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

[ChicagoLion]

I still scratch my head at how remarkably shite Guessand was.

I kind of get how the Elliot shambles came about, but I don't understand how all that recruitment analysis and data came up with a competition winner like Evann.

He was given a decent amount of gametime to get up to speed, but just didn't get out of the blocks. 

I assume he is a write-off, but is there any chance he's rehabilitated back into the squad this summer?  Or is he really as shite as he looks?

If Guessand has been one of 3/4 30m signings last summer he would have some slack given to him - as he was the only real price tag signing the focus was laser focussed on him.  There’s clearly a very good player in there but is it as a wide player?, what we saw suggests not so absolutely questions why we went for him when wide was required.

It’s not clear to me there’s a good player in there certainly not at the level we need

Not at this level.

If, and it's a big if, there's any truth in this, then we most certainly have something significant lined up.

I really wouldn't hold your breath.  We are absolutely fcked by SCR.

Then surely we won't sell him, if we can't replace him.

Yes. Plus he has 2 young kids a wife to consider moving them to Turkey.

I was out with a Palace fan last night and Mr Guessand cropped up in the conversation. He reckoned he was OK, didn't set the world alight but didn't steal a living either. Showed no desire for them to buy him.

We won’t be selling Ollie. File under bollocks

Maybe it’s a convoluted way of freeing up space for Rashford, a free like Vlahovic or a high profile loan.

[PaulWinch again]

Not Vlahovic please.
