January Transfer Window 2026

Neiler said:
I think they tried to spin a lot of plates in the summer and plan for the medium and long term, i think we were perhaps over confident and had our cough softened by our top targets and that limited us. I think they wanted players 23/24 - when that didnt happen, they had to change midstream and go for teenagers in Dibling and Aznou for example.

Im not totally unaware that our reputation was in the toilet following the Moshiri years, so i dont think we were that attractive to targets.

We need to learn from that in future windows.

I think if you have long term plan and you execute it, you have to back - elsewise what's the point - so id back the likes of Dibling, Rohl, Aznou and Barry for sure.

I see a couple of loans this window mate. If im honest im not a huge fan of permanent signings in Jan.

It was a weird summer:
McGinn & Webster would have been high wages for ageing players with zero resale.

Ramsey, Tete & of course Rohl were injury prone players that Moyes specifically said he wouldnt go for, "robust" players apparently.

How these targets morphed into Dibling and Aznou is pure good fortune.

Mcginn, tete, and ramsey would all have been very good for us. Ramsey hasn't broken inti Newcastle but he was great for villa and young.

They may have been great for a season, but youre stuck with them for 4 or 5 seasons with no resale value.

Plus you pay big wages and fees out for the pleasure.

Sorry but this time even you have to remove "Data" from the factor of retaining players, we have coached and watched these lads for years..

I dont think our team needs data to show their attributes, or they would have picked up on gana having a pooh season..

I'm not saying they did use data in this instance, I have no idea, but that's actually quite a good scenario to be using it - clubs will have access to very in depth physical data which would be helpful in predicting exactly how they are ageing...that's a very difficult science though and I actually think Gana has clearly started to decline since last season so not sure it worked haha!

He signed both Soucek and of course Arteta in Jan windows. Both loans with options.

I expect he'll be after 2 loan players and a right back permanent deal.



Agreed & the world cup is interesting.

The 2 moroccan right backs weve been linked with are not going to AFCON so i imagine they may feel that starting in the premier league gives them more exposure.

Also players at top teams may want to loan one or two out.

We do have new staff as well so perhaps there may be some players that City were watching,or in their youth teams we may move for.

It will be difficult, if not impossible for any Moroccan player to get ahead of hakimi for that rb position...

The famous "premier league experience" that they like so much...but at pl cost. If you bring pl player, then it has to be someone from one of the big boys, not leeds united. I am sure anyhow there is no way they would sell him to us unless we pay a ridiculous fee.

With the Leeds staff and this link hopefully its just poor journalism and laziness.

Sure but they normally bring 2. Looks like Hakimi & Mazraoui going but they have a chap called Chibi who seems like a nothing player at Pyramids FC in Egypt unless transfetmarkt has been hacked lol
