January Transfer Window 2026

Moyes on transfers - a lot of speculation, what is the situation?

"The reality hasn't changed, we are looking - we haven't shut ourselves off from the transfer window."

Moyes adds that the club is still looking at doing business and that his squad is light but that, like he said last week, there is no guarantee any new arrivals come.

Stand down comrades
 
Players like Fatawu, Van Ewijk and Hackney in the Championship will end up in the Prem and we’ll be wondering why we didn’t sign them.

Yep. Every year teams come up and players do fine. And even if their teams go down, players from their teams stay in the league.

There is and always has been value In the championship. Van Ewijk Was such an obvious signing in the summer for 10mil.

The transfer committee are probably refusing anyone he wants, as they are looking for some more unknown foreign flops to bring in.
 
Yes, because our better players dont need coaching or adapting into another formation. With the players he had available when those better players were away they needed to be found a system to match their abilities and maximise our chances of a result: Moyes just stuck to his system and swapped non-starting players into it for as long as he could get away with it for.

If he'd been a better coach we had the required players to get better results than we got over Christmas and the new year.

So we would’ve had to change system, so the missing players did have an impact then?
 
It's done Mike. Even if we buy players we'll still have the same issues with Moyes at the helm. If we buy a player from abroad for instance Moyes will insist on 'easing' him in until he's Premier League 'ready' Plus the tactics will stay the same so even if we buy a new striker he'll probably struggle to score many aswell and we'll be saying how rubbish he is.

And with the 8 players we’ve already got coming back? There’s 17 games to play, it’s not “done” at all. Do you work for Angus Kinnear or something, why are you so insistent on making excuses for the football club all year round?

Not on numbers to the extent that we had no one to put out who could do a job.

Only in the last game against Sunderland when Iroegbunam picked up a late injury were we short of numbers, and only then later on when the likes of Campbell had to be introduced.
