January Transfer Window 2026

[Drico]

….looking like we wasted a lot of monies in the summer, portents can’t be good if the same people are involved.

Yes, need a new manager.

What did you expect him to say?

Some rubbish about how they were signed as development players and Moyes is doing XYZ to have them open up and subsequently reach their full potential.

That they would have opportunities when Moyes sees theyre ready for their first steps. Because theyre under 25 ?

Today’s squad is not really a European place squad and I don’t see January turning us into one. I am more hopeful of the summer

Moyes has really only had one transfer window, can't expect miracles, at least we have improved. I'm sure we will get better under him and be climbing the table after another window or two.

I feel it’s a formality he will bring Armstrong back as another midfield option with KDH and gueye out - obviously short of numbers but also don’t feel Moyes trusts Alcaraz/ Rohl..even Iregbounam enough.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Why is he saying anything? I’ll judge the actions. So far, underwhelming.

As I said I think he was trying to say that the long term vision is going to require patience

Isn't that what he said in a roundabout way though?

I thought this was an absolutely bananas thing for Kinnear to say on Friday - imagine you are Dan Friedkin after sinking £139 mill in investment into players and reading this by your CEO:

"Equally, Thierno Barry, Merlin Röhl, Tyler Dibling, Charly Alcaraz and Adam Aznou may have had limited minutes as a collective thus far, but they have shown in their hard work at Finch Farm that they will have the capability to contribute at the highest level.

As we assess the principles that deliver transfer success across our competitors in this league, we consistently see the teams that can create patient player pathways outperform the average. Transitioning into the Premier League is challenging, evidenced by the fact that two-thirds of transfers fail. But when players are given time, this success rate can be improved dramatically."

We often talk about Brighton bringing through great players but a lot of them have very little game time in their first season

Exactly this, the Friedkins need to ask who is spending this money we are giving, because so far its not looking good.

Has Moyes had a big say or this Angers fella?

 

[Zatara]

Isn't that what he said in a roundabout way though?

Idk he just named two senior players unwanted at their clubs and said they were walking over broken glass to play for us.

Then he named every other signing and said that they need patience.

Theres zero context.

Moyes is the decision maker. Hammond the negotiator and Kinnear signs off.

Nah, he ain't all that tbh, and god knows what they would want for him on top of it at this time of the season.

And that is the nail on the head.

Our recruitment is criminally bad . We appear to have wasted £100 M . How much would we recoup by selling them?

Why would you trust the same team with more money?

 

[BigBeto1]

70 million pounds for Barry and Dibling. 4 Ndiayes or 1100 Coleman’s. Awful use of scarce funds

 

[MikeH72]

That reads like a statement from a CEO who's worried about his position. Although he can hardly say "In signing the above players we appear to have pissed £90 million away" I suppose.

The fella is the most obvious chancer I’ve ever seen. I was concerned when we brought him in after failing at Leeds and he’s done nothing to fill me with any confidence that he knows what he’s doing. He’s winging it, you can spot these bluffer CEO’s a mile off.
