The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Somebody put up a video of his goals at Burnley when we loaned him. I noticed the vast majority of goals featured him dropping his shoulder, coming inside the full-back and shooting from the edge of the area.

I didn't see him try that once in his limited appearances for us. Not sure if that's due to him having lost a step/confidence after injury or if the way we were playing didn't give him the opportunity (we hardly got the ball forward quickly most of the time). The fact Matos seems to want to use him even less than Sheehan did doesn't suggest he's shining on the training pitch however.

I would agree with you that we should have insisted on a cancellation clause as a condition of completing the loan.

In fairness to the club it was deadline day and we needed a right winger, there wasn't much time to look at alternatives and it was worth the punt to see if he could rediscover his form in the championship a few years previous.

I agree it was worth he punt at the time im not criticizing that but he did only play 152mins worth of football in 2 years we should have known there was a good chance it would have gone wrong.

Yea but relatively low risk. He was never going to be a long term option and even if Ronald got injured we still have others who could play right wing.

Who knows maybe he'll return rejuvenated and contribute something. Doubt it mind.

Santos to Reading has fallen through.

Hopefully its because another club has come in and not because he failed his medical.

or maybe because we need him

He failed his medical.

Doesn’t take much to eek them out of the shadows. It’s a cult.

We must have some of the dullest cretins following us in all of the clubs in the football pyramid.

Was it low risk?
I am guessing that he came at a healthy cost.

Supporters have got very special since our relegation from the premier league.

Relatively. Obviously there's some cost associated.

 

[Cooperman]

3 points off playoffs 4th highest scores in the league and multiple sellable assets compared to Santos and Idah the worst attacking team in the league and a relegation battle. Not a fan of Martin but his spell looked like Pwp compared to Sheehan.

If you compared him to Duff I could see it but to put Martin in the same bracket as this clown is ridiculous.

There, I corrected this for you.

Rak-Sakyi not going to happen by the looks of things. Real shame, quality player. We have to be competing higher up to be able to attract that standard of player though unfortunately.

Not the end of the world as the squad isn’t lacking for bodies and apart from probably needing a CB, we can likely see the season out with what we have.

We were told this window would be a quiet one.

Not interested and couldn't be convinced?!
We move on to the next target/s.

A quiet window is starting to be a busy one it seems.
