January Transfer Window 2026

[s20Blade]

We will be looking to scrape safety while trying to cash-in on Hamer and send some expensive loans back. It will be a money saving exercise.

3 months away but planning will be in place... I reckon we need at least 3 new signings and offload a few? No matter what position were in, we need at least 3 in! (No midfielder needed if Arblaster comes back fine and Davies stays fit)

RB
W
ST (Big twat)

Im happy to send back Bindon and Barry if performances dont improve or they aren't needed. Players like Ukaki, Nwachukwu and Marsh can go out on loan.

Thoughts?

No point getting another striker in unless we go two up top as he'll just be another bench warmer, but we must give it a go.

We definitely need a big nasty midfield destroyer to replace Souza. Someone that's athletic enough to be box to box and to cover for us having two up top and 1 less in midfield.

I doubt Soumare is going back (not that its relevant as we won't go up at this point) but wasn't it a loan to buy?

JTW is a long way away, Wilder needs to get some performances out of these players over the next 3 months, as this squad is better than its performances. if we are still bottom 3 in January we will be properly screwed and unlikely to buy our way out of that.

Send back loans who aren't playing, get some youngsters out on loan (both for development, game time and bring them back in the summer with a spring in their step or to be sold), maybe bring in a RB or CF if either an experienced player can be identified or genuine young talent is available.

Assuming this squad gets itself sorted, I would rather we saved our pennies for next summer rather than wasting money in January on what I hope will end up being a low to mid table finish anyway.

Selles 433 formation didn't work as we didn't have the players in midfield for it. It also was made worse by inverted wingers creating nothing.

Since Wilder has been back 3511 or what ever it is, has improved things a bit but not enough yet. Last season after Souttar got injured our performances were poor and we were very lucky in some games to get 3 points despite creating very little. Portsmouth and Plymouth games at home were that way but of course our luck ran out over the 3 game in a row loss. We were playing 4231 with Souttar and Souza being the dominant players.

Under Selles our back 4 looked terrible. They defended too narrow and gave up space outwide. Tanganga is more skillful than Souttar but Souttar was a great organiser. The organisation is being left to McGuinness who is a pound shop imitation. We can get away with it if we strengthen midfield as a lot of the players in there take too much out of the ball. Arblaster or a Tommy Doyle is required.

This season just shows that decision making, organisation and drive that propels team performance isn't about selecting the best players but about the best fit for the team.

If we're still struggling after xmas we can't trust Wilder to blow another few million on duds, we'll need someone in who can stave off relegation and bring sensible signings in to shape our future

The only faintest of irrational faint hopes is that the owners are prepared to speculate again but they've copped bloody noses with Cannon & Matos so it's doubtful.
From what you read on here , it's not even certain that they've fully paid the Prince yet , so there could be all sorts of financial shenanigans to come.
Strap in for a very bumpy ride along the bottom.

I think Prince will be looking to get the club back at a highly discounted price now the parachute payments have ran out and the Americans will want to start again with a differentclub abroad.
