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

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

I still think I could live with it though

What, bringing in the greatest player of his generation and beyond even though he's 39 and playing with the energy of a 19 year old?

Ah, go on then just no Shay Given length contract mind. 3 years max. Only downside I can think of is nobody wanting the new shit Villa shirt even with his name on the back.

Does he even speak Spanish?

He's Argentinian, so it's debatable.

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

Whatever they speak down there, it's not Spanish.

Speaking of world class players, Big Emi can't leave for less than £30m, where the hell would we find a proper replacement for that money. Somebody needs to tell Juventus to shit or get off the pot.  tell them to come back in two or three years time, afterall they love a 'mature keeper'.

What happened to those MLS to PL loans during the MLS close season?  Resurrect that, and watch the shirt sales boom for the foreseeable future.  Easy.
