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

[frank black]

It always felt like this was a team that would need a refresh this summer, and that is what we are seeing happening.

Yep. Manzambi is a great start. If he plays the Youri role in midfield as an 8 rather than further forward then it makes sense for us to have gone in for him so quickly, but we still need a couple more in there. Bouba just off a MCL injury, Barkley slow and better at 10 really, got to go and buy 2 mids for me as it is so pivotal to the way Emery operates.

Add in the others out, I don’t think we need another striker with Tammy, Ollie and Madjo, but we certainly need 2 wide options.

Got Guessand too, don’t forget him.

Why not? He's completely forgettable and at best we'll break-even on his amortisation.

My tongue was firmly attached to my cheek

We now need…

2 wide options
Holding Mid
Left back
Right back
Versatile mid that replaces Youri

Quite a bit of work to do!

Mings still likely to move on, so LCB too.

Hoping at this stage Rogers, Martinez and Watkins are staying.

[Beard82]

Surely Johan fills one of those gaps?

The Joaquin Seys link sounds interesting. I’d never heard of him, but 21-year LB who was in the Belgian WC squad.

Says who?

Joaquin Seys put your hands on your hips

Joaquin Seys jump up and down

Joaquin Seys spin around

Sit down


Haha, you’re out.

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Club Brugge’s Seys is a left-back that Aston Villa ‘appreciate’.

Sounds a bit LinkedIn to me. I certainly don’t ’Celebrate that’

According to a report from Caught Offside, Aston Villa are now eyeing a move for Trevoh Chalobah, in what will have to be a hijack of Inter Milan, who have been discussing making an offer worth a total of €35m (£30m), which would meet Chelsea's demands.

However, Villa will have to move swiftly if they are going to lure the defender to Villa Park, as he is keen to complete a move to the San Siro.

Good grief no.

I will be sectioned by the time the hundredth person on here calls him Trevor. No deal.

🚨 NEW: Aston Villa are interested in Boca Juniors midfielder Tomás Aranda (20) — a formal approach cannot be ruled out in the coming days.
