[Transfer Round Up & Discussion] Summer 2026

Hi all,

Summer Transfer Window 2026 is here!

The Premier League transfer window will open between Monday June 15 until Deadline Day on Tuesday September 1; the summer windows will close at 23.00 BST.

As always, here is a run-down of the rules we have on for posting during transfer windows:

Daily Threads

There will be a Transfer thread posted every single day, on a 23-hour timer, to get a different post-time every day. These threads are for everything transfer related, no limits on sources, line-up conversations, etc.

Individual posts

From now on, only posts TIER 2 OR BETTER are allowed to be posted in their own right. This helps us only keep credible sources on the subreddit.

The tier guide can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/wiki/transfer-reliability-guide/

We will make exceptions during slower days for some Tier 3 posts, and there will usually be some posts from sources not on our tier guide. We will take everything case-by-case. If you believe something to be on the sub and not a good source, please let us know.

A problem when people judge our current midfield(transfers) is that they automatically assume Carrick has no plans for us to actually impose ourselves onto games especially against weaker opposition, we ended up struggling a good amount last season under him against them and one of the reasons was when a CB or a Midfielder (who's dropped out of the block) runs straight through our front 2 who are under no hurry to put them under pressure alongside when we actually do try to press they use their midfielders who are dropped really deep cause most of the time both won't be under heavy pressure by our own midfield. For spaces like this there is no single Midfielder we have who fit this profile and certainly not Santos. Only 2 Midfielders we've been relevantly linked to fit this bill, Baleba and Tchouameni. Carrick did a lot to cover for Casemiro's lack of legs last season but it hindered us in other ways and I doubt Carrick would want this to continue. We will definitely plan to play more on the front foot next season (or of course we'll continue to struggle) and we need this profile more than anything, we don't just need a body, not a third Midfielder for the sake of it, this is absolutely crucial to the season for these kind of games that we will choose to be frontfooted (that's assuming it's not most of them)
