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

[cdbearsfan]

This might be open to ridicule, and it's a big if, but if he stayed fit I reckon Barkley could more or less replace Tielemans

I agree. I think Man U should definitely break the bank to get him and stick Tielemans on the bench.

I think Barkley did quite well for that hour.

Blowing out his arse after 60mins no doubt

With this latest link  I reckon we're now at:

Onana - Palhinha (loan)
Tielemans - Gomes
Digne - Estupinan
Sancho - manzambi

So all bring down the average age, lower the wage bill and don't drop much in terms of quality in the short term. Not a bad window as it stands.

Do you think Gomes can play the Tielemans roll Paul?  His passing stats are pretty grim aren't they?  Appreciate that was in a poor team, but even so...

Ahem….

Unai Emery Gif

Who’s Jao Gomes play for and why would a journalist be pleased if his transfer happens? I’m confused.

If that’s referring to what I said about Townley, I’m just pleased for him that he broke the news. Inoffensive, sensible lad and he’s a Villa fan. Makes a change from the likes of Fabrizio getting credit for the shit-stirring he does.

I like his videos, seems like a wide eyed fan loving his job.

Good work Mr Townley.

I'm assuming that Manzambi is doing Tielemans' job in our side next season and we haven't seen the Sancho replacement yet.

Crikey....Barkley / Bogarde off maybe?

In terms of the profile of player, Joao Gomes looks to be the replacement for the Connor Gallagher that we wanted but never got.

Have to say I'm very happy it's turned out this way.

[PeterWithesShin]

Hopefully he's better than Dendoncker.

Yep - Gallagher is a good player but suspect wages are very high comparatively speaking.
