January Transfer Window 2026

[EFC_FRANCIS]

In
Tyrique George

Out
Patto
Dwighty
Aznou

That’s how to make your squad stronger apparently

Well, it wouldn't exactly make us weaker

 

[Somerset Blue]

Can't see a deal for McNeil getting over the line at this stage...unfortunately.

 

[bullybeef]

Well, it wouldn't exactly make us weaker

Would if it’s a numbers game and we include the injured Grealish

 

[nick_waters]

WTAF - if we reject a seven figure fee for Dwight McNeil my confidence in the recruitment team is officially at rock bottom.

They've already offered an eight figure sum!

 

[Toffeeslam]

Not sure I agree with that

And there is no way Patto leaves without a fullback coming in, even EFC are not that incompetent

You know then there will be full justification for Moyes to play his four centre backs formation.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

So decent he’s available in January for £2m.

Deal up at the end of the season. Bundesliga players tend not to have the same taxes on their last 6 months as PL players.

 

[MikeH72]

Nah not for me. Their owner just goes rogue an signs whoever he likes - Moshiri like.

All the whining last summer over Zinchenko, Douglas Luiz, McActee, Ndoye, Kalimuendo, Hutchinson.

Big fees and just 3 of that list have already been legged there.

Fair enough. I think they’ve assembled a good squad that has depth in all positions and a lot of pace and goal threat, qualified for Europe last season too. Players like McAtee, Ndoye and Hutchinson I’m sure will thrive under their next manager. But then they’ve spent the guts of half a billion on it so I’m not surprised they have good players really.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Selling McNeil for decent bunce is as good as a signing ha.

 

[Zatara]

How have we not sold McNeil.

George & Aznou replace him on the left.

Some good players signed in a scattergun approach with no plan over a manager and a philosophy. They've still signed a lot of decent players.

 

[Clarky cat]

Apparently George has been spotted in Asda.

 

[davek]

If Aznou goes then the fate of the signings from the summer will be:

Aznou - gone
Grealish - out for the season
Rohl / Dibling / Alcaraz / Travers - bit part players


Only KDH / Barry - regular starters who are looking at starting games until the season's end.

That's a disastrous waste of money for a club with resources like ours.

And given that pattern I'd say George's chance of impacting the first team looks remote.

 

[MikeH72]

I reckon that team will be back in the top half next season. Probably after another £200m dropped without consequence.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Where did those rumors emanate from?

Not sure where tbh, just what I've seen people saying on twitter.

Seems pretty likely though considering them supposedly being willing to take Patterson as well. Cant see any other reason we wouldn't go for that.
