Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

Not the case they'll probably just be lining up the players they want that are currently out of reach for one reason or another.

 

£10m for Miggy would be a very decent deal.

He's been great for the club and one of those whose attitude and workrate really helped to lift us to new levels after the takeover.

But we have already moved on in terms of quality - and sadly his legs are showing signs of going from his personal peak level. So if we can get that kind of money for him right now, then it simply has to be done.

I'd certainly wish him all the best. A fan favourite even if just for that permanent smile like he's won the lottery.

 

Agree, but I'd also add......FINALLY!

 

Or, he's got the hardest job in the world, trying to shift out players on big wages for decent money that no-one really wants. I'd like to think he's been working hard with Nixon on identifying young talent to bring in for peanuts and sell for millions in a couple of years.

 

Certainly sounds like that's been his main priority. Hopefully we'll see the rewards in a year or two, but meanwhile I'm not expecting too much in the way of big signings who will walk straight into the first team.

 

I guess the plan is to use willock and Joelinton if we lose Murphy to an injury.

Injuries could be the thing that kills our charge. Otherwise it'll keep going on an on.

 

Either would likely be more effective than Almiron has been over the last 18 months.

 

Yeah, but it's a shame they aren't able to get the right player yet.

 

Think the versatility we have across from front 6 should see us through this season. As you say Gordon, Murphy, Willock and Joelinton can play out wide (which also opens up a clearer route for Miley in CM...). Osula, Gordon, Isak all cover the striker, Miley, Longstaff, Willock backing up Joelinton, Tonali and Bruno covers the CM position.

 

The fact villa paid £19m for Malen annoys me, that is a bargain.

 

Apparently we were offered him in the summer and again this month. We turned down the opportunity twice. We're hopefully saving the pennies until we can afford something even better.

 

Ben Jacobs just been saying on a podcast that toon are only team to have thrown a concrete offer down for Mbuemo but likely to be a summer transfer.

 

I didn't even realise how good he was until I started watching him this season.

 

10 mil for Almiron.

 

Yeah, that sort of thing. Could you imagine the goal threat from a front three of Gordon, Isak and Mbeumo. And the work rate on both wings. Insanity levels.

 

Or Gordon, Isak & Cunha.
That would be exciting.

 

I think they'll be after dibling

 

Dibling and Mbeumo you say? Sounds good.

 

Seriously - Dibling is the one that is more in keeping with what they have been saying about a focus on cheaper, high ceiling players at the start of their careers.
