Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread

[stubbo-admin]

Well seems like with all these international breaks, and us languishing, the rumours of ins and outs are rife.

Chuck anything 'worthy' of discussion on this thread...

--------------

Incomings:

Pablo Felipe - €21m + €3m (Gil Vicente) | Forward
Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos - €26m + €4m (Lazio) | Forward
Adama Traore - £2m + £1m if stay up (Fulham) | Forward
Axel Disasi - Loan (Chelsea) | Centre Back
Keiber Lamadrid - £150k + £1m option | Attacking Mid

Outgoings:

Nicolas Füllkrug - 6 months loan (AC Milan)
Luis Guilherme - £17m + Sell On % (Sporting Lisbon)
George Earthy - 6 months loan (Bristol City)
Callum Marshall - 6 months loan (Bochum)
Andy Irving - 1.5m (Sparta Prague)
Guido Rodriguez - Undisclosed (Valencia)
Igor Julio - Loan Cancelled (Brighton)
James Ward Prowse - 6 months loan (Burnley)
Lucas Paqueta - £36.5m + Buy Back Clause (Flamengo)

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Traore scored 14 times in 201 games for Wolves. That is cart-horse behaviour for a forward, right up our street.  

 

[Massive Attack]

Head down merchant who'd be better suited to doing Decathlons. Don't want the donkey.

Giminez however?? Too fucking right I'd have him here over the carthorse. Can't see that happening at all.

[goose]

Lot of talk about Traore, not everyone’s cup of tea but I love the way he plays.

Talk today of a swap involving Fullkrug & Giminez with Milan.

Centre back is priority after a CF.

[Sweep]

Got to be a youngish, physical centre forward who isn't perma-crocked near the top of the ins.

Wonder if they'll ship Guilherme - been here 18 months come January, not showing much sign of breaking through.

Suspect  someone will come in for Paqueta now the betting stuff is done. Ruben Neves is one of the more obvious 2+2 bets to turn up.

[Eerie Decent]

Fuck getting the 'right' money now, Paqueta is the key to us staying up, which is the money we should be concentrating on rather than a poxy transfer fee.

[Iron Duke]

Paqueta will stay until the summer.

[Massive Attack]

It's more about getting good money in for him if we can. I wouldn't be against him remaining till the summer then sell him. With rumours often circulating around him looking to leave, that's also part of the equation for me. If he really wants out then more than happy to allow it for the right price. I just want to avoid a repeat of being able to sell him for good money only for it to fall through and left to pick up the pieces again. 

[stubbo-admin]

IMO selling Paqueta would be mental. He's been intrinsic to all three of our wins this year.

The others....totally on board with that.

[Massive Attack]

Like I wanted us to do in the Summer before the window closed I still want us to shift Paqueta, Fullkrug, Irving, Ward-Prowse, Rodriguez. That way we should get a fair chunk of wages off the wage bill but also a fair chunk of change too in transfer fees. 

Paqueta - Around £25M
Fullkrug - Around £10M
Ward-Prowse - Around 5M
​​​​​Irving - Around £5M
Rodriguez - Packet of gobstoppers if we are lucky 

Something towards £50M should be generated from that lot. 

[Mike Oxsaw]

If we're gonna play silly buggers, Declan Rice back on a Bosman.

[Lee Trundle]

A centre back to replace Kilman, please.

And a striker (just like every single transfer window from the day dot).

Here's a few to get the Thread rolling:

MINGUEZA, lots of people stating this player is rubber stamped for WH

This is NOT the case, at this time, Villa, lead the way Newcastle and Sunderland are interested

WH havnt as yet made an offer, other targets are now taking the interest

 

10 Nov 2025 17:17:26
WH have been offered DISASI. From Chelsea, loan with mandatory buy, don’t think WH are that Keen, don’t think he’s what there looking for?

 

09 Nov 2025 21:36:19
WH in talks today, once again for hotshot attack mdf SAIBARI from PSV

This will be no cheap purchase, should WH be successful

But we need people who know where the goal is and can also play just behind strikers

 

09 Nov 2025 11:19:16
CLUB AMERICA. Now in talks with Guido Rodriguez 2/3 year deal, Player trying to sort out his exit from WH, Mexican side offer 25 k a week, long way down from 75k, a week

Rodriguez wants half of his yearly salary to say goodbye £ 1 .875 m


WH think half that more than enough, to terminate contract

Two other sides are interested. But the player would like to go to Mexico or Spain as preferred destinations

 

07 Nov 2025 11:00:54
WH trying to lure TYRIQUE GEORGE from Chelsea

 

06 Nov 2025 16:52:13
LUCAS STASSIN! WH now being asked nearly double the price, that they could have obtained him for last year

Only have themselves to blame He was up to signing for WH

QUENTIN TIMBER, WH don't want to pay a fee, but will consider taking him on a free, should they remain in premier league

BISSEK, WH want him BUT finding it very difficult to persuade, the player in our current position

[RBshorty]

Paqueta back to Brazil £20-30 million.
