The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

[Swans Jack]

As others said. Benson will go back. Yalcouye doesn't seem to be impressing Matos based on his comments. First business has to be a defending right back. I would be looking for a number 10, and options to replace Ronald. So 3 signings.

Can't get over how bad Benson has been, has looked dis-interested from day 1.
Him 'warming up' with the other subs on Saturday should tell you all you need to know. I'd send him back now if I could.

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

I'm also surprised Yalcouye didn't get any minutes on Saturday, when we needed more energy in that 10-15 mins. Big reputation, hasn't delivered.

Could a recall of Florian Bianchini be possible (or worthwhile)?

Ill have pelters again probably but I think Ollie Cooper has something to offer in a Matos team.

Way too similar to what we have

He can't break into the Wigan starting 11

There is absolutely no way dead wood like him should be given a sniff back here, hardly pulled up trees in bang average league 1 team. Sooner he is cut the better.

Can see what you mean though in terms of pressing and chasing, but surely Widell can play that role

Rb, Rb, Rb
And send parker on a loan, to a league 1 team at least, with a minimum number of games clause.

Parker has looked decent when given an opportunity- now might be his time

It worked out well enough for Ben Davies when he got an opportunity.

I think so too and wrote it here few times, but there might be something behind the scene, maybe Key’s position within the squad hierarchy or something else, that prevents Parker from playing. So sending him on a loan might benefit everyone.

I'd recall Congreave ahead of him. Not even a regular for Portsmouth
