January Transfer Window 2026

Says more about their fans than anything - he’s barely played two and a half games. If he stays fit, he’ll score goals for them.
He’s showed zero evidence of that in his career to date but I wish the lad well.

Looks talented but zero threat at all - scored for Portugal 21’s tonight though 😂.

Ha, I didn’t know I swear! I like him as a player, but fitness dodgy obviously and his character sometimes looked a bit suspect too. Think he can do well there tho - especially if they get someone like Rohl as manager.

He just never looked hungry for me, never carried a threat (Barry does look worryingly similar so far).

Talented technically but he didn’t ever seem like he’d score goals regularly.

Yeah I know what you mean about hunger, that would be my worry. For all Beto’s flaws, it’s much more forgivable when you can see that a player is giving it everything they’ve got isn’t it? Can’t get my head round Barry’s on pitch demeanour at the moment - I can’t understand why he’s not desperate to impress and bursting with energy and drive.

Very worrying with Barry. Senior pros should be taking him aside and saying to him, bare minimum at home - run.

If you do that you’ll make your own luck in front of our fans.
 

Fair point, had game time though and just never looked likely/lively.

Talented but needs to play the game like it matters.
His time here was blighted by injuries. However you don't get into the Sporting Lisbon academy if you are rubbish, its one of the best around. He clearly showed some promise in that awful preseason under Dyche where he was possibly the only positive during it then he got injured and vanished for a while. I don't by any stretch think he is the next Haaland or anything but I do think there must be something as he has show flashes but he is probably just one of these lads who needs a proper coach type who can get the best out of what he has.
 
No idea about Rangers.

What I will say is that I'm not sure Thelwell could have done too much worse than Moyes last summer.

Alcaraz was Thelwells man and hes a bargain.

Dibling was one i really wanted & Aznou looks to be a great signing on paper.

Rohl - injury prone
KDH - not a 10
Barry - Looks worse than i expected

£80mil on those 3 i reckon i could have done better with.
Narcissism at it's finest.
 

Everybody's hoped for signing, Josh Brownhill scored the equaliser for Shabab, after everybody's hoped for signing, Ivan Toney scored a penalty for his team (forgot the name, even though I only just googled it).

This has to be a wind up
 
12 games or so until the window opens.
I think Beto and Barry need to pull their fingers out to prove themselves.

I think in Barry’s case he needs to start showing a glimpse of something. I still hope a goal will completely change his mindset confidence wise.
I understand Barry has to reach a moment where he is able to demonstrate his skills or the opportunities will eventually dissipate , I also feel his teammates to find ways to incorporate him in attack. There's times even with Beto they haven't looked like they are considering providing them a solid chance at goal
