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

[Brazilian Villain]

Hull are after Guessand and Bailey

Cheers, just got 3/1 on Hull to avoid relegation.

Buy one erratic winger, get one free.

[PaulWinch again]

Watching Evann for Villa I dreamed of the heady heights of “erratic”.

[Dick Edwards]

Guessand isn't a winger though, even if we have tried (and failed) to make him into one. He's really an attacking midfielder. I'd like Unai to give him a pre season chance there at least, before we bin him at a loss.

He's shit.

[Exeter 77]

Every time I have seen Guessand play for the Ivory Coast he has been down the middle.

A Palace mate says that is where Glasner played him too. He reckons he was OK, not shite.

[Toronto Villa]

He was shit for us because he rarely played in what you'd think was his best position which is more centrally. A position he more readily played at his former clubs in France. Why Unai punted him to the wing I'll never know. His confidence wouldn't have been helped as he turned in poor performance after next. At Palace he was played more to where he is accustomed and he started show a little form. This isn't me saying we should keep him because he just isn't at the level of a club in the top 6.

[Percy McCarthy]

Pruned (macheted?) wage bill:

Barrenechea
Dobbin
Malen
Garcia
Digne
Tielemans
Bailey (?)
Rogers
Barry
Swinkels
Sancho
Elliott

Spent a long time doing that with Malen too.

And all that's all a bit odd given he saw in Rogers a guy playing purely on the wing and thought "no, let's move you more into the middle".

[olaftab]

Dobbin has 100% scoring record for Southampton this season. Another mind boggling transfer.
