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

I thought Muani was the best player on the pitch first half against us, which in turn was a symbol of how awful we were. Don't get me wrong, he's better than Bailey and probably Sancho, so might be a cheap loan.

The last loan we got from PSG who wasn't considered good enough for their first eleven did okay.  I'd be a bit 'meh' about this, but purely because time at Spurs wasn't very good - but Spurs has been a basket case for two years, so I'd try not to hold that against him too much.

As always, if Unai and the team have seen something in him that makes them think they can get a decent tune out of him, then great.  I suspect that with Onana's injury, we're going to be maxing out our loans again this season, so if this is one of them instead of buying an attacker, then so be it.

He's one of those highly rated players that's always had me wondering what the fuss is about when I've seen him play.

Yep agreed I don’t really get it with him. Admittedly he was in a poor side, but he was dreadful at Spurs.

Still being linked with Pedro Vite;

Though that post has mixed messages, I think.

Aston Villa Eyeing Kolo Muani Deal

According to French journalist Sebastien Denis, Aston Villa are 'in the mix' to complete a deal for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani this summer.

Hope not; he's really not very good.

My Frankfurt supporting neighbour would disagree with you.  He was excellent there but didn’t quite cut the mustard at PSG, did ok at Juve and then poor bloke ended up at Spudz!.  Could be an Emery project similar to Asensio

Surely there's never been a more "two year contract at Galatasaray" player in history than Salah.

Chaos at the airport on arrival, club scarf hastily thrown on and surrounded by heavies trying to guide him through.
