The 2025-26 Summer Transfer Window Thread

We need another option to rest/rotate Milo

Bindon could be the alternative for Murillo

We need a new backup keeper. Miguel needs a loan out or moving on.

We need another MGW

Another Wood

Tie up Aina

2 new wingers ?

2 new cover full backs?

6 to 8 new signings better than we have

To provide a European squad we can rotate

Maybe we can bring 30m to 50m in moving players on we improve on

Got to be spending 150m approx on top if we are really serious spread over a few years to make psr work?

And to be able to rotate a squad and still compete every game

Certainly two new FBs and two new wingers. Quality. As in "does Elanga get to start all the time?" Quality.

Bindon comes in for CB but probably need one more player for cover if Boly leaves.

Really we need some real quality in CM. Douglas Luiz style quality.

Back up keeper.

Viable striker

The MGW replacement you may get away with by changing formation if he gets injured. Can't do everything

And all that is assuming no sales, which is unlikely to be the case

If we make CL then no sales other than players we want to improve on is very possible imo

Nobody would be looking to miss out on next seasons vibes at wfcg

Where else would they want to be?
 
For the first time since 2019, we 100% know what division we are going to be in next season.
Yeah Isn't it great Pope & in theory should make it much easier for the recruitment team who have had & will have plenty of time to hatch their plans for this summer, be nice if they could unearth a couple of gems like Milenkovic
 
Murillo might fancy Real Madrid, and they may fancy him
If Madrid can offer 100m, then we have an issue, but I dont think they will ...

GK - Would we just keep Turner as a back up, or will he want out in WC year?If he walks, I'd buy a back up

FB's - Need a starting LB calibre and a back up RB.

CB's - Bindon and Carmo come in. If Carmo goes on loan again, but another to rotate Milo.

Mid - Agree we need a top starting 6.

Wingers - 1 quality winger who is first 11 ready. Choose between Jota and Sosa who stays as 4th choice

CF - Need 2 CF's. I hope we grab this Oly prospect and a top striker to really challenge Wood

Sales / Out of Contract - Turner if we dont keep him, Boly, Oma, Toffolo, Richards, Dennis, Bowler, Sosa or Jota, Taiwo, possibly Sangare or Dom/Danilo

To potentially come in - Bindon, Carmo, Stamenic, Ndala

Incoming new players - Max of 8. With Bindon being 9.

Outgoing - 11 or 12

Uh oh the Finbar summer list has happened already.
 
Don't think either jota or sosa give us enough to be part of an improved squad next season.

We already weaken ourselves when they come on with this squad let alone with an improved squad
If I was a very quick, talented young winger I'd be begging to get a transfer to Forest, if we get in the CL especially.
We're a winger's dream, this side.

Which is why I think we can only afford 1 winger, and the other 4th choice option is Sosa or Jota?

Bakayoku? Henrique ?
 
PSG played a false 9 v Liverpool. Despite Liverpool having played Firmino for many years in a similar position and having played Diaz and Curtis in the same system this year, they were all at sea when trying to manage it themselves. Dembele gave PSG the extra midfielder to nullify the Liverpool midfield and then popped up between VVD and Konate to provide problems in penalty area. They played same system in Paris so no surprise. PSG better team in both games.

Do Forest have someone who can play false 9. Means we have an option of a different way of playing. Confused the best team in the land.

MGW, Anderson or maybe Elanga?

Anderson has said he wants to be our number 6

I assume he wants to be our starting 6

Lot of talk about him in Nunos press conference today
 
What happened to the croatian midfielder we bought. Has he had a decent season with OLY?
