January Transfer Window 2026

[MikeH72]

Almost certainly not, but we still need a competitive squad. We are a couple of injuries/suspensions away from looking like a bit of a joke.

(Garner and Tarks on 4 bookings now)

We could lose the next 2 games and still wouldn’t be close to the relegation zone. We literally need 4 more wins to be safe, even the most aggressive relegation battle fetishist will struggle to concoct a scenario where we don’t win 4 of our remaining 21 games.

We will stay up mate, the point is we need a player or two in January.

We really do, not to avoid relegation, but to secure a top half finish. That’s the aim now.

I think you`re giving quite a few posters on here way too much credit.

I saw one post the other day, saying that the bottom three are starting to catch up on us and we were starting to look over our shoulders !!!!!

I mean ffs, Wolves are 22 POINTS adrift of us

Also remember, according to the Brains Trust on here, it`s not that long ago, that the mighty Luton were going to send us down that season to

As it currently stands, with our lack of a functioning striker and right back, we`re exactly were we should be.

Fix that and things may well be different, but up until then, in or around mid table.

Everton does drill that pessimism into you

What I will say though, it’s a very tight league this year. 8 points between 7th and 17th isn’t normal at this point.

There are a couple of people on here who I suspect are playfully trolling (@Victus), a couple who I suspect actually enjoy relegation battles and want to live in them forever (@14_dollars and all the Dychettes) and then the remaining 99.6% of the forum who just observe reality.

As long as I live, I`ll never forget the crazed feeding frenzy on here that went on over the mighty Luton

Best football related night on here of all time was that Bournemouth game where they were 3-0 up and lost 4-3.

Apparently West ham is trying to make moves to sign strand Larsen from Wolves , other clubs are supposedly linked. I think he could be potentially a relatively affordable option for a player who has shown that he is capable of scoring goals along as his price tag isn't absurd

I agree but only if the are truly first XI starters that a European chasing team would have. I am only expecting loans if I am honest. Next summer though … different gravy

60m clause i think.
Though that will drop in summer

He’s been poor this year, I think it will be a big gamble.

Haven't seen him at all this year, looked like a player that would fit perfectly last season but something has changed, wether that's him or just Wolves, not sure..

Same amount of PL goals as Barry this season.
