January Transfer Window 2026

[Marius57]

well when the goal went in he was behind Pickford and their left sided player scored. Our right back was behind our keeper. Doesn’t seem like he was marking him to me.

Their fullback scored. Patterson tracked their forward into the box. He can’t mark their fullback making a run into the box as well, that falls onto our winger.

Patterson in centre of the box, on a man. Their man who scored is the one running in just at the very left of the screen. But yeah, that’s not McNeils man, sure

Imagine we let Patto go and don't bring a right back in

 

[Blue83]

Why would we be going for Wilson ? We have enough midfielders, one we lashed £40million on and are scared to play, unless he was to be a replacement for N'diaye when he eventually gets sold which is just

Still no RB's seem to exist in the world for the club to sign

Extremely funny that we all thought January would be when we fixed the fullback issue, but actually Moyes thought the only issue was that he never had all 4 CBs fit, and now he does we can ship out the only two FBs at the club who offer anything going forwards

And some people think this is the manager who can have us competing for Europe regularly

He had us qualifying for Europe regularly before

Not sure if you have heard, but he also won a European trophy

 

[ValBlue]

Moyes is frothing over the idea of shipping out Patterson and Aznou. Full backs who cross the half way line will NOT be tolerated at this football club.

Seems like you're looking for a reason to dislike a player and because you can't think of anything else you've settled on where he was for 2 seconds of a game.

I’m struggling to wrap my head around this. Are we really saying that, with the combined knowledge of our scouts, the transfer committee, and David Moyes, there isn’t a single right-back option anywhere in the footballing world?


I’m aware that the finances have to stack up and that the player has to be interested in joining, but it’s honestly nonsense. To top it off, there’s talk of getting rid of the right-back who’s actually performing well.

Utter clown fiesta

Yes, as there is no business to be done in January.

But there was also no good right (or left) back available over the entirety of summer, so I dunno.

It would allow McNeil to move on. It was never happening though, he’s worth more over the next 4 months to Fulham than the small fee they’d get. And to sell him to a club so close in the table? Never happening

I'm a Moyes supporter but am alarmed at the last month.

He's played Barry into form this season. Good.

Adnan, Rohl and Dibling look like signings for the future but out of step with the issues at FB, which affect us every game this session, and those lads barely play.

Without the freak wins at Villa and utd I think Moyes is on thin ice and the football in 1st halves vs Leeds and Brighton are Dyche level football.

I think Moyes is smart and can fix it,but I see nothing in this window helping that, so the message from Moyes and TFG has moved from to survive to stabilise.

That's a missed opportunity given the table and the sequence of games.

Making Europe VASTLY improves recruitment options.

It naturally beggars the question how Brighton and Bournemouth etc are bringing through the talent they have.

 

[kenada_blue]

Mad how Genoa think he's a good replacement and we don't.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Yeah, cuz they did over the summer - now is the time to strengthen the squad you have, but we have no full squad and haven't even strengthened anything, as the summer was also a dithering mess where we took weeks more for everything, being "Interest FC". At this point a loan from any league is a player we at least have so we don't have to necessarily play Dwight McNeil, as there are no doubt many players who can fill the loan slot there and do better, but no doubt we've not tried.

I mean I mentioned specifically not those teams strengthening their squads, but as above - they're squads that they've planned since summer and are mostly going for depth, whereas we apparently don't need depth anywhere and are good to go again.

No idea how people keep drinking the David Moyes-flavoured Kool Aid of "there's no deals to be done during January".

Fair enough mate. You seem to think that Everton are singularly incompetent and we should have just signed a right back, full stop, no matter what. I disagree, but there is probably no way I'm changing your mind, so I'll leave it there.

+ Sevilla, who have tried twice to take him.

I will say that RB is not really a position of strength at the moment in the market. You’re probably looking at someone young you’re not ready to play week in week out.

Having said that, we’re close to a decade from when Coleman was critically injured, they need to get their thumbs out of their butts and find a RB.

Wilson is McNeil with brighter teeth and 2 years older though.

Dont get deceived by Wilson's form. Hes playing for a deal. He's only ever been a squad/bit part player for Fulham in the prem as hes very hit and miss.
