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

Woltemade!? WTFemade more like. 

He's got something. I'd take him.

What you do in your own time is your own business, but I thought his Harvey Elliot-esque hair might put you off.

I take a mantelpiece/fire* approach to strikers. You have to look at midfielders.

*I know he hasn't lit many fires yet!

Rogers leaving for some shite part-ex involving their cast-offs like Martinelli and Trossard with us paying much of the cash element to Middlesbrough would be the pits.

Plus Trossard's goggly-eyed binocular goal celebration is so sub-SJM.

And also, Trossard looks like Robbie Williams's ghost.

[ADVILLAFAN]

That referee that looks exactly like Trossard, is at this World Cup.

Hope he gets a Belgium game.

The mail running a story that Rice and Saka are essentially tapping up Rogers to get the price down to £85M. All that is wrong with modern football in one article.

If he goes, £125M on current prices is the minimum starting point surely.

[Dante Lavelli]

West Ham and Palace want £80m for Wharton and Fernandez, neither made their World Cup squads.  The price has to be right for him to leave.

How does that work?

If we sell him, and Arsenal are the club who buy him then chats with Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka at England camp will have precisely nothing to do with the price.

Age old tactic….get at him so he asks to leave….not many teams want to keep an unhappy player….ai his value drops

[Sexual Ealing]

No. He’s under contract. I’ve no doubt he wants to go, but it has no impact on his price.

You've no doubt he wants to go ... how come?

[Sexual Ealing]

Because that’s the noise, and it’s always what they want, to go bigger. We are not Arsenal or PSG or Real Madrid, and that’s where they want to be.

Edit: and yes, we’re also in the Champions League, but the fact that we keep having to remind people of that is an indication that we’re not in that universe. Celtic and Anderlecht (probably) are in the CL, but we’re not worried about them.

Good news for us, I trust they're telling him what a tit Arteta is.

Arsenal aren't PSG or Real Madrid either. Personally would wait another of my 5 years at a club that plays football and see if any of the very big boys are keen on me.

Because footballers, famously, only ever talk to each other at internationals.

[Brend'Watkins]

Rogers only needs to look at how Grealish’s career went after his big move. Yes, I know he can point to his medals but they are not down to him are they?

In any case, if he goes he goes, I won’t be losing any sleep over the decision that we make.
