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

There definitely seems to be an age and price theme emerging around our transfer links.

Unai loves experienced players who can play in the hear and now. However the only way we can quickly build revenue outside of the usual commercial streams is using the model of Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford. It seems both models can work alongside each other. At the moment apart from Rogers we haven't done nearly enough to show that our recruitment can successfully identify rising stars with huge potential sell ones. With the crooked PSR rules clever player trading is our only hope in keeping up with the established top 4.

I don't think it necessarily is, I think qualifying for the Champions League again next season is the key for us.

As if to spite my earlier post, we are now being linked with Kerim Alajbegovic, the young Bosnian winger at the World Cup;

Must be the day for Villa rumours.

I would like us to sign this chap.

Yeah like him. A couple of young, pacey, tricky wingers that want to attack in place of Bailey and Sancho, with minimal departures, I genuinely think we are good to go if Kamara is fit.

Seem to be a few rumours around that we're looking at Sofyan Amrabat as well.

Didn't he have an unremarkable spell at Man U?

If he is cover for Kamara and Onana, then I can see the point, we are badly lacking without that structure. Would have to be very cheap.

No idea if this is true or what effect it has on it, but Wikipedia reckons he’s already signed for Bayer Leverkusen and will join them after the WC

They've exercised their buy back on him I think, so could still be open to selling him at a profit
