January Transfer Window 2026

I'd prefer Tarkowski had a break. When we play at home and need to be on the front foot he's become a liability.

Horses for courses, though Keane has done okay this season, still prefer Tarkowski, other defenders seem nervy alongside Keane.

Close thread - don’t think TFG trust Davey and Blank Angus after our summer business and the way Moyes has handled the incoming signings.

Why would they give them more money to waste and have young players sat on their arses getting splinters watching Dwight McNeil jog about then boot corners out the park and Michael Keane forget there is a 6 foot 4 striker standing behind him?!

What's this nickname all about?

Aside from being a top quality CEO , which is something we haven't had for decades, I'm just wondering what he's done to start getting pelters. Genuine question, I miss a lot of stuff tbf

Not as nervy as me. It's sad we are in the position of playing the least worst CB.

Chasm is such a great word. Though I heard someone pronounce it "chaz - umm" the other day and it threw me completely.

I genuinely find it hilarious when football fans complain about the performance of a CEO of a multi-million pound business on the basis that we didn't sign the players they wanted us to sign, as if that's their sole remit.

Everytime I see him he looks like he’s forgot what he came into the room for.

And it rhymes with the name of a cow.

Thank you, I’m here all week.

….his medical issues are such a shame, hopefully they are behind him.

Just play Patterson until we get a fudging RB in. JOB limits us at RB and a better centre half. Garner can’t go RB because we are to short in midfield. Rohl at RB for a full 90 won’t work.

The whole argument that playing Patterson leaves us too vulnerable defensively falls apart a bit when you realise not playing Patterson means we have to play Keane.

I think he probably plays him anyway or would he go to a back 5? As for transfers I don’t think we bring anyone in and he sees Ndiaye and Gana coming back as signings

I heard we at scouts at a recent Swansea game to watch a young lad who can play right back and central midfield. Don’t know names just that we had someone watching.

Exactly this, but people have got blinkers on with Keane, even though we know it all goes to hell at some point when he’s in the side, and it always will.

This is the same Keane who’s been, according to some “terrific”, “outstanding” and other wondrous adjectives, all because he’s not been as much as a disaster as we all feared.

Then he has his usual dreadful games but nobody seems to care or want him out the side.

It’s baffling.
