Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[VancouverLion]

If he does go, I'd be all in for Dean Henderson, 29 years old and in his prime years.

[eamonn]

Swap with Guessand and a few quid.

Sky saying Barca are not looking at signing Rashford, are United looking for around £26m?

[Brend'Watkins]

Cole Ramsey hasn’t lived up to expectations then.

Can't see anyone buying him outright due to wages. Reckon he'll end up on loan (probably to Barca), with Manure paying a % of his wages.

Shame, wasn't there chat at one stage that he was the best of the three? Also disappointing that Kerr Smith never kicked on, although the serious injury he suffered at St' Johnstone likely didn't help.

Transfer fee isn't the issue - paying him 6-7m a year more for 5 years is the risk. He has had 2.5 good seasons out of the last 6.

We were prepared to previously weren’t we? Had we qualified for the Champions League last year.

From all the Ramsey's to none. It's a shame.

It made me smile when I looked on the Bodymoor Heath reviews on Google Maps a while ago and saw this;

There was a fee agreed as part of the deal.

But it was never binding, IIRC.

The feeling always was that if Barca were truly interested he'd go there. Even if we made CL again in 2025.

Understandable, really.

But with the way the loan went with us - and how positively he still speaks about Emery and co - we might be next cab off the rank if they piss about too much this summer.

[Rudy65]

Robin Roefs at Sunderland has done well this season.

23 yrs old. Signed by Sunderland for £9.5m plus add-ons last summer.
£30k a week wages
6'4"
In the Dutch Workd Cup Squad.

Not sure what he'd cost, or if he fits the bill as a replacement.

Bought for £10m, contracted to Sunderland until 2030, they appear highly rate him, broken into Dutch team…would cost a shitload of money.

Sunderland supporting mate loves him. Would take big £ to get him

[KevinGage]

It would hardly be a long term option either, but De Gea at Fiorentina is closer to the calibre of replacement I'd be looking at. If Emi does decide to downgrade, for whatever reason.

Or Kepa, if he was realistic about the £.

Both infinitely better than Trafford.

[Dave]

But it was never binding, IIRC.

But if there was no scenario where we thought we could make his wages work on a permanent basis (or there was no chance he'd consider signing permanently), we wouldn't have wasted our time negotiating those agreements last January?

[KevinGage]

It was always an option, rather than an obligation.

And the understanding from very early on in that deal - even when he'd actually played a game or two for us - was that Barca was still his first choice.

But yes, from our end, we must have felt confident that with CL (and with poss moving a player or two on) we could make the numbers work.

Think it's fair to say Emery wanted him.
