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

[Percy McCarthy]

Welcome Emerson - 4 year contract @ £100k + a week - I bet he can’t wait to join us

Where’s this from?

I guess it is a good sign that we have 9MM spare to spend on a back up right back. Maybe we are not as constrained on transfers as last year

Guess it also means that Mingueza can hang out with Harry Wilson on the "never wanted him anyway" pile.

I suspect he's seen as a short term stop gap whilst Rowe gets some more experience. Emery clearly doesn't trust Garcia or Ned so we do need someone there.

From what I recall he did ok for Spurs for about 18months before dropping off right around the time they started falling apart but I might be misremembering.

[Dogtanian]

I think I have seen that both Garcia and Ned are expected to go this summer.

Certainly Garcia has some clubs interested in him.

I feel some flippancy on this one

It would be great to unearth another Jack. Or even a Gabby. It’s been a long time since we developed a big player.

JJ?

I’d forgotten JJ, to be fair. Another like him would be great.

Didn't Mingueza want guaranteed playing time? A bit tricky with Cash and Konsa? Shame.

Is guaranteed playing time an actual thing? What if we’d said yes (because we didn’t have Cash) and then he’d been shit. It can’t be contractual, surely. Sounds made up.

It’s almost never contractual, however a player may want verbal reassurances or will make up his own mind as to whether he is likely to be first choice.

Maybe our scouts use Sofascore, because Cash and Royal have almost identical profiles.

From Sid's sunny disposition on anything Villa.
