The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

With Walta coming in, where does that leave Widell?
I really rate Melker but after half a season, I have no idea what his best position is supposed to be.

Walta has been on holiday since November so don't think he'll come in and be starting straight away. As for long the term I guess Widell and him will be fighting it out for the 8 position.

I'm so glad I put MagicDaps on ignore 6 months ago

This is a six page thread for you then.

If our midfield and defenders can now chip in with goals then I think a striker isn't needed in this window

Idah is back in March. Do we really need to sign a ST on loan all for 1 month where he'd be playing 10-30mins a game? Just doesn't make sense to be honest.

Plus Matos has the option of utilising Wedill as a false nine

Add another six pages for the rumour that Galbraith was signed to play right back.

It's a big IF with regards to midfielders and defenders chipping in with goals. The return has been poor and we need one or 2 to be contributing more to the goal tally.
If one was chipping in with around 6/7 at this stage then you could see why it isn't needed. That said, I believe we can't totally rule out Cullen being ruled out given he has 12, 7 and 9 in the previous 3 seasons. He had his limitations but is capable of chipping in with goals.

It wasn't rumour it was fact!
Know your audience Smurph.

Being fair though Smurph, you always seem to be in the mix of these things when they are dragging on page after page

Lesson to learn. Don't trust YouTube Highlights

He was Championship player of the season the year Burnley got promoted. No smoke and mirrors there he was very much the real deal. If he’d have hit the same form here Ronald would definitely not have started as RW for the rest of the season. Injuries might have dented his confidence but he definitely isnt the player of two or three seasons ago.

It will go past 7pm tomorrow, don't you worry.

You need to add on a few hours of meltdowns and people moaning about people moaning after the window closes

 

[Dillwyn the Dog]

totally agree. Many won't. One thing I always find strange about Vip is, watch him everytime a ball comes down to him. He doesn't look at the ball when competeting for it he watches the player. It's a strange thing he does and rarely does he win them. That aside, I do like Vip but seems to be hot and cold. Yes he is top scorer. But seems Matos would like someone who presses (yes Vip does this) but one with more impact by doing this.

Your expectations require quite a few million pounds to realise. I’ll take hot and cold if he sits at the top of the Championship scoring chart at the end of the season. Jeez

And another few hours/days for some mental gymnastics when we sign someone never mentioned previously/sign no one at all for desperate to be seen to be ITK people on fan sites/twitter/both claim that their sources told them all along that we were signing said player never mentioned previously/signing no one at all.

The Walta signing would then push Widell and/or Yalcouye out to cover the wing position.

No I think Widdell would play in the 8 role behind him
