January Transfer Window 2026

[14_dollars]

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.

Part of the issue must be the management at each club.

I assume Roma have a team of recruitment / scouting personnel.

We’ve got dithering Davie, Angus the village idiot and a photocopy of Thelwell’s dossier.

Aren't our new super duper elite executive crew all now in post? Obviously there's no evidence of them doing anything. At all. But we were told back in the summer that, after their gardening leave, we had the dream team.

He been linked? Beast in the air. I'm very cautious about looking at CB stats because what they do is so hard to quantity using publicly available stuff apart from aerial dominance and passing

I have it on good authority...

Just kidding, i saw a dodgy site with a link earlier but didnt check the original source. 230am here and been working so brain a bit fried.

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.

Just an easy deal to bring in now, get him adjusted and ready for preseason.

@hetion googled his name and Everton and theres a fair few links in the last 24hours. Rudy Galetti is one cant remember if reliable.

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.

I just don’t understand why summer signings are described as methodical, but January signings are a ‘panic buy’.

It’s not like it’s only just become apparent we need a right back/left back/striker. And it’s not like our summer wasn’t a screwball scramble that looks a mess.

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

Fatwu seemed better suited to what we’d been looking at - pace !

Up there with Gianluca Chianti, I think...

It’s probably because they don’t want to spend any money. If anything this January is potentially easier due to it being a World Cup year, players wanting to make the national team etc.

Would think be for sale in the summer the position leicester in atm, worry about his injuries but if get the right price could be worth it

 

[bullybeef]

I hear voices saying we’re in for a left backs and a right back.

He still
Wouldn’t be getting games though,
When Ndiaye and Grealish are available. I think in the end it was Dibling or Hutchinson, the club thought Dibling was a better long term option

Tell them voices to educate themselves, you can’t have a left backs.
