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

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Yeah, he's down as a CB or CDM on transfermarkt and wiki.

Why are we even looking at Royale when we have Cissé joining us in a couple of weeks time

Because Cissé doesn't play right-back?

Erm..perhaps he does at least every time I've seen him. He can also cover right centre half.

Here you go, Dave..

I mean...that's a video of clips of a man playing at centre-back?

or how Micah Richards positioned himself at right back

[paul_e]

To be fair I think they generally played him on the right of a 3 so he's sort of halfway between you both.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Yeah, just looked at a few of their line-ups and it is often a 3 at the back.

Given that we’ve been heavily linked with Paqueta before, I’m speculating that we’ve been tracking him at Flanengo, and Emerson Royal has stood out.

[Brazilian Villain]

Given that we’ve been heavily linked with Paqueta before,

I thought he was pretty rubbish tonight.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Given that we’ve been heavily linked with Paqueta before,

I thought he was pretty rubbish tonight.

As I said after the first Brazil game, a cheeky 8m bid for Bruno Guimarães. Paqueta should be half that.

There’s space in the squad for a ‘he’s better than Garcia’ role. It’s a pretty low bar.
