January Transfer Window 2026

What are people's thoughts on Callum Wilson, contract to the end of the season?

Guaranteed to get injured first game and run out his contract on the treatment table.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Well yes, this is true, I was working on the assumption that we'd be sensible about it but I suppose I should've realised that's unrealistic

From the club that keeps giving Coleman 1 year extensions despite him never being available for selection on a regular basis

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

A statue not a football player. The Eiffel tower is more mobile

Not sure now, but a couple of weeks ago he’d had more shots than anyone in the Championship, and more goals per minute than anyone in the championship. Thats fantastic if that’s what your squad/bench striker can achieve. Good on him.

We don’t half make it look difficult. 19- year old Kroupi at Bournmouth. 7 goals in 16 appearances. Apparently paid £10-12m for him from Ligue 2. Could sell him tomorrow for double what they paid after half a season.

I think after all the data has been poured over, Angus has given the nod, Moyes has reluctantly agreed, TFG should employ a random person to just watch any prospective striker purchase for 4 minutes to see if they can run like a vaguely sporty person, without falling over or limbs flapping everywhere.

Six month deal with a 12 month option if he makes enough starts/goals....

Easy enough to get out of if it goes wrong

Has he got his own thread yet?

 

[COYBL25]

We've got people writing off players that haven't even signed for us based on the country they were born in or the league that they are currently playing in.

Yet, somehow you sound surprised

 

[Drico]

Which striker did you think was realistically available in a Jan window , we missed out on?

I don't think we missed out on any. The available ones can all still be underwhelming, mind, whilst better than the two mannequins we currently field.

 

[daza_1973]

It stinks of "we tried"

New owners same old rhetoric

 

[Bez2k2k]

10m?! Hahaha

9m profit on a player who may have a relegation clause?

 

[ClausThomsen]

Do pay as you play even exist ?

Nope. It's just become football shorthand for (relatively) low basic and high performance related bonuses.

The got Kroupi cheap as it was as a tie up with Lorient who have the same owners
West ham bid about 3 times that amount and were turned down

I was going to suggest we try Grealish more central in a number 10 role but the OCD of certain fans might not like it.

I know mate its crackers , the current "system" isn't exactly breaking barriers

I think you’ll find the manager sees the players in training mate







*yet still plays McNeil on the right ffs

The injury issue would be a big problem , other than that it would be worth looking at, he is a good centre forward and on a short term contract he would be better than Beto who has been surprisingly poor this season and that is even without sky high expectations in the first place.

Elite players for an elite stadium…

 

[Daytripper]

What are people's thoughts on Callum Wilson, contract to the end of the season?

Not for me given his age and injury record.
