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

[Mister E]

When he's been described as 'Aston Villa's goal machine' it causes one to wonder how reliable the source is.
I say that as a Watkins advocate, not one of Smirker's accolytes.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm not sure how much Watkins is on, but I imagine it's up there at the top around the £150k pw mark, which is what 9m EUR is roughly.

Why would he swap a 2 year deal here in the Premier League, for a 3 year deal over there on the same money?

Not even close to the same money, he's been offered €138,461 a week AFTER tax.

A weekly wage of one hundred and fifty thousand of your Great British Pounds would see him paying 45% tax (plus NI). That's £82,500 a week before NI.

Wow -and with all those kids to feed.  No wonder his heads turned.

Last I heard he still has the two, if he and his wife have since added a new one to the family we should 100% get rid. Every time they have a baby his form turns to mush.

They're trying to get the natives excited. Source has over 2.1 million followers on X but the main site is a portal covering every type of news.

Watkins isn't going to Turkey. Fenerbahce have bid 40M for Greenwood.

[cdbearsfan]

Fuck Fenerbahçe.

Just wait until Dogtanian sees his haircut. It will be love at first sight. Or not.

Hmmm… dare I google?

[Dogtanian]

Oh god, yeah, that’s dreadful.

I just checked with my sister. No sign of another on the way - she saw his other half sinking a vino last week!

They should also point out that he’s an assist factory as well.

No idea what he is like but that’s a great name for a foreign footballer.

On name alone I’d give him a 70% chance of success in England.

SSN:Bruno Guimaraes has told Newcastle that he wants to join Arsenal. Newcastle have confirmed the interest from Arsenal.

Great news if true.

[PaulWinch again]

Any particular reason?

[brontebilly]

Any chance we take Luiz back with Onana injured and Barkley possibly moving?
