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

[Dogtanian]

When I looked it was being shouted by Caught Offside... until I see someone more trustworthy suggest it, I'm going to take it as clickbait.

[Dogtanian]

Out of interest, how many times do we reckon you can 'step up' your pursuit of a player while not actually doing anything?

It just seems every few days we get Arsenhole bloggers wanking off in a frenzy about how they are 'getting serious' in their pursuit, yet nothing seems to be happening according to any 'respectable' journalists.

Whether he stays or goes, I've no idea, but is there anything more boring than Arsenal twats running out of their mom's handcream over it?

Don't sign Jones, he's an arrogant fucker. Would rather keep Harvey Ballbanger.

[Sexual Ealing]

Yeah I'm a bit sceptical of Jones himself. I was just responding to the idea that we Don't Need More Midfielders. But Jones himself? Hmm.

Nevertheless I'm hoping this isn't an Elliot 2.0 situation, for the simple reason that it's Olabe there not Monchi. Judgement reserved and all that.

Maybe it was Jones that Emery wanted last summer, Monchi couldn't pull it off and thought Elliot would do instead, and was wrong.

Strong SGT asking for Sheringham and Doug emerging triumphantly with Cascarino vibes.

To be honest I couldnt tell you anything about him - other than he is english and plays for liverpool.   Looking at his goals and assists Im guessing he is not the Bailey / Sancho / Guessand upgrade I am hoping for

A very ordinary player, he looks like everything a modern footballer should look like except the playing football but.
Too much arrogance for one so ordinary.

Jacob Tanswell on the 1874 pod last night saying right wing is our priority, with a couple players in mind that will excite the fans. Obviously couldn't say who at this point.
He also said he thinks there will be a shake up at left back and he thinks for sure there will be bids coming in for Konsa.

Shake up at left back sounds like Mastsen going I would of thought rather Digne. Hopefully bids for Konsa can be given short shrift

I did speculate with my mate a few months back that it could be Konsa we cash in on this summer.

[Sexual Ealing]

It's not ideal but I could live with it.

I think the stages are:
On the radar
Keeping Tabs
Manager is a Keen Admirer
Interested
Stepping up interest
Have made enquires
In talks
Preparing a Bid
Talks are progressing
Player only wants X club
Here we go
Player writes a farewell tweet
Shirt stretched

I did speculate with my mate a few months back that it could be Konsa we cash in on this summer.

My punt was that we would end up cashing in on whichever of our big, sellable assets at the World Cup (Rogers / Konsa / Tielemans / Onana) performed the best.

Right now, it feels like Konsa is the most likely of that four.

[LeeB]

It's not ideal but I could live with it.

Likewise, but only if it meant keeping Rogers.

[Toronto Villa]

Konsa to Liverpool wouldn'r shock me as a partner to VVD and long term replacement. It unfortunately won't stop the Rogers to x club rumours

I think it was mentioned sometime ago that Liverpool are long time admirers of him.

I hope Konsa has enough sense to keep well clear of teams with VD.
