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

Would he get 10+ goals and 10+ assists in all comps?

Absolutely, I would think.

Unless there was some weird obligation to take one of their players (Kellyman / Maatsen) you'd think we would be avoiding their players at all costs.

We seem to specialise in weird obligations.

Rashford simply isn’t worth the money he gets from Man Utd, and I dont think he impressed enough during his short stint at Villa to warrant us bringing him in on loan with ridiculously high wages again either.

Is where I am too. Not sure how he managed to land a move, even on loan, to Barca out of it. Did pretty well there but not enough to get a permanent deal it seems. Don't think there's any chance of him playing for Man United again after how he behaved there previously.

We have had this previously, granted with players/wages nowhere near Rashfords level. But it gets to the stage does he want to be the best footballer he can be or maximise every cent out of his current contract. If it's the former he will have plenty of options, if it's the latter it's another late loan move.

If we buy one of theirs we might as well shoot our feet off and post them to Uefa.

[Somniloquism]

Not stating we are going to get him but Scott from Bournemouth isn't signing a new contract so you would assume Bournemouth will now cash in this summer.

One would assume he's going to be following Iraola to Liverpool.

Especially as back and forth deals between two clubs are now considered swaps (by UEFA) if they’re within 45 days, and fees are adjusted accordingly. The thing that stopped us going for the Newcastle striker (Osulu?) after we sold them JJ.

Most likely. And would be a massive upgrade on the clogger MacAllister.

The little shitbag deserves stronger terms than clogger!

🚨 NEW: Aston Villa are considering alternative right-back options after difficulty in agreeing a fee with Flamengo for Emerson Royal — he wishes to leave & join Villa, but talks are currently on hold.
@J_Tanswell
 
🚨 Aston Villa are willing to listen to offers for Tammy Abraham but are not actively looking to sell.
@J_Tanswell
 
🟣🔵 Nicolas Jackson and Alejandro Garnacho, both discussed among options between Aston Villa and Chelsea - as revealed last week.

Names mentioned during the key meeting for Morgan Rogers.

Garnacho gives priority to AS Roma but no agreement yet with Chelsea. 🇦🇷

Jacob Tanswell

Crystal Palace decide against pursuing Evann Guessand. 25yo available to leave #AVFC but will return for pre-season towards the end of the month.

[PaulWinch again]

This thing of signing players and then be willing to listen to offers within 6 months needs appropriate reflection in the recruitment team.

🚨 Chelsea want £65m for Nicolas Jackson.
@SJohnsonSport

[ASHTONVILLA]

I don't think Nicholas Jackson would be a bad signing. Has scored something like 30 goals in 80 appearances for Chelsea in the Prem. Worked with Emery. Plays multiple positions. Still fairly young.

I wouldn't entertain £65m as a fee, but for a reasonable fee of say £35m I think he could be a shrewd signing.

No to Garnacho though, he looks like Skeletor.
