January Transfer Window 2026

What’s the starting eleven when we’re at full strength?

GK: Pickford
RB: Patterson
LB: Mykolenko
CB: Tarkwoski / O’Brien
CB: Branthwaite
CM: Garner
CM: Dewsbury-Hall
AM: Armstrong
RW: Ndiaye
LW: Grealish
ST: Barry

Subs:
King
Keane
O’Brien / Tarkowski
Iroegbunam
Gueye
Röhl
Dibling
McNeil
Beto

Arguably, get Aznou onto the bench for one of those centre mids.

We’re really not that far away; just need a proper Right Back.

January Window:
1. Right Back

Summer Window:
1. Sign Grealish or his replacement
2. Upgrade Beto
3. Upgrade Mykolenko
4. Sign a quality #10 to compete with HA
5. Upgrade McNeil
 
I want anything that means McNeil is punted out the door.

I think it's more that I'm surprised that Wimmer is one we might he considering.
Kind of sad Leeds are getting that Schmid for 15m euros, would have been very happy with him as a McNeil replacement if you see McNeil as more of an attacking mid than a winger.

But to be fair we probably do need to replace him with a proper winger instead.

It’s crazy that we are not working tirelessly to sign a striker and a couple of fullbacks.

With c£3m additional prize money for each PL place, it’s worth the effort to fill these obvious gaps and transform the team.

It also takes some of the pressure off the summer window.

If we are constrained by PSR then fair enough but I think we should have some headroom.
 
Priority in Order:
1. RB - Flog Patterson to Spain if they want him to cover some of the fee.
2.LB - Work out what to do with the other 2 in the summer.
3. Striker - Flog off Beto.

Who? don't know just know what we need.
Jan is hard to get what we need I understand but its what we need.
The only 3 positions we should be focused on.
If Dyche wants McNeil and we can upgrade him then great, if not NP I think we still hold a 12 month option so can sell him in the summer so not bothered.
