January Transfer Window 2026

[Bob Elstone]

Why do people think city will loan us Bobb when Fulham have offered 35m to buy him???

 

[Bob Elstone]

Zero excuse as to why we can’t enter the loan market for a winger now.

Zero.

We'll go with what we’ve got

Correct.

We don’t have a scouting network or management infrastructure to identify and sign genuine talent.

Add Moyes dithering on top and it’s pretty grim.

This is why we’ve been linked to duds like Cameron Wilson, the Moroccan journeyman striker and a Sunderland reserve.

Zero.

We can enter it. Whether we win the competition is another point

Bizarre number of people saying we should cancel Grealish's loan

City would have to agree to this and we are currently covering somewhere in the region of £200k per week of Grealish's wages - why would City possibly agree to cancelling the loan just so they can pay those wages themselves instead?

Not happening at all

at least jack harrison is not available anymore - start the day with some good news

Because certain places on the internet are infested with crayon munchers.

Obviously things can change, but listening to updates from the Bobble, I'm not feeling optimistic.

The club haven't even had discussions as to whether or not they will send Grealish back to City, apparently. Yet they think he will be out for at least 3 months before he's back training.

huh did Grealish injury not happen yesterday ? even so he still needs to see the specialist.

Haha it’s crazy.

We also can’t ignore the fact that Fulham have a track record for developing youngsters whereas we are a graveyard for young players.

I don’t think anyone is saying we should cancel the loan if it’s not an option, if it’s up for negotiation, then we should and if there’s a clause in the deal saying we can then we definitely should. Given what we’ve gone through with spending the last decade it’d be ridiculous to spend 5-7m on wages on a player who MAY not play again until the last month of season.

Agree, I don’t think it would even be an option in what we agreed with City.
We don’t even know the extent of it yet, he might miss games until the end of feb and then be back fo March, April and May.

Always imagine there must be clauses or insurance about injuries in loans that reduce payments - maybe I'm naive.

Generally stuff like this is built into the contract. You are on loan, you get an injury, you are out, you generally go back.

Zero.

I agree that we should be trying to use the loan slots, and the club probably are.

I’m just not convinced that there will be many players out there, of quality, that their parent club would be happy to loan out. Unless it’s right at the end of the window cos a player who is not playing wants to get a move to increase their chance of a World Cup squad place.
