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

[Todd Packer]

Does anybody know what happened with  Endrick at Lyon, he was ripping it up when he joined on loan (6 month loan, ?1m fee and half his wages), I thought they'd be the toughest team we could face in the Europa League and suddenly he and they just seemed to collapse?

Not sure they really collapsed?

In Ligue 1 they actually finished with 13 points from their last six games, and finished 4th.

In the Europa League last 16, they drew the first leg 1-1 away against Celta (Endrick scored), before losing 2-0 at home in the second leg.

Endrick finished with 5 goals (xG 6.56) and 7 assists (xA 3.23) from 1,222 minutes, including 16 starts. He also managed to get himself sent off for two yellows against Nantes.

I can only see us bringing in a forward player if at least one of Bailey, Guessand or Abraham moves on.

Endrick on the right SJM in the 10 whilst Manzambi is crocked, and Buendia on the left?

What in McGrath?s name is an xA?? Game?s gone. Properly gone. Never to return

xA is 5 steps down from xG.

Never mind up the ladder to the roof where we will be closer to heaven, there are ever more depths to be plumbed.

By 2050 all PL games will be AI virtual simulations based purely on statistical data.

🚨 NEW: Rangers are chasing Aston Villa right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic (20) ? they?re weighing up a cash deal, but a loan with option to buy is also a possibility.

Endrick seems unlikely. But from what I?ve seen he would be tactically similar to Diaby.

[eamonn]

Bardell has Ned as solid back-up for Cash. Who's gonna break it to him...

[Steve67]

Rangers will be good for him, that?s his level. He isn?t a good enough defender at Premier League level.
