January Transfer Window 2026

[windymiller]

He tired his “ Big Lie “ line with the squad, but no one bit, so this is he latest one

Using the MAGA phrase "The Big Lie" is a new low but I reckon he can get lower.

 

[nonstripdzebra]

Personally I hope for two additions but if its one permanent at either RB or LB and two loans on whatever fullback is not covered and at Striker, ill live. January is often inflated and the club did have a big outlay in the Summer. I think the loan market should be far more bustling considering its a WC year than usual. But I would really only use the loan market at striker as I don't want the club rushing into filling that position, or pay the 25% tax that comes with doing business in the winter. At the position with the biggest price inflation to begin with.

I would second though maybe looking at CDM now as we'd have some breathing room with Gueye still in the side. We may be able to buy someone a little rawer with the hopes of embedding later if we do it now oppose to the summer.

arsenal have eze saka martinelli trossard madueke nwaneri and that wonderkid to all play on the wing

why theyd want to spend more money on ndiaye when they can’t seem to keep their centre backs fit, or get a consistent goal scorer in is beyond me

Chilwell is finished mate

Perfect. 3 y with an option of 4

Using the MAGA phrase "The Big Lie" is a new low but I reckon he can get lower.

I dunno, yesterday he completely seriously suggested playing Michael Keane up front. Not only that, but Moyes apparently is an idiot for not playing him there. When questioned on why no other manager including Dyche had ever played him up front, he predictably exited the debate.

 

[catcherintherye]

It's highly unlikely you can get the replacements you want in a January window so the timing would be wrong. I've no issue selling in the summer if a very high offer comes in but strongly disagree late in January after Ndiaye comes back from AFCON.

It's not a position I see Arsenal strengthening any way. They have Martinelli already who can't get a game.

Is Martinelli that good? Like better than Ndiaye?

 

[Zatara]

none, but would say the same for all our players bar branthwaite pickford ndiaye and grealish

i could see gana kdh and garner all starting for mid table to european pushing sides

i don’t think mykolenko or obrien start at full back for any other side in the league

I think thats key. If there is a top player who is gettable for the right fee (which is what Moyes & Kinnear have said) then we'll move on them.

I dont think it necessarily prevents us signing a centre back or a central midfielder for example. If someone who can improve the 11 is available.

For me, Wolves know theyre going down. Joao Gomes is a quality player and so its worth an enquiry. They also have been linked to McNeil.

If theres no top players available at full back then the most we'll do is loan apparently. Even then, im concerned as its worth overpaying with full back now.

So many quality players were available the last 2 windows. Not so much now it seems.

Would Chilwell take a loan to try and get into Tuchel’s line of sight for the World Cup? Would give us more depth at left back than Aznou is providing.

wow, hes in strasbourg absolutely struggling but talking about sticking it to the man by making some kind of come back

its all very partridge

plus hes too upper class, sport science degree at loughborough , cheeky nandos vibes to make it at everton

 

[DanEFC92]

I don’t think this means anything at all to be fair.

It doesn't but I want to feel something

 

[Miked1e]

Just checked in to Carden park and met Michael Keanes twin brother…. Will. Didn’t realise they were brothers.

Anyway, now on the hunt to find Armstrong to ask when he is coming back.

PNE team are here before their Wrexham game.

Gana would be replaced by Iroegbunam. I wouldnt say either is a CDM as they both go to the ball rather than hold a 6 position to anchor the midfield.

As you suggest, players can be more expensive in January. Beto, McNeil and Patterson should be moved on.

A right back who is either top class or has superstar potential is needed - we need 2 right backs and we have to at least bring in one.

arsenal have eze saka martinelli trossard madueke nwaneri and that wonderkid to all play on the wing

why theyd want to spend more money on ndiaye when they can’t seem to keep their centre backs fit, or get a consistent goal scorer in is beyond me

Eze, Saka & Madueke are their main 3

Trossard - been linked with a move end of the season when he'll have a year on his deal

Martinelli - Been mentioned as one who may be sold (ive always thought hes underrated).

Nwaneri - rumoured as someone who could benefit with a couple of seasons loans soon. Massive drop off in mins from last season.

I dont see us selling Ndiaye in January.

I also think Arteta will want to keep his squad together until the summer.

However, if there was ever a world where Arsenal offered us Nwaneri &/or Lewis-Skelly as part of a deal for Ndiaye...you'd have to take it.

 

[Simon Buttle]

We are not really defensively solid nor organised going forward atm.

 

[RichCee123]

Have we even been linked with anyone

A couple of wingers from Leeds and a right back from Roma, I think. Maybe getting a teenager from Preston too who used to play for us

 

[Bob Elstone]

We know how this ends.

Window opens we keep refreshing.

Moyes goes with what he’s got. Blames the market.

 

[Bristol Blue]

What a beaut
