January Transfer Window 2026

[Yarrgh]

WAND OF A LEFT FOOT

A Hitachi wand!

 

[neil999]

If we get anywhere near 20 ..sell and not even bothered if we get no-one in

 

[Moomin]

Will be sad to see McNeil leave.

He is a wizard with a gift of scoring superb goals all the time.

The league is so, so much more competitive now though. Finishing 6th then is the equivalent of finishing 10th now given how many teams expect to challenge for Europe every season these days.

For most of his first tenure the order of power was the 'big 6' (or 5 - didn't even have City in there til '09!), then us, then a random grab bag of whoever else.

Now each year expected to be challenging in the top half of the table you have:

City
Utd
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Spurs
Newcastle
Villa

Then the tier below that, that we're in (i.e. 'challenging for Europe is not completely unrealistic but needs a great season'), is equally as congested:

Us
Bournemouth
Palace
Brighton
Forest
Brentford
Fulham

Obviously clubs have great years and terrible years, but that's roughly expectations for each club each season.

Breaking into that next tier of 8 clubs who have the expectation of challenging for Europe EVERY season is a HUGELY bigger ask than finishing 6th and 7th in his first period here.

Hmm, I keep reading in here that the league is much poorer now than it was 10 or 15 years ago

But yes, we are quite far behind those teams that are seriously pushing for champions league places, but to suggest that Moyes is incapable of building a team that pushes for Europe is demonstrably nonsense.

If we get 20M for McNeil I’m going back to mass

Jokes aside, for how bad he’s been this season, he was probably one of the players that dragged us through the really bad seasons and kept us a PL club. If he goes, he goes with well wishes and thanks.

He was one of the reasons they were really bad seasons in the first place. Sell.

 

[brooks]

20mil is outrageous, what are we doing here

 

[Tin-Tin]

FFS, sell him

 

[Yarrgh]

Whaaaaaatttt

What a week to have off work. If someone needs to drive him down south, I'll do it for nowt.

For any Palace fans or owners lurking Dwight is affectionately known as the Rochdale Hagi.

Jokes aside he was one of the reasons we was near the bottom of the league, if he goes I’ll cry with happiness and wish him well and thanks

 

[LABlue2]

What was their first offer? 3 million?

 

[Tin-Tin]

Surely there is a winger abroad we could get on loan that could cover him and contribute as little as he has for the last 4 months. We may not get another offer and be stuck with him.

 

[DanB90]

He’s got a massive cock.

 

[sladen90]

Out McNeil in Wilson. I would be happy with that. Not sure if it's doable but it's an upgrade.

 

[blue to the bone]

Straight swap with Nathaniel Clyne according to Vince Grappa
