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

[Dogtanian]

Romano reporting that Newcastle have ‘left’ negotiations with Manzambi’s camp.

Wonder how long they’ve been on that Teams call waiting for someone to join?

[Tuscans]

I'll be surprised if Rogers leaves.

Knowing Arsenal have spoken to his reps, him being at a World Cup with his bluenose buddy...would you really be surprised if he shot off?

[PeterWithesShin]

Yes, which is why I said I would be.

[Olneythelonely]

I wouldn’t be surprised either way. I think he’s more likely to leave than not though.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm not convinced anyone will pay the value we put on him, and I don't think he's desparate to leave which would put pressure on us to be more open to offers.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Johan Manzambi to Aston Villa — DONE DEAL! Fee is worth almost €70m, including add-ons. Long-term contract agreed with medical soon!
@Plettigoal
 
£60m!? Really?

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Sunderland linked to Matias Soule, who if you believe the rumours was of interest to us previously.

[cdbearsfan]

Newcastle supposedly agreed £49 million so not sure why we would be paying more, unless it is some renegotiated smaller fee up front, with more add-ons.

Yeah, that's where I am. Plus, we're always resigned to these things because of the past, but we've never been in this position before, there really aren't many better places to be right now and if you make the wrong move you could quickly bollocks a career in the middle of a stellar rise.
