January Transfer Window 2026


I think as weve strengthened the attacking positions the attention will now be focused on the defence.

Obviously weve signed Aznou and Mykolenko is rumoured to be getting an extension so that ticks off left back.

In the deeper central midfield, Garner is also rumoured fo be getting an extension and I think Armstrong will be competing for the same/similar next season so I dont think anything happens there.

Right back of course we have O'Brien, Coleman and Patterson so need 1 maybe 2 players there.

Centre back, Tarkoswki will be 33 in November and I believe he'll get an extension. Branthwaite of course is a starter and Keane is 2 months younger than Tarkowski and probably gets an extension too.

I expect 3 signings maximum whether 2 Right backs & 1 centre back or vice versa.

Cant see anything else and would be surprised if we made more than 1 or 2 signings in January.

In fact I think January may be a good time to move players on.
I think centre forward

I still think there will be big changes. I think we will go for a left back and right back, centre back, holding midfielder and striker and another wide/attacking player.

With a bit of luck this team could finish 8th maybe nick the conference spot, but just to add 2/3 players next summer, we will just remain in the same place or even go backwards. If the club, TFG and Moyes are serious about challenging, then we need 5/6 players and 3 or 4 starters
 

Denzel Dumfries was the first Scottish town to play in a World Cup, but three have won the F1: Eddie Irvine, Stirling Moss and Ayr town centre.
Justin Edinburgh (never an international, but you've got me thinking...)

then I've gone and cheated...

Lindsay Hamilton
Justin Edinburgh
Gary Caldwell
Steven Caldwell
Brian Irvine
Andy Stirling
Bob Paisley
Colin Sutherland
Sean Dundee
Matt Thornhill
Jimmy Johnstone

Raheem Sterling also.

There surely would have to be a number of sales to fund this.

Well there will be sales, I wouldn’t say a number, Beto, McNeil, I’d sell Myko,
Maybe we get some money for Tim. But with the first year of the new stadium and new sponsorship deals like shirt sponsorship and TFG seem
To know what they’re doing. I do think it’s possible
 

Hopefully come the turn of the year we're sitting in or around the top 7, with the board knowing that a few smart signings in January could genuinely propel us into that bracket and put us in with an amazing chance of European football next season.

A lot of it will probably come down to whether Beto and Barry convert enough of their chances, as I don't see why the attacking midfielders' supply line will dry up.

Right back, left back, striker, central midfield.

Get Iroegbunam (£5m-10m), McNeil (£10m-£15m), Mykolenko (£5m-£10m) and Patterson (£2m-£5m) offered around.
 
I think in the current market we will get more, Myko is a solid prem left back and an international. There’s left backs in the championship probably going for 10mil.
He should be minimum 20, if he’s on a new deal, McNeil With a year left 15, coujd get a little bit more in January.
 
I think Garner has gone up a level under Moyes. If he continues this level of performance he should be in the next England squad. Then next summer Armstrong is back to compete with him.

Gana It appears is going to be replaced wifh Rohl or KDH.

Cant see any big moves there, perhaps if we hadnt signed Rohl.
I will say Rohl is the big wildcard because no one really knows how he's going to be used really. Maybe worth revisiting the conversation in a few months (...in January, even!)

I still maintain that even though Garner has played well the last few games, he doesn't start for any of the sides we want to be competing with or even finishing above. And replacing Gana with either KDH or Rohl is just booting an ENORMOUS amount of ball-winning out of the side, to a degree that I'm not sure is sustainable (and I think loses KDH at his best which is linking things in the final third). All conjecture for now though tbf!

Those players are def worth more in the current market, mental as it seems. Chermiti went for 10m!
