January Transfer Window 2026

[Daytripper]

Our reputation within the game itself must stink.
Even journeyman players jibbing us off. Been like this for ages.

Who mate?

Norton cuffy not being the replacement for Patterson, as Patto has more premier league experience absolutely stinks of Moyes

He has played as a right wingback in Genoa. If Moyes would play 3 at the back he is maybe suitable but as a fullback I have my doubts.

 

[Bebeto]

Well said, I get the whole not getting relegated so no need to spend thing, but surely there’s still a chance at getting Europe that could be worth an addition to push for? Guess it’s how much they believe in the squad (also see Notts forest struggling after getting Europe, maybe a one year push isn’t worth in the long terms and we need to be building on a much longer project)

Indeed...it seems to be only about return on investment. The only European competition worthwhile is champions league which in our case would require a huge investment, a lot more than what you'll eventually get. As you mentioned, if spending a bit more ensures some kind of lower European competition, while putting in jeopardy our position in the pl, then 100% TFG would be massively cautious. They are protecting their investment from a business perspective. Roma is a different story...I think there is an emotional attachement there which isn't there with us.

Expect McNeil to leave on loan with an obligation to buy, late on

 

[Gallaeo]

Absolutely pathetic window.

If we bag £20m for McNeill it improves quite a bit…..

 

[preposterousvelios]

I don't blame Moyes for this.

I blame the recruitment department under Angus Kinnear.

If someone can show me Moyes rejected options this window then he can have some of the blame as well but Kinnear was already eager to downplay expectations for this window in December.

Has Bobble not basically just said that Moyes preferred Patterson to Norton-Cuffy due to him having more PL experience?

Norton Cuffy obviously being the player selected by the recruitment team.

 

[Saint Domingo]

There’s no scenario where we turn down £20m for McNeil, right?

‘It’s terrible..:.but it Everton’

 

[Saint Domingo]

Amazing how Patterson has become premier league ready by actually playing games in the PL. There’s something in that when considering Aznou and Dibling.

 

[RinkyDinker]

Tyrique George has been been in the Moat house since yesterday.

Our ability to drag the arse of any deal never cease to amaze me ha.

Yeah, but the announcement video will be pyarrrr cinema

I so long for the days when a player was simply announced in the echo with a scarf around his Gregory Peck.

 

[Mozza1987]

We would be stupid if we didn’t accept £20 million for McNeil

 

[MikeH72]

Has Bobble not basically just said that Moyes preferred Patterson to Norton-Cuffy due to him having more PL experience?

Norton Cuffy obviously being the player selected by the recruitment team.

I bet George plays over Dibling though despite Dibling having more PL experience. Moyes can be a law unto himself sometimes I’ll say that much.

Big Ash on SSN tonight. Reminders everywhere

we still could mate - if we don’t

we could next season with a big summer

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

That's my retort
