January Transfer Window 2026

[BigDuncTributeBand]

See we’re getting linked with Ben White. Replace one centre back playing right back with another. Classic Moyes.

Assuming you are comparing those two things because of common ownership: They're a couple of years into the Roma project and Roma are in with an outside sniff of the title. Strengthening makes sense if the owners' aim is to win trophies.

We're trundling along to a mid-table finish. Nothing we could do in this window will be seen as transformational, so we'll keep our powder dry until the Summer.

As always, not what I want to happen, just what will IMO.

I think we may still end up with a random loan this window, but I'd expect us to have targets lined up well before next season starts if we aren't signing anyone this month.

No excuse with it being a difficult market with the world cup this year too as you'd expect there'd be a number of potential prospects to be identified.

Kubo?

Yes, has a few strings to his bow apparently...

 

[TyphooToffee]

When is the PaquETA?
This window or the next?

I like what you did there

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

The Portuguese lad was apparently first choice and he went to juve. Kubo was to expensive and Fofana said no. Not sure about bakayoko

As I said at the time, such a scattergun window. Go in for an Rb, just one, then abandon that idea. Go for pace on the right, then go left then go slow on the right. All in for Delap, then for Barry - weird

 

[Nymzee]

Luiz at Forest hasn't settled. Wonder if Dyche would let him go? I also really rate Williams.
I'd love Ferguson at Everton though. Better than Delap imo.

You've literally just watched him be absolutely wank?

we are 3 points behind a Europa League place, hardly an insurmountable chasm with a few signings is it?

All true. We're all just a bit want-it-now really.

Its why I wanted Fatawu over Dibling, he is like a right sided Doku, tbh Id still go in for him if we could.

One can pass.

 

[Bebeto]

Lecce's best player to replace the Oaf?

Tiago Gabriel - Player profile 25/26

Tiago Gabriel, 21, from Portugal ➤ US Lecce, since 2024 ➤ Centre-Back ➤ Market value: €15.00m ➤ * 26/12/2004 in Montauban , France

Its a yes from me.

This is one for me we should be all over as soon as...they want 25 millions euros...just pay the money and dont wait until for another pl side to show interest. Apparently we are not attractive as a club, so more reasons to just go ahead and get it done this week.

 

[Connor]

50m dash.

Who’s your money on?

Allan or McNeil

myself

 

[Yarrgh]

A tenner? Nope make it 20 - got to take into account inflation for when they finish.

 

[Bebeto]

I see Roma are starting to make some moves, Malen from Villa and Robinio Vaz, a striker from Marseille. Meanwhile we wait like patience on a monument.

Its either money (so TFG prioritising roma) or its pure and simple incompetence from the recruitment team/board. Right now I am on the fence, but possibly leaning more towards there is no money, or at least not a lot of money which means the recruitment team has to be creative, the same way thelwell use to work.

Not at all mate, but I don’t think Europe is a must for the owners so they won’t try to force the issue.

If I was a gambling man I’d say the targets were comfortable safety and, upper mid table at a stretch. We’re on target for that atm, so I would assume - again pure guesswork - that the groundwork will be laid for Summer recruitment that pushes our target to European qualification next year.

Our owners don’t care about our history, or get swept up in the emotion of us potentially getting into Europe. I reckon it’s all very methodical and target driven, and that’s not conducive to January panic buying.
