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

I'm sure that keeps him awake most nights.

He's absolutely not gonna care about that and shouldn't.

His standing in the game has dropped though. At Villa basically the whole of England were up in arms he wasn't starting. Pundits on both BBC and ITV were having kittens. These days he can get left out of the squad and no one would care. He's 30. I'm not worried either way, but his stock is way down.

As for Rogers, if he goes, it'll be for 125m+. I guarantee it. Why people bother reading and reciting that shit I don't know. Does he want to go? Probably. An ambitious young man. Is he tied down until 2031 at a Champions League club with half of Europe watching him? Definitely. Wallets out, dickheads.

Lucas Bergvall informs Tottenham Hotspur of preference to seek new challenge elsewhere. 20yo midfielder targeted by clubs in PL + Europe & #THFC aware of wish to leave this summer for fresh start. #Sweden int’l contracted until 2031

Villa not mentioned but we have been linked for a while.

If he were to join, which player would he replace/be phased in for?

[Dave]

My best guess is you'd be trying to turn him into the eventual McGinn replacement.

No one because he’s shite and we hopefully won’t be signing him.

I am going to die on this hill.

He’ll cost £50-60 mil (guess). Not sure if that rules us out

I think that anyone who is 19 / 20 and playing regularly in the Premier League and for a decent(ish) international side, you're probably buying them for what they might be rather than what they are.

If he were 28 and playing at his current level, I'd probably agree. But given he's only a few months older than (for example) Zépiqueno Redmond or Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba, whatever he's doing now should really be seen as ahead of where he should be.

And given what we need now are 20 year olds to turn into McGinn / Watkins / Tielemans / Pau in three years, he feels like the sort of 20 year old who you could turn into something.

The worry for me is he cant get in a shit Spurzzz team , but we then have Unai he knows  .  I miss him and it is only June !!

Bergvall is quality - he will go a long way on his ability to fight, amazed he wasn’t in their team more last season.

I can see him being in any combination in the centre mid where we are massively injury prone, or on the right for McGinn. He might not be first choice, but he has the potential to be and our options are not 1. young or 2. not unknown to be out injured for weeks on end.
