January Transfer Window 2026

[Swartzy]

I agree Saint buying Wilson is short term thinking and not the way forward. But the next England number 9 will most likely be playing in one of the media darlings academies so we'd not be able to prize them away anyway

Yeah but short term thinking in Jan, and long term thinking in the Summer.

Surely everyone see's the right decision.

How badly can you fail with a loan now, compared to a 4yr contract.

Just spotted a heavily disguised Andy Robertson in Regent Road. Shock switch on the cards to give him game time in the last few years of his career. I will swallow my horror and say welcome Andy.

Isn't Wilson a free agent or soon to be one? If so he'll want a 1 and a half year deal as he'll not want to sign for a half season contract

 

[MACCA75]

That’s was in the early rounds with easier games, later stages is a different ball game and Emery will go for his best 11 when available imo

You need to pay more attention to how he rotates his squad.

Like I said early rounds of eroupe when the opposition is not the best and you can afford the odd draw etc. let’s see when it’s a Q/final and emery
Is going to drop
His best striker

He signed a 12 month deal at west ham so not sure why he’d want a longer one here . However Say he did want a year from today , paying him off for 6 months to go at potentially £6k a week basic isn’t catastrophic.

Would rather have a 50 year old Nuno Valente play left back for us than that abhorrent red shyte tw@

From the way it's worked with West ham, I expect he will take what is offered.
There isn't exactly a scatter of clubs chasing his signature at this level.

It's not a progressive signing though is it? It smacks of the recruitment team giving up on finding a proper solution and just settling for a cheap stop gap. If we're happy staying lower midtable then sure he'd be fine but if we want to show any ambition then he'd be a terrible signing

Exactly! Not a scatter of clubs after him and he's hardly been brilliant for a woeful West Ham. It screams mediocrity to me

I'm not calling for him, just stating the position he's in if he wants top flight football.

Sorry for the misunderstanding then. Anyway it looks like that Moroccan lad is our next striker going off the rumours

 

[preposterousvelios]

….being mischevious, I do wonder if we’d have been any worst off had we saved lots of money and just kept Ellis Simms.

We desperately needed the money

Simmo Chermits and DCLy would have made an awesome front 3
