January Transfer Window 2026

[Bob Elstone]

Anything is better than Beto. Would take a traffic cone or scarecrow.

 

[davek]

Do you reckon we will sign anyone Dave?

I doubt it mate.

Roma continue to be quite active this window:

 

[14_dollars]

• James Smith: Director of Scouting & Recruitment, returning to the club from City Football Group.
• Nick Cox: Technical Director, formerly of Manchester United's academy.
• Chris Howarth: Head of Football Strategy & Analytics, from Insight Sport.
• Nick Hammond: Leads Player Trading, previously involved with Newcastle United.

Other Key Personnel:

• Angus Kinnear: CEO overseeing the new structure.
• James Vaughan: Head of Academy Recruitment & Player Pathways.
• Lee Sargeson: Works with Purdy, previously at Brighton.

All those people and the best they can come up with is some Moroccan journeyman?

Surely we’d swap Beto for this Morrocan lad.

We don’t potentially want three absolutely useless ‘strikers’ on our books

I'd rather we sell Beto and loan this lad. Put the money towards a RB then reasses in the summer

I doubt it is but you have to remember who they are buying for.

We were never signing a top striker this January. It's maybe not the most exciting development, but if Beto goes and this guy comes in without us being out of pocket then that's a net positive as far as I'm concerned.

Loan with option suits us too. Could be relatively shrewd business which is how you're supposed to use January window really, smart marginal improvements without breaking the bank.

The real job they should be judged on this month is getting fullbacks in, can be no excuses for that. Proper striker signing to come in summer.

 

[jazzy]

Unless we are going to spend serious money on a striker a guy of this calibre on a loan with an option is probably as good as we are going to get.

Let's face he can't be any worse than Beto.

However all for nothing if we don't get a couple of full backs who can cross a ball.

Roma continue to be quite active this window:

"Certain conditions" yet we signed Rohl in a wheelbarrow with a commitment to buy...

 

[Quadvod]

Roma continue to be quite active this window:

Emery doesn’t half wheeler deal - he’s been relatively prolific for his minutes on the pitch

Roma continue to be quite active this window:

Surprised Vilka let him go tbh
He's been doing bits for them this season

 

[nevsonlymate]

I doubt we will make Europe for next season but if we make that plastic third European competition then I don’t think next season in the premier league will go very well, too many games while the squad is rebuilding. When Moyes has gone, completely gone from our club, hopefully we will begin that still long climb back to be a really competing club again.

only 41 games his season at least its 1 more than Man Ure so if Moyes stays on another year we then have to possibly wait 2-3 seasons for European football not exactly what i thought the new owners would be expecting

They have serious PSR issues, their wages/turnover is over 90%. I was reading something the other day about how they desperately need to increase their revenue streams and start budgeting a bit better but they don't, they just remortgage each season.

 

[johnjoeefc]

Why are we linked with ben white. We dont want a cb playing rb we need a proper rb

 

[chopper6]

I’m surprised we didn’t look at that Malen from Villa instead of this other striker from Turkey…
