🌞Summer Silly Season Transfer thread 2026

[3 pigs]

West Ham reported to have submitted a £15m bid for Troy Parrot.
16 goals last season for AZ Alkmaar in 28 games.

Looks a bargain in today's market. We need competition up front and sadly Rodrigo hasn't measured up.

Assuming Muniz stays we have Garcia, him and Kusi-Asare competing up front. There are more pressing areas of the squad to spend £15m on.

We bought Garcia for a significant amount and already signed up JKA to a permanent deal, we aren't gonna spend out on another striker this Summer. Parrot flatters to deceive for me, if people weren't impressed enough by Pepi's scoring record on eredivisie then not sure how many would be excited by Troy, who isn't close to that goalscoring level and feels very championship/low prem to me. No more tested in a decent league than Muniz who has at least had an impressive scoring record per 90 in the best league in the world (particuarly in seasons he hasn't been injured.)

Also sounds like Ait Boudlal remains main CB target. Bah more a back up potentially but expect to go to europe

Agree with you on Parrott. I watched him on loan at PNE and he was poor most of the time. He's had a purple patch with Ireland but for me he's not Prem standard

Bardghji out with another potentially serious knee injury. Injured in träning apparently

Yeah I think best steer clear of this one. Clearly hugely talented but also a tad overhyped (his first name probably doesn't help), and getting serious injuries early in his career is usually a bad sign.

Thats a shame, sounds like possible ACL.

Nwaneri please. Otherwise seemingly sounds like a move for someone like Kebbal might be another alternative

I would be surprised if Alkmaar accept £15M. He may be less of a bargain once the asking price is reached.

I see Palace are shipping out Brennan Johnson just six months after having signed him for £35M. As far As I can see, they've arranged a straight swap with Everton for Dwight McNeil - a player Palace had lined up for £20M last January only for the move to fall through due to paperwork not being submitted in time. In effect, therefore, Palace are taking a £15M hit on Johnson. I'm relating this because there are times on this forum where our transfer dealings are compared disparagingly to the likes of Palace. But no club gets it right every time. I think sometimes that gets overlooked.

This is such a bizarre transfer. Feels like a PSR move tbh.

Both Palace and Everton haven't been great at transfers for a while now.

Would anybody take a chance on Jadon sancho or is his career over already

He's finished. From what I hear he's off to Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

I would, worth a punt definitely on a free. Only 26 and I think there is a player in there.
In his prime he was one of the best wingers in Europe.

That was 6 years ago, he no longer has the physical ability or commitment to perform at the top level.

We could get Dele Ali in as well as he was class once too!

Obviously completely different, last season Sancho was a regular for a Villa team that finished 4th whereas Ali hasn't played in over a year.

You're saying he's finished but he's only 26 and last year was a regular for a Champions League Side.

On a free (wages dependent) I think he would be a good pickup for us. Similar Situ to Lingard at West Ham

I think Everton have a decent midfield, picking up Hackney, Dewsbury-Hall and Nørgaard in the last 2 seasons for decent prices. Solid players.

Firstly, they were in the Europa League, not the Champions League.

Secondly, he got zero goals and two assists in the league, and one goal and one assist in the Europa League.

Thirdly, he played an average of 43 minutes per game.

Fourthly, if he was still good enough and had made an impression, Villa would have picked him up.

I get that on a free it COULD make sense, but I just don't really want us handing out contracts to players on the basis of a couple of good seasons 6-7 years ago. Especially if he's on big wages.
