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

[Brazilian Villain]

I don't think the finances will be the issue with Rashford at all. If he wants to come and Emery still wants him, I can see it happening.

Agreed, but I think if it happens it'll be much later in the window if / when it it turns out that no massive super-club is planning to go for him.

Agree with all this. Would also keep Emi, if at all possible.

🚨🟣🔵 Excl: Zion Suzuki among 3 GKs in list at Aston Villa for summer window if Emiliano Martínez ends up leaving.

Aston Villa aware of Juve being in talks with the Argentine GK but nothing agreed club to club yet.

Suzuki been scouted for months at Parma.

On your bike Emi!

Which keeper is as good with the ball at his feet, distribution wise, timing wise, and can pull off the saves he does?

Granted the odd mistake is always there but it’s
An integral part of how emery plays. So who is there?

[PeterWithesShin]

Zion, is a lion, in Aston.

I'd like us to sign a Japanese player but not in these circumstances. Would have to put up with people being incredibly dull every time he gets mentioned.

Get him in!

We'll be motoring across Europe.

NO!

Wait! I don't remember typing that! 😡

My thoughts too, and I can't think of anyone who could do it. I'm sure there are some out there, but he's pretty special.

based on a poster here, I understand Trafford is strong in that department, which makes sense given his Pep schooling.

David Ornstein has posted that man city have offered Forest £106m + add ons bringing the  total to £120m for Elliot Anderson.

So yeah we should be asking £100m for Rogers.

Yep, this is, I suspect, the main reason it's a recurring link because on paper he's a very similar player, not quite as good a shot stopper yet but he'll get there I think. I'd be happy with Trafford but I'd really prefer him to have a year as understudy/competing with Emi rather than having to go full sink or swim. I doubt Trafford particularly wants that year though given he seems keen to be number 1 somewhere.

[PaulWinch again]

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.

De Gea’s main weakness is with his feet so can’t see that working.
