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

I won't link because of the source, but this is always good to read.

Daily Mail Sport can reveal that Sawiris is determined to ignore all interest in Rogers unless he receives offers well above £100million. He looks at the fee of about £120m Manchester City might pay for Elliot Anderson, and the £100m-plus price tag for Liverpool target Yan Diomande, and sees no reason why he should offer a discount on Rogers.

Is entirely the right answer.

I bloody love our Mr Sawiris.

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.

Jones is no Sheringham except in the shagger stakes.

No to Jones for several reasons but his hair is a monstrosity is the main one

120 Million is the minimum for Rogers. Arsenal can put up or shut up. If he does leave I hope it's to one of the European giants.  I also hope we have another Rogers waiting to join us for £10 Million. He has such a different sort of player profile, it's difficult to compare him with many players in world football.

Could we try and entice Leo Messi? Get Dibu to have a word. Would make up for missing out on David Villa all those years ago.

Nah, would cause too many ructions in the squad. Can’t have some unproven chap coming in and trying to nick little Emi’s squad number, just because he’s kicked some balls around abroad.

We're trying to lower the age of the squad! Messi will be 39 on Wednesday.

I'd still take him.

I still think I could live with it though

[Dogtanian]

Does he even speak Spanish?

C'mon Mark, please make am exception.

[Brazilian Villain]

He's Argentinian, so it's debatable.

Fair enough, I guess.

But should Villa buy him?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He doesn't sound like an Iberian transistor radio on full volume so he'll do for me.
