Winter Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025/2026

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.

No chance id assume

Champs league clubs will for sure go for him if a cut price deal available

Munich , Madrid , utd , Liverpool, psg all linked within the last year . Would be very very suprised if we stood any chance

They want north of £60m and he'd probably only leave for CL club given he's that good. Unfortunately we're a bit of a step down for him at the moment, even if we already have several of his international squad mates at our club

If we're going to sign another Nigerian player I do like the look of Tolu Arokodare at Wolves, big lad and a real handful and creates the space for Mane to play in, I can't see him being at Wolves for much longer.

Someone was suggesting him here in the summer


1 g/a in 16 not really screaming out what we need imo. We need a finisher more than we need a second striker I think. He's definately an athletic specimen but prefer the idea of a Pepi type personally. If we want to try playing up to a tall guy would rather we give more minutes to JKA to see if he's worth signing in the summer on a decent fee (rumoured 12m)

[FFC1987]

Appreciate the optimism General, but ain't no way ever we sign Osimhen currently. 1. Wages....he's on estimations of upwards of £325k a week. 2. Way out of our league. He's only going to CL pedigree clubs. 3. Unless we sell Muniz for big money, we couldn't afford his transfer fee let alone his contract + fee demands. Chelsea balked at his demands hence ending up at Gala......which was also considered as a drop down from his quality levels.

Wonder if we'll be one of these teams interested;

It's okay, we can get him when he's in tut twilight of his career when he's already won nothing

Not sure that's the profile we need. The Atta rumour made way more sense, unless the Berge to Juventus rumours that appeared recently had legs.

Only if he can arrow one in from 30 yards v Liverpool.

Well we don't really have a proper PL standard enforcer style DM anymore as I thing Berge is more of a playmaker #6 and Lukic does better in a more box to box role. Reed is the backup DM and lets be honest, he might've scored a screamer yesterday but he's not a PL DM so we do need one

More altimara rumours https://x.com/i/status/2008488264240689228

Obligatory

[Deadcowboys]

We can be linked with as many players as you like, but we still seem a mile away from signing anyone.

[hopper]

So many links coming through from fairly unknown or unreliable sources that I'm struggling to know which midfield link to pay attention to. Hopefully we can get some players in. Seems to have gone quiet on Adama to West Ham.

[demeant0r]

If Betis are looking at Alex Toth as the replacement, why don't we just get Alex Toth?

Cos maybe he's not as good or what we need right now? maybe he's not ready to contribute the level we need him out today. An 20 year old unproven young kid from Hungarian league who could go either way.
I'm sure there are endless instances where a player coming in to "replace" another departing doesn't end up being as good, there's never any guarantee that's how it works out.

For a random example. Why didn't we just sign Sotiris Alexandropoulos who Sporting brought in at CM the window they sold Joao Palhinha. If the answer is, who? ...correct.

Pretty silly deduction considering  the club never give any information until s deal is pretty much sealed and keep what goes on behind the scenes very close to their chest
