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

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

From his wiki page…

In 2021–22, still under Amorim, Palhinha began facing stiff competition from newly signed Manuel Ugarte, with various injury issues limiting his time and his tackles also reduced compared to the previous season.[32][33] He later attributed this decline in tackles to the refereeing in Portugal, stating that "in Portugal he felt he couldn't make a tackle, every touch was a yellow card"

😁

I’m presuming he thought the same about English refs then, as I’m sure he got something like 15 yellows in his first season at Fulham.

Looking at these everyone looks like a potentiall sending off but somehow he times them perfectly

Good job as there were a few where he jumped in, if he was a second late it could have been a red card. He certainly likes a slide tackle.

If we could replace Rogers with Gibbs-White, and sign Paulinho and Royal as back up we'd be in pretty good shape tbh. Sell Guessand and Bailey later in the window.

I've gone off the idea of signing Palhinha.

There's no way I'll survive a whole season of everyone getting his name wrong.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Well if he will keep changing it from Paulinha, then it's his own fault.

I just hope we keep Rodgers.

Or Seeron as the stadium announcer in Philadelphia pronounced his name.

The touch line announcer blokey used various different pronunciations for Bogarde last season.
Did add to the pre-game amusement

Type "Pauline Eschatology" into your search engine of choice and see if it softens your cough.

Chelsea bid accepted for Rogers?

[AV82EC]

Looks like it.

117M. You'd think Rogers would prefer Arsenal.

They call him Natasha but he looks like Elsie.

Et tu, Morgan?
