The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

I’d give him time.

His positioning to capitalise on the keeper’s mistake on Friday was clever. He stepped slightly back so he couldn’t have a foul given against him.

Wash your mouth out about the Leeds thing btw!!

I met someone last week in the park when taking my dog out whose dog was called Mot because he was a Leeds fan (the bloke that is, not the dog - the dog looked more tasteful than that).

If Idah wasn't there to tap it in, our coaching staff would've shot him with a sniper rifle.. you're the furthest forward, follow up, it's not clever.. he's been taught it since age 7

I told my boy similar.
He said it was just a tap in but I said that he was there to tap it in, he was playing the small percentages that something might fall despite the high chances of the goalkeeper dealing with it.....he didn't and Idah took advantage of it for both himself and the team.

The Leeds thing is rather complicated, I was brought up in the shadow of Elland Road, however I chose Swansea as my team (because they beat Leeds 5-1), however still live in Leeds and my daughter is a big Leeds fan (obivously I like them as well).

Lot's of Swansea links with Leeds in the past few years, Dan James obivously, Joe Rodon (he was fantastic last night against Palace), Joe Piroe, Connor Roberts, Pablo Hernandez (he was sublime for 5 years at Leeds).

My grandad watched Leeds home and away in the 60's & 70's and he always said that John Charles was the best player he ever saw play football, back in the 1990's I used to go in Peter Lorrimer's pub before games and John Charles was usually sat at the bar entertaining the Leeds fans, he such a good guy (shame he never played for Swansea).

Wonder how much it would take for us to sell Galbraith next month? He's our most valuable player, and I'm pretty confident he's Premier League quality already - would expect £12m+ in the Summer, got to be pushing 16 or so in Jan?

Galbraith is tall, strong and can jump?

He can actually jump well and has won a few headers but he’s definitely not tall, he’s strong enough not to be knocked off the ball also

So what about the three defenders that just stood there and watched him react the quickest.

Are you Chris Sharman from SCFC2?

Is Galbraith Premier League quality??

He is good, very good, however not sure any Premier teams would be looking to sign him right now.

Which Premier League team would he command a starting position?

No, he isn't.
He might make it if he keeps developing but he's 25 at the end of the season so he's hardly a youngster.
If a PL club were interested it would in all probability be a newly promoted, relegation fighting club. He'd earn lots of money to sit on the bench in my view.

Exactly how I feel. Ethan has all the skills to make it in the top flight, just not fully yet as it were. Total waste of his career to go to the Prem right now and not even play all that much. Would he improve Wolves, Burnley, and the others at the bottom? Sure but again I think needs another season of conditioning at least.

Hopefully with us!

Absolutely, timing is critical for Ethan, or risk being another Flynn Downes.

It will be curious to see how much our current regime wants to do this January. Under Matos, I personally am not overly worried about any kind of relegation battle anymore, but do we have enough about us to make a stab towards the playoffs?

Need to keep Vipotnik by all means possible regardless on what the owners think and need to strengthen our bench also, even if via loans.

Unlucky, get goal side of the attacker, they didn't

Didn't get chance because our centre forward was alert and quicker to the ball.
