Re: January Transfer Window
I think now that he’s staying at least until the summer he will still get plenty of minutes here. Does seem to make a lot more sense to play him on the left where he is more comfortable though

Re: January Transfer Window
Andy Hunter saying that Moyes wanted more players in the window to push for Europe, but the club hierarchy preferred to keep more money for the summer window and the longterm rebuild.
Re: January Transfer Window
Right decision imo, better players and more options will be available in the summer... We all know what we need and the chances of getting it right long term increase massively by doing our business then.Bluedylan1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 03, 2026 11:15 am Andy Hunter saying that Moyes wanted more players in the window to push for Europe, but the club hierarchy preferred to keep more money for the summer window and the longterm rebuild.
Re: January Transfer Window
All the more reason to completely nail the signings for these positions though imo.
I'd rather get a really good player for each side that genuinely takes us forward as a team for the long term than pick from limited options and not address the issues as well as would otherwise.
I agree it's a hard watch at times but a bit more short term pain for long term gain is acceptable to me.
Re: January Transfer Window
Fair but they had that chance last summer as well and completely blew it. It'd be different if we had a competent fullback that got injured for the rest of the seaosn but it's not like they haven't had the chances to properly find one. If I'm Moyes then I'm not sure I'd have much faith in that being addressed in the summer after the mess the made of the last summer.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 03, 2026 12:30 pm All the more reason to completely nail the signings for these positions though imo.

In a world where Fulham and Brentford are currently favourites for a European position then I'm not sure waiting for the summer is the best move. Wasted opportunity imo.

Re: January Transfer Window
Genuinely a little amazed we couldn’t even find a loan or loan to buy for the fullback situation. Got to have been some players looking to get more time ahead of the World Cup.
Given the league as it is, this season is a good opportunity. Teams like Spurs and Newcastle will eventually spend enough to correct themselves and it becomes an even tougher job to get into the European places given the even bigger clubs who usually dominate are going to be taking up most of the available spaces.

Re: January Transfer Window
We've got 2 domestic loans now so I'm guessing that reduced the number of available full backs who were both achievable on loan and also good enough to hit the ground running.blueToffee wrote: ↑Tue Feb 03, 2026 1:23 pm Genuinely a little amazed we couldn’t even find a loan or loan to buy for the fullback situation.

Not a lot to be gained loaning a sub standard full back who would take 6 months to get up to speed with the league.

Re: January Transfer Window
Forest and West Ham are the 2 clubs that really stand out on that list IMO.

Re: January Transfer Window
Net spend is our signings in against our signings out.
so basically we’ve spent £14m more than we brought in.
