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

[Mister E]

Perlease, no!! He is genuinely shit; Sancho levels of shite, in fact. Why would we take another RedManc-Chelsea cast-off?!!!
Jeeeezus H.

[Mister E]

Anyway whatever we do one thing Olabe must not help Chelsea by going for Jackson and/or Garnacho

Abso-fucking-lutely.
With no Euro games, Chelsea should be considered a top-four-contender next season. No help and no hope.

🚨🟣🔵 Understand Aston Villa sent official bid to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho - following exclusive story about initial talks on Friday.

Initial loan with buy clause included being discussed as Unai Emery approved Garnacho as target.

Talks ongoing also player side w/ #AVFC.

What he @mjmarr_star said basically.

[Dave]

Said last summer that if we were taking wingers off Man Utd then the order of preference should be Rashford > Garnacho > Sancho.

If it happens let's hope he's closer to the former than the latter.

[aev]

Ridiculous.

One step forward with money coming in for Rogers and 2 steps back with a loan for someone that seems a dressing room harmony disaster and pretty poor performances on the pitch.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I’ll make a case for Garnacho not a great one but a case never the less

Yes he comes over as a prick, all that sitting on advertising boards and acting like a twat is something he picked up playing for man Utd because they like that entitled shit
his attitude also might be in question but he is young so hopefully can be ironed out

But there’s no doubt he is a pacey tricky player, he’s caused us a few problems at times but his end product is a bit rubbish
That’s where Emery and the team come in, I doubt he’s as far gone in his attitude as Duran was because even Unai gave up on him he was a lost cause, but I think garnacho could be saved
Yes he’s a risk but is also a precocious talent which needs coaching and if he is willing to learn and is able to play in the Emery system he could be a good signing

I’ve always liked a maverick player, is Garnacho a unpolished gem with some skills or has he flattered to deceive and it’s caught up with him now
If Unai Emery brings him to Villa it will be interesting to find out

I’m sorry but that’s all I got

Let me help you, John. Read again what you've written but this time read 'Sancho' instead of 'Garnacho'. Last time I looked we're not an NGO helping overpaid tossers who enjoy the lifestyle of being an elite footballer but refuse to put the effort in. Fifty fifty ball? Heaven forbid! In the words of the late Terence Edward Hall, 'too much too young'.

Didn't lots of people say that Rashford was a bad influence in the dressing room? Also, Sancho. Hardly a roaring success on the pitch but I didn't hear any rumours of problems behind the scenes despite advance warnings.

Maybe just trust that Emery does his research into things like this and wouldn't consider bringing in a player he expected to be disruptive.

[Dogtanian]

I don't know the ins and outs of Garnacho's history, but I do think that just because Sancho didn't set the world alight, it doesn't really mean anything about whether Garnacho will or not.

A loan I don't have an issue with at all, if Emery has looked at him and believes he has a profile he can work with.

[andyh]

Garnacho means the end of the Mbaye dream then ?

[exigo]

It's about attitude really.
Rashford saw us as a stepping stone, as he wanted the move to Barça. But, to get that move, he had to work hard and show his desire for us for six months. He did that in spades.
Sancho saw us as beneath him. One goal, barely any assists, a refusal to track back or get within the same postcode as a tackle. He wasn't trying to win a deal from us, he just wanted the 300k a week to sit and count.

Garnacho is a headcase. A talented headcase, but has so much form for annoying teammates and splitting dressing rooms. He's hardly likely to come to us with an intent to win a contract, as he'll have already annoyed half the team before then.

I think he’s better than Sancho, he’s more likely to take players on, Sancho doesn’t nor does Bailey for that matter
I like the directness about him he will have a go,

I’m just looking for the positives mate as it looks like we’re serious in trying to bring him in
He might well end up being a waste of time like Sancho, but I think there’s more about him in his playing style anyway,
i’ve given up on Sancho Bailey and Guessand I hope Garnacho if he comes doesn’t get added to the list.

Plus you can never have too many Argentinians at the Villa.

[cdbearsfan]

I would like both. If we sign the latter, then I would hope that he isn't our only additional wide player as it is unreasonable to expext a teenager to come in and play the vast majority of matches. Someone on loan to rotate with him would be ideal.

At least we can start the team sheet tantrums a fair bit earlier.

Against my better judgement I'm going to trust you on this one but should he turn out to be another waste of space, I'm going to hunt you down and force feed you Francesinhas for a week. You've been warned! *
