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

[Sexual Ealing]

Trossard to Turkey seems a bit of a waste. Although his weird binoculars/goggles celebration gets on my nerves, he has talent and assists from the bench. Wonder if Olabe should throw in a cheeky punt to try to hijack that one?

Too old for us I expect

Is Leonardo DiCaprio doing our scouting now?!

Do these V(Villa)Loggers have legacy jobs from the time before Insta reels and fan-gorging/gouging ? They mention partners and kids so they must be non-Villa functioning humans too. Beyond affiliate link kickbacks and in-video promotional messages, they still need white or blue collar activity to go along with the claret ones, surely.

Given that we are stick with the one in one out rule for CL, which effectively means the same squad as last season unless we sell someone, does anyone know how that works with the loans we had? Ie does Sancho and Doug out free up two spaces as long as whoever replaces them are on lower wages?

Justin sells spuds. I think Dan does football full-time, and Luke (UTV) who used to be a hairdresser. One brother from The (best) Villa Podcast works for the Irish Independent, the three on Claret & Blue are full-time. The guys on Love Paul McGrath have jobs.

I like Dan Bardell, but am not sure how he's got the inside track on what we can do this summer.

Well, Justin has said we have found a sponsor to be announced in the next few days. There is only one way to settle who is more clued up………


FIGHT !!!!!!

Didn't Justin also go big on 'Asensio is coming back' last summer, mind?

[Toronto Villa]

Dan Bardell is ok, but he does like to drop in “my sources”, which tend to not amount to much at all.

[ChicagoLion]

He was a bit condescending to the don’t want Greasy back view.

Yes but Kamara takes one of those slots.

Awful as to what has happened to the £ since brexit!

Arsenal have agreed to sell Belgium forward Leandro Trossard, 31, to Turkish side Besiktas for 20 euros (£17m). (Athletic - subscription required)
