The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

[Swans Jack]

Strange how sometimes it works and sometimes...
If you scroll back to Kyogo at Celtic he was phenomenal - a right handful. And before everyone starts -not just in the Scottish league but in the Champions league as well.
He looks like his confidence is shot - BUT if Matos can get him at the right price and work with him - the potential is huge.

100%. If he was a dud to start off then I would understand the concerns, but with previous profile as a player it just hasn't clicked for him. I wouldn't be against having him on loan and sending Wales out to a League One club. Then come the summer, Idah, and possibly new striker as Vip will go.

Walta and a cb who can play rb both permanent deals close . Club also chasing a winger by Monday too. Told stamenic enquiries have gone no further than enquiries

CB would be a loan.

Don't rule out an outgoing for a decent fee.

I like the sound of kyogo tbh. I know he hasn't scored many this season but there's quality there

Indeed, I forget what game I watched, when Celtic were playing, but I thought he was superb in that particular game.

Stamenic is always going to attract interest but I think it’s too soon to even consider making a quick buck. If he stays another season he will be worth even more and sell at the end of next season.

Issue with Stamenic and a couple of other recent signings, he and they were players wanted by Sheehan and/or O'Dea. People in hot seats tend to want their own men and unless these players brought in by others are tearing it up then they might not take as much of a battle to be sold when teams coming calling.
Personally I think Stamenic is a fantastic player, I would be persisting with him as the main DM going forward.

I don’t think there was any connection to Stamenic with O’Dea or Sheehan being at Olympiacos, Red Star and Forest. They may have liked him too but that would be a club signing.

O’Dea has recently said he pushed for Adam Idah but that’s because he used to work with him and would have had an existing relationship.

Those types of signings I think become a bit wedded to the coaches so maybe Idah will want pastures new.

Stamenic is good player and has already show that in a Swans shirt more than once this season. It's worth remembering the lad is still grieving the loss of his Father.

Every signing is a club signing. You don't need to have a connection for someone to want to sign a player. As I stated, Stamenic was wanted by Sheehan.

Stamenic is a good player and unless it's stupid money then we should be looking to keep him and be our no main DM going forward.

Spot on with regards to every signing being a club signing.

The rate managers come and go these days, all signings have to be made with the blueprint of the club and the style of play the owners want their managers to adopt.

I have no doubt managers will make recommendations, they will have very little input to scouting networks etc.

Managers will have their input on the players who have been highlighted by the scouting team and Managers will also bring players to the table like Stamenic,Santos, Idah and Joel Ward(?) in recent times.
A club signing it is but the recommendations and pushing for that signing can come from various angles in the club but mainly from the scouting department originally.

Every player will be wanted by the managers, we won’t sign anyone without the managers blessing.

But I’m saying the club would have sourced and sold the vision to Stamenic so he has no connection to Sheehan.

Idah on the other hand or players who are pushed by managers because they have an existing relationship with them will be more under threat of moving on.

So Stamenic isn’t in the same boat as someone like an Idah.
