Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Footy-Vill]

Is it a case of our work for One in and One out for first team squad balance almost done.
Only 3 new players can be registered for Champs League squad
Bringing in a Champions League experienced player for remainder of season would be astute move.
Perhaps former Real Madrid man Asensio , at PSG, in on loan and Buenida Out

Or is it the 3
Philogene -  Malen
Carlos- Bade
Nedeljković - Garcia

I'm fascinated by the one in one out theory and what squad departures and arrivals will be occurring other than the above.

There's still 17 days to speculate for first team arrivals but maybe it's a total of 4 in 4 out?

I could see Gauci being loaned out and being replaced by an outfield player which make it 5 and 5 but there's not too much more to move on till summer I suspect.

I’m hoping the Loic Bade links are true. He looks fucking fantastic, Van Dyke levels.

Funnily enough, there are reports that say Liverpool viewed him as VDV's long-term replacement.

Did you know Bade was signed up at Forest but never made an appearance.
I predict he's going to be Carlos replacement

Zaha to Charlotte...really? Why aren't Prem clubs in for him?

He would have to pay UK tax on all his lovely (currently) tax-free Turkish money.

Yes. I think you’ll find most of us on here are football fans.

Denis Law has died. That’s the end of The Transfer Show on SSN then.

Great player. RIP.

Very sad news. Tremendous player. RIP.

He would have to pay UK tax on all his lovely (currently) tax-free Turkish money.

He also can't play for an English team because he has already played for two teams this season. The rule doesn't apply to the MLS because it's classed as "a single entity structured division" and therefore isn't affected by the rules.

He’s 32

He’s 32

I thought he was older than that to be honest

[AV84]

BBC gossip, by way of something called TBR football, say we're interested in Fikayo Tomori.

Not exactly James Milner territory. Wilf's built like an ox.

[ozzjim]

I like Tomori but he's far too much like a not quite as good version of Konsa. We need a better version of Mings to replace Diego the hug monster.

[Tuscans]

Fabrizio just retweeted his older tweet...could be on soon.

🚨🟣🔵 Aston Villa have opened talks with Sevilla for Loïc Badé as concrete option and target.

Discussions started to explore January move, as L’Équipé reported. He’s high on Villa list for both Monchi and Unai Emery.

[ozzjim]

Anyone seen much of Bade for Sevilla? At least we've gone out and filled the holes that needed to be plugged this window sensibly so far. I'd still like a proper 10 if Buendia goes but I'm guessing most of the summer budget will go on that. I could see us putting a cheeky loan offer in for Felix still.
