The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

Why wouldn’t he have a choice?

Galbraith is an 8 and a RB, he’s played both in equal measures. The midfield is better balanced when it’s Stamenic, Franco and Widell.

Sheehan couldn’t see it but that’s what makes Vitor a good manager. We have much better results when he’s played RB and drifts inside to play a supporting 6.

It's fairly obvious to everyone that he was signed as a midfielder and is being used as a stop gap by Matos for now.

The fact he's been shifted in to midfield during some games should tel you that.

Vitor played him at right back after his first game in charge.

Because he clearly didn't think Key was justified to play RB and the only other option was to play Galbraith at RB.
How many times has Matos started Galbraith in midfield since he arrived?

I don’t think he has. That’s my point, he sees his quality is better at RB and we have been reaping the rewards.

How is it obvious though? Our fans just assume things. We have no idea the plans behind his signing. He’s been shifted inside for tactical reasons.

He’s a versatile player. But pretending he’s not really a RB when he’s essentially played there more times than anywhere else in his career isn’t accurate.

I disagree, I believe he is the only option to play there currently rather than playing Key who would hinder us.

Key, Ward, Casey (when he was here), Parker, Lissah to call back and even Ronald can all play RB. He chooses Galbraith though, just as Orient did.

It is obvious though! He was signed and started off as a central midfielder!
Only because Key was playing atrocious was he pushed to RB. He has a history of playing RB and the mindset was he could also cover RB if required.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we should have targeted a RB to come in over the signing of Santos in the summer.

Clearly he didn't fancy the others for various reasons.

It's obvious to 99.9% of our fanbase why he's been shifted in to right back.

Not getting in to another Adam Idah back and forth with you.

Daps, save yourself the aggro.

It’s not obvious. He was signed for multiple
positions, that’s the benefit of him and played there because that’s where Sheehan felt he was best.

We have plenty of opportunities to move him back inside including signing a RB or calling Lissah back who is destroying the SPL.

We haven’t been linked to a single one. There is a reason for that..

You're very persistent

He’s played RB more than any other position for us.

When people assume things I can be, yes. We have no idea the plans behind his signing, especially when he was signed from a club that played him RB, just like we have no idea how much Idah was signed for.

You've already said.
