January Transfer Window 2026

[RomanReigns]

it would be silly to have loan spots and not use them right?

It’s almost like people want us to sign players for the sake of it.

Remember that January when we spent £47m on Tosun and Walcott?

*shudders

Logically, yes, but there are loan fees flying around of £5m or so for 6 months which is utterly daft

Even a loan has to make commercial sense

On Grealish he's probably right, maybe not Villa but unless City would accept the amount he owes them under PSR which one poster stated was around 16 million,I doubt our owners would pay around the 50 City allegedly want as Grealish's age doesn't fit what appears to be our present transfer profile.

City would probably accept and we would pay 20/25 m

What is a Moyes player

Don’t we have 2 domestic loans (1 left with Grealish) and 6 international loans?

If you say that you might pay £5m per loan plus wages so maybe £7m total for 6 months, that’s £49m we can spend now on loans that might be filler players because they might take a while to get up to speed OR save that money til the summer and spend it on the down payments for 2 players of much higher calibre with at least some prospect of re-sale value in the future

I think people want us to sign players to fix the glaring weaknesses in the squad tbh.

 

[davids]

I would be happy to take any player who improves us. Our model has to be taking players who we can sell on for big profit.

It is and should be. With Barry it may work. With N'Diaye it's definitely worked. With Dibling...

Yeah it's a bit weird how some people seem to think loans are completely free. If there's a player available for loan that we want in the long term then great, or if there's someone we think can make a huge difference between now and May that's fine, but I can't get my head round people wanting us to just bring in random players that even they themselves don't rate just because we're allowed to, when it could just be a complete waste of millions of pounds.

 

[MACCA75]

I think people want to temper their expectations of how great the summer window will be btw.

All this ‘let’s keep our powder dry and sign the players we really want’. The expectation that we’ll fix all the issues with the squad.

Let’s see how that goes.

 

[davids]

His wage may be the bigger issue.

 

[dutchblue54]

Pogba is available for transfer too.

hahaha just know Moyes had Lingard at West Ham, resurrected his career. Then got him to train at West Ham later on in his career. And he could play left wing

loan fees are normally about 1-2 mil max in january unless you are chasing an elite player

1-2 mil in the prem league is chump change

 

[neil999]

Loans aren't free btw
