January Transfer Window 2026

[Nymzee]

So, now that half a season has almost passed, does everyone else agree it was a bad move to not improve at right back? Or should we play another non-RB there?

Who ever said it wasn’t a bad move in the Summer?

My problem with Robinson is he literally is an academy graduate and we should have had the best years of his career here. Hes 29 next season.

We dropped the ball on him or rather Brands did.

We shouldn’t compound the error, we move on.

Also he's been incapacitated for the past six months with a knee injury other than featuring in brief cameos before becoming unfit again

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Robinson from Fulham for a nominal fee or loan with option would be solid.

See if he is over his injury and up to speed, when he was fit he was exactly the type of full back needed to thrive in a Moyes team.

He would offer Jack a lot more space and a genuine option. Whilst removing the second man which is always marking him.

Loan with an option, albeit a higher fee is what I’d look towards.

That seems unlikely. Robinson is contracted till summer 2028 and rumoured to cost £25m

Who ever said it wasn’t a bad move in the Summer?

A lot of people in the transfer thread that claimed it wasn't a priority at all and we were fine with a CB and CM playing there, and Coleman "filling in" too.

 

[Neiler]

Think what everyone is trying to say here is they are just really missing Ashley Young.

 

[mccole]

How much do you think quality RBs and DMs cost?

It's the million dollar question.

Personally I would put Garner in there and go balls to the wall for Mainoo at Man U or Kone at Roma but that's pie in the sky.

Defensive Midfielder -

Samu Costa - Mallorca


Quinten Timber - Feyenoord


Morten Frendrup - Genoa


All three very modern and mobile defensive midfielders. Timber has a bit more glam to him due to his brother at Arsenal and on a free in the summer so could be a good option in January.

Budget - £20-30m

Right Backs -

Zakaria El Ouahdi - Genk


Juanlu Sanchez - Seville


Emil Holm - Genoa


Arnau Martínez - Girona


Very highly scouted players who will have plenty of opportunities bar Holm who is under the radar so we would have to move in January because these will make that leap especially Martinez.

Budget - £20-30m

Think you'd have to show me this.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Kobbie Mainoo supposed to be available in Jan, will Moyes be able to resist going to the old well of Utd cast offs?

 

[joebocop]

It’s mad isn’t it. Neville, Heitinga, Holgate, Godfrey, O’Brien, Garner.. we have a long history of ‘they can do a job at right back’ rather than cover it sufficiently.

I wouldn't include Neville in those. The issue with him was more 'he can do a job at centre mid'. Always thought he would have been a fine right back but we ended up playing him centre mid all the time.

 

[Nymzee]

Mainoo is absolutely wank.

The 'quality' DM there is Frendrup and Im not sure he'd cost £20-30mil.

Not really fussed on those right backs either (Sanchez probably never under Moyes) with Holm playing for Bologna not Genoa btw.

Arnau Martinez was really highly rated a couple of years ago but never got a move.

 

[Zatara]

Kobbie Mainoo supposed to be available in Jan, will Moyes be able to resist going to the old well of Utd cast offs?

Mainoo is a real enigma. Came in and was touted like a star, got in the england team and had the world at his feet.

Then dropped. Suddenly no one knows his best position.

Its all a bit odd.

Big money Mainoo when we should be trying to bring through a 19 year old midfielder next season would be absolutely brain-meltingly weird

A lot of people in the transfer thread that claimed it wasn't a priority at all and we were fine with a CB and CM playing there, and Coleman "filling in" too.

Well that was true, it was not a priority as we had lots of other issues, and we needed to spend in other areas.

Nobody said they was happy with that, just that we understood the situation, and we are not in a position to improve every position at once.
