January Transfer Window 2026

[MACCA75]

I still see no evidence that the scouting department are suggesting and identifying the right players. It doesn't matter who the manager is until we are able to identify good players at affordable prices.

Yep. We either need to uncover some gems or we need to pay more wages to attract quality players. Probably both.

We don’t appear to have done either.

Our transfer team is like a Stealth bomber wearing a cloak and dagger.
We will swoop under cover and nobody will know
Mystery surrounds our moves.
Just like Harry Catterick and Donald Trump

Don’t want him to leave but won’t play him unless every single alternative is injured.

Send him to Forest . Dychie will sort him out...

 

[lungo]

£100 million on Dibling, Aznou, Rohl and Barry.

Honestly it’s gonna go down alongside some of the shocking windows under Moshiri.

The only one you can say is a footballer is Dibbling. He is only 19 and plays in a team with no midfield and no full back.

 

[lungo]

Maybe there's a clause in Coleman's contract that stipulates we can't sign a genuine right back until he decides to retire in 2029.

Not 2029! In 2030 there is a world cup and Coleman wants to play that one.

No idea why you think Thelwell is so good. Had to take a big step down from Everton and bombed so spectacularly he was booted out inside 6 months.

The guy is finished at the top level. Was out of his depth in truth.

Not a fan of Ndiaye?
Not seeing Onana at Villa?
Dont rate Garner?
Tarkowski on a free...

Ok buddy

There is no source. The reality is nobody on the outside knows exactly what goes on with transfers.

Boyland &/or Joyce for both.

Think ive been saying this since it happened. First the dodgy sites and then the athletic and or Joyce.

Wesley and Truffert.

Now do Beto, Chermiti, Harrison, Lindstrom, Danjuma,Maupay and McNeil.

All that lacks context of course as it’s all about creating a balanced squad capable of scoring goals (which we didn’t have).

Thelwell was Meh. And if he’s actually really good then he’ll end up at a top club. (Spoiler, he won’t).

@MACCA75 just on AI google search

Bournemouth signed Truffert for an initial fee of around £10.1m, with add-ons potentially reaching £14.3m. It is understood they want to keep him, but interest from other clubs, including potential speculation linked to Everton via Paul Joyce's reports, has been noted in transfer rumours.

@HKContractDave posted this in the Jan 2025 transfer thread since confirmed by both Joyce & Boyland

Just read in Paddy Boyland's earlier article that along with Rennes’ Adrien Truffert, Wesley Franca (Right Back) of Flamengo was also tracked





Again, both Truffert & Wesley were in talks with Thelwell. Moyes came in and cancelled everything 12months ago apart from the loan of Alcaraz.

Harrison & Lindstrom loans?hahahaha

Chermiti took a small loss on after a bad injury when all accounts said he looked good beforehand in preseason

Maupay its been stated by Bobble and others that he was not signed by Thelwell.

McNeil did a job for us paying on the drip.

Beto was zero money down and if DCL had got another injury we'd have had no forwards.

Does it say that Moyes came in and cancelled everything? Or did you make that up? Genuine question as I can’t read the article.

Look if you want to hang your hat on Thelwell rocking up at Real Madrid or something, then you go for it fella.

He was on the list though Zat so we had been watching him.

It does when you have no money for a 1st payment immediately!!! Who sells their top scorer for that?

If we had gone into the season and DCL had another injury you would have been complaining.

I remember it was after this that one or both of those 2 and possibly Bobble as well said that Moyes had cancelled the transfers.

Obviously you can see that Thelwell was in talks (as i said) with both players (as i said). Theyve since gone elsewhere for a lower fee with Truffert & a similar fee with Wesley.

I took an interest as id mentioned both players in here before the links - in the case of Truffert much earlier and Wesley maybe just before the links.

It seems clear to me that we were in talks for both through Thelwell.

Moyes came in.

Truffert signed for Bournemouth £11.4mil + £3mil add ons.

Wesley didnt move until the summer.

 

[Zatara]

Im sure there were plenty of low cost players on lists back then.

Hes basically another Cenk Tosun.
