The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

As Smurph said, he's not playing because Vipotnik is playing and scoring at a level far exceeding his first season here.

There's no doubt in my mind that Idah was signed to be our main striker this season. A club like us doesn't spend as much as we did (wherever in the suggested fee paid it actually fell, it's certainly a few million at least) for a backup. If if wasn't for Vip's huge improvement, Idah would be the regular starter up top, despite the judgement of a few football experts on here that he can't play there.

Once Idah is fit, if Vipotnik is injured or sold, Idah will 100% take his place in the team. If he does so for a good run of games, we can then assess whether he's actually good enough or not, rather than make a ridiculous early judgement that is then clung on to despite how irrational that is.

I can't disagree with you that Idah was signed to be the main striker and that Vip's form has prevented that happening.

It's just my opinion and I will be most happy to be wrong, however I just don't see Idah being good enough, I base this on his previous at Norwich and what he has shown so far at Swansea.

I hope I'm wrong and I get served a huge piece of humble pie.

For the reported cost and wages we really need to wrong for the good of the club.

Be mad if we sign him a week after he was sung off the pitch with “your fucking shit, your fucking shit”

I’ve no opinion on him either way, for the record.

The video of it just popped up on my Twitter.

Reported by the club? Or reported by sources that don’t know and the club laughed at?

They would wouldn't they. They aren't going to openly admit they overpaid.

They would if it wasn’t true. You are basing your opinion on something you openly admit that you don’t know - which I can’t get my head around.
