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

According to Tanswell we don't want to sell him because the value isn't there.

the James Maddison one is surely a wind-up....

Which was always the case, this is why I've not been remotely concerned about him leaving this summer. £35-40m is the minimum for us to be remotely interested (because we'd need a big chunk of that to get a replacement) and there just doesn't seem to be anyone with that sort of money to use on a keeper.

The time to sell was last season, when we could have got a whopping big fee and needed to reduce the wages. I don't suppose we will ever know if the club were encouraging a move, or it was Emi. On balance I'm glad he stayed, but I was cross at the time.

I don't think Rogers or Konsa will go either.

Something will have to give though, as we really need some pace on the wings and some defensive cover. I have a feeling a couple of the younger players like Alisson and Madjo might make a significant contribution this season though.

At this point, in Emi and Bizot we have brilliant options. If a good keeper comes along and wants to stick around and wait for Emi’s contract to expire then fine. But I wouldn’t be pushing Emi out. Getting £15-£20M and wages of our books helps of course but I’d rather keep him for the immense tangible and intangible value he continues to provide us.

Indeed. If the Dutch had Marco playing for them they would have not gone home early.
