The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

What am I lying about?

Borja Baston was not a good signing because he didn’t do much, Clucas was not a good signing because he didn’t do much.

I can’t pretend to say they aren’t a good signing because of their fees though, because I don’t know them and neither do you.

Idah hasn’t been here long, he’s behind the top scorer in the league and when he’s been on the pitch has contributed to more goals than anyone else in our side.

To say Idah has contributed to more goals than anyone else in our side (other than Vipotnik) is just factually incorrect.

Ronald, Franco & Tymon have more goal contributions than Idah

Per minute of time on the pitch (including Vipotnik). That was true as of 3 weeks ago, not checked since.

 

[TruckerJack]

I would agree.

Winger wise the club wanted one in to broaden it's options, we have lost Inoussa who is likely to be out for some time and replaced him with Nunes so our wing options are still as limited due to this injury.

Not convinced we will bring in another winger, if Inoussa comes back to fitness we would find ourselves overcrowded. Agree we are needing some defensive cover though!

We need a CB in from somewhere. Casey gone and Santos doesn’t seem trusted, hasn’t even featured in the cup. Ward has barely played. Would expect us to get one on loan before the end of the window.

Lets give a break to one of our U21's for bench duty for a change. An outside the box suggestion i suppose...

It's pretty damning if we don't have a youngster deemed good enough to be emergency CB cover as our 4th option at the position (assuming Ward is considered 3rd choice, we do need someone if he's considered RB only).

We have but he’s out on loan.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be opposed to that idea. Hasn’t Arthur Parker just gone out on loan? I would have said based off of the last preseason that he was probably the most realistic option.

 

[Magic_Michu]

I’d imagine we may go in for another centre back and potentially a striker on loan if one became available.

Yes Parker & Watts signed for Galway until June .

Vital said we are trying to target a no8 yesterday

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Looks like Reading are buying a different centre back instead of Santos.

 

[Birchgrovejack]

I'd rather target a Rb on loan and get galbraith back in the middle

Galbraith much better for us at right back in my opinion. When he’s at right back he still plays in the middle, watch his movement.

Depends. I'm not a fan of Galbraith as an 8 I think he has to be used deeper and aloud to run the build up and dictate the play (like Grimes). Which i think he is doing as a RB now anyway.

Also there is a case of it being easier to find a good midfielder than a good RB in the January market.

I think the Galbraith RB/midfield conundrum should be assessed in the summer when Lissah comes back.

Galbraith much better for us at right back in my opinion. When he’s at right back he still plays in the middle, watch his movement.

Which is why we’ve conceded goals down our right side recently because he’s way out of position.
