Realistic Transfer Targets (2025/26)

[Guest]

Would embolo be a good Wilson replacement?

Embolo and zakaria both Monaco players. Mitchell history at Monaco. Two good squad players.

Neither are coming here to sit on the bench, embolo was injured ages wasn't he? 

[Sibierski]

Overall, I’d hope we a bit more advanced than just signing players from his ex clubs. That’s the Chelsea model. 

 

Should be, been involved in the game for a while, wide database, contacts and using them to get ahead of the game for targets.

Olmo is superb, seems to be that sort of late bloomer kind of character who will hit his peak at 28. Trouble is that we already have our own "quarterback" player in Bruno, it'd be dificult to play both of them in the same team.

City play KDB, Foden and Silva in the same team. I’m pretty sure he is more than compatible of excelling in our set up.

That Turkish left back - shades of Tino about him 

[Geordie_once_removed]

Yilmaz the Turkish right winger looks pretty rapid and aggressive. Two traits Howe loves.

[mighty__mag]

Yeah both Yilmaz and Kadioglu

Unfortunately the 3rd trait he shows is being forrin and, according to some diddlywacks on here, that's a no-no for Eddie Farage

Karim Konate? 20. Top scorer in Austria with 20 goals. Salzburg have had some of the top players pass through there in recent times. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

After a quick Dennis Wise scout, would sign.

Built like a brick shithouse in FIFA, so it’s a yes for me.

RB Salzburg are a bit problematic when it comes to their strikers, particularly the more diminutive ones.

 

Their system is a diamond with two upfront that I think is a club system/philosophy or whatever, because it's a lineup they seem committed to.

 

The strikers end up running the channels either side and grow quite accustomed to being in a pair, and so the smaller ones in particular struggle to adjust as a lone striker in bigger leagues, which they usually have to be. And so they end up getting put out wide and having to adjust to that.

 

Adeyemi and Okafor were a great pairing at Salzburg, but have both struggled to make the adjustment to having to play out wide since they left.

 

Konate looks like he might end up in a similar kind of situation.

If rumours are true and Sancho is available for 40 million is he worth a shout? Was decent for Dortmund last season.

I think he'd be excellent here, but I don't think we'd interested. Could see him at West Ham if Bowen leaves

[Ankles Bennett]

Danni  Olmo for me!!

[Sibierski]

Gabri Vega. Use the Saudi connection to get a favourable deal and get him back in Europe. Wasted talent going out there, who’s all the bit the player Olmo is.

Yes asm and Henderson and others have shown that a one year exit is more than doable

Loan with an option for next summer would be ideal.

[WilliamPS]

Think of the attitude he must have though, to cash out at 30 is one thing, to cash out at like 21 is another.

 

Does he have the hunger to win stuff and be the best player he can be?

[joeyt]

Wonder if Gabriel Sara is an option from Norwich

[Sibierski]

Zubimendi for that deep CM role.

Made Rice look like a cart horse in comparison Rolls Royce of a midfielder.

[andyc35i]

That’s harsh on Rice. He’s really underrated as an England player it seems. He had to cover the entire midfield with no real help from Mainoo. 
 

But point taken, I think we need someone of Zubimendi’s quality to sit in there for us
