Winter Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025/2026

[Somerset Fulham]

Sky just reported that Rosenior is expected in London tomorrow to interview for the Chelsea job.

I guess that is kind of a relief, I feel sorry for the lad already though.

He might not be signed up by the time we win on Wednesday!

Many P.L. clubs and others across Europe will be on the look out for strikers come the summer. If we wait to see who is available, we may well find we are not, as we seem to be currently, the only suitors for Pepi - nor any other striker on our list of top targets. It's a gamble whichever way we do it, of course, but if we sign him now, at least we can be sure he will get a full pre-season.

I don't personally have an opinion on Pepi yet but agree with this

[WolverineFFC]

If Beto is in the conversation then majority of championship forwards should be under consideration.

No doubt. I'd rather have Vinicius and his karate chopping back tbh. He'd cost less and probably score at the same rate.

Obligatory

Looks a menace from his reel but admittedly don't know alot about him.
Seems strong , tenacious, good range of passing , seems very adept at drilling direct cutting asses both in behind lines and over the top. Good box to box vibes

Gather the rumour is from the same source that broke Fulhams interest in romulo first

Edit* wait...this was the lad at Norwich not all that long ago!

Dug out a Reddit thread from before he moved to galatasaray https://www.reddit.com/r/NorwichCity/s/Amm0smXSUO

I really wanted Sara 18 months ago when he left Norwich (for around €20m, I believe). It's slightly pricey, but I think he would definitely be a strong addition to our midfield.

How often to players come back to the PL from Turkey? What are the player wages like there?

Gala also have financial issues I think, they've been looking at selling Osimhen in recent weeks. Quite funny given their spending spree about 6 months ago that they need to offload them all again

In that case it might be true. He was one Norwich's best players during his time there, have seen a couple times since I live there. Would definitely fit in with the Brazilian/Portuguese contingent.

Sunderland supporters think it's between us and them for Sara,
I wonder if us having Kevin and Muniz will tip the balance our way 🤔

And Silva + staff of course...and not having to live in sunderland.
Think a native speaking manager can make a big swing. Especially + were a more established team with plenty scope to become a starter. I like the look of this, let's hope it's for legs

Less flattering reviews of his current form for Gala. Seems he started very well for them but has been more inconsistent in terms of goal output recently.  Still plenty saying they rate him and it's a decent price

[Hatch007]

Some very unflattering reviews 😱

[@jolslover]

Sara would be a top signing but don't think it's realistic as not great source and he plays regularly for Champions League Galatasary

Interesting read. Suspect a lot of recency bias. 2 goals and 9 assists last season. Only 2 goal and 2 assists so far this season. 13 and 12 in the championship for Norwich's few seasons ago! His fbref stats are excellent. They don't track the Turkish league but champions league very good and Championship even better of course:

https://fbref.com/en/players/135d500d/Gabriel-Sara

Desperate for someone who progresses the ball and looks like he does that with passing and carries. Also looks like a very good set piece taker.

A lot of negative comments on that thread but these big clubs can be ridiculous with how they turn on players. Also look at the conflicting views on here for our players. Interesting as on X most were saying he is brilliant and a key player for them saying he'd cost way more. From reading this thread looks like he might actually be attainable in Jan (unlike most others) at a very reasonable price. Really like the look of this one. Here's praying if fancies the prem and London if it's true. Same guy that broke Romulo interest so hopefully is.

Maybe I'm having a "Doh" moment but who is Romulo ?

Indeed just have to look at how many of us were happy to let go of Wilson a number of times over the years only for him to go on incredible runs of form that suddenly switch people's minds on the player and the calls for contract renewals start I again. Same with bassey,Lukic and berge this year who were all very good last year but have had a patch of lesser performances and sentiment was quick to shift there too.

Will say the consistant critique between both fans has generally been that he's brilliant in some games then can go missing in another, but I suppose that's alot of players tbh.

Striker we were in for last year all summer who went to RB Leipzig romulo cordoso 7 G/A in 11 for them this season in bundesliga for those wondering)

Gala also have financial issues I think, they've been looking at selling Osimhen in recent weeks. Quite funny given their spending spree about 6 months ago that they need to offload them all again

We must go for Osimhen - with Iwobi, Bassey and Chuk it may make us a bit dependent on african players and AFCON hit, but he's got the pedigree to make it at this level, and we must stand a decent chance if they have to sell at cut-price, and with the amount of players he knows who've played for us

Troost Ekong, Aina, Bassey, Chuk, Iwobi being just five already from his national team.
