The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread

Perhaps you should be more bothered to take notice. Uppa Jacks

Fair enough--looks like he's only been in the squad thrice since Matos was appointed, today, Oxford and Coventry.

Not surprisingly transfermarket doesn't have correct information on him.

Getting a few injuries. Looks like Idah is out for a few months.
Cullen injured and now waiting on reports back for Key and Ronald.
Looks like we might need an extra body or 2 on top of our original plans.

Agreed I know the owners said a quiet Janaury but maybe they might have to think otherwise about that now.

With Idah out for months I think another St has to be on the shopping list aswell as a 10 and RW.

Tricky with the centre forward issue. Personally I’d wait until the end of the window until they know the timeframe with Idah. Make a decision then if they want to loan Wales out and bring someone else in.

We have options also with bringing loan players back but we need to make sure what would be best all round in that scenario.
We have Nzingo coming back who has played a lot of his loan spell on the right and left of midfield aswell as a Striker.

How has he done out in the US?

He's done ok from what I have read, not seen any matches as they are hard to view in the league he is playing. Only seen some highlights.
Stats show he has 8 goals from 25 games.

Is he playing top tier MLS? Excuse my ignorance, I’ve got not idea what he’s done.

No, it's a feeder league to the MLS.

That might be too big a gap to bridge then.

Is that the guy from the MLS 2nd division?

I'd try and get him a loan to the conference and go from there. As for playing in the championship I think that would be wayy too much for him.

He has six months left on his contract. Besides that I think his level is a bit higher than non league football

2nd tier MLS is probably worse than Conference football to be honest

We sent him out on loan as he was too good for the development league
His level is clearly above conference football

The loan duration was a strange one admittedly, from winter window to winter window but I think thats more to do with the oddities of the MLS seasons than anything else

 

[SwanseaBoy123]

It wouldnt suprise me if the club called back Bianchini from loan and used him as a placeholder backup St until Idah + Cullen are back from Injury imo.
