January 2027 transfer window

[trousers]

Just one objective for Spors and Sport Republic in this coming transfer window...

Sign another Larin and we'll be favourites for automatic promotion....

Fail to sign such a player, and it's the play offs....

It's as simple as that...

Proper number 9 backup

Proper centre back starter (alongside Schlotterbeck)

Get Jay Robinson back

Thank you.

[Harry_SFC]

I would

- Sign a Larin alternative and send Mubama back to Man City

- Recall Robinson and bin off Edozie

- Sign another CB if the opportunity is there

[RedArmy]

I can understand the calls to bring Jay Robinson back (do we even have a recall on him?) but for whatever reason Tonda doesn’t rate him. Pointless to bring him back for 3 minute cameos.

I would rather try and get Brooks again. A winger that can play on both sides and likes to play direct with the ball. I know he’s a bit older now but he’s the perfect fit for me and not getting much of a game this season.

Striker is obvious and if that's the only position we strengthen then fine. If I were being picky then another winger with pace would be nice. Roerslev is nowhere and Bree can't play every game as the season goes on so perhaps improvement at RB too. A better CB would be the icing on the cake.

We're looking at promotion, we need to have one eye on that to improve the team/squad for when we get there, and if we don't then, heck, we are stronger next season even though we could potentialy lose Jander, Fin and Leo over the summer if bids come in.

A striker,  yes but who?

We could try for Chris Wood on loan from Forest

[Kenilworthy1959]

How about Kyle Wootton from Stockport County?

Not sure that's true.

It another Larin, in style and ability, or playoffs it is. 

[Teamsaint1]

if money is tight, we can likely get away with an adequate CF back up. Anybody even  half decent should score plenty with the chances the rest can create, and give Larin the time off that he needs in three game weeks.

A centre forward to cover and compete with Larin for a starting slot is a must.  I'd probably keep Mubama if we can afford to but relegate him to 4th choice behind Dobbin. 

A times I feel we need another more physical defensive midfielder to provide cover and an alternative in some games  -  but with Downes, Jander, JWP, Bragg and possibly Williams in the mix I am not sure we'll bring one in despite rumours we are looking for another CM.

Dobbin it seems can provide cover all across the front three but also gives us the option of playing a second striker in a 4-4-2 but I think we could do with another option out wide as neither Fellows or Edozie seem to be good enough at the moment or real alternatives to Scienza and Matsuki. Plus Dobbin looks much better as a striker.

I still don't see that we really have any real cover for Azaz in the Number 10 position apart from Matsuki who is needed out wide on the left at the moment.  Dobbin looked out of place as a number 10 so maybe that is something else they need to look at.  

Could they find an Attacking Midfielder who can cover 10 and out wide?

The other must is finding some proper cover at right back - whether that is re-integrating Roerselv, giving Abbot a proper go there or bringing in someone else.

I have a feeling we will see some player go before anyone comes in though.

Wonder if Chelsea would consider loaning us Emmanuel Emegha. He's from the Netherlands and is a 23 year old 6'5" striker who joined them this season but is getting no game time. They paid 25m Euros for him so might be up for loaning him out to give him some games.

[Lighthouse]

If DM doesn't get his arse in gear in the next couple of months, I'd certainly be on the look out for someone to replace him, if there's a player available who offers a bit more. That said we're the best team in the league results wise so far this season, so if we do go the full campaign with what we've got, there's absolutely no reason it's, "playoffs at best". We've got the best GD in the league, have only failed to score in one game and are the third top scorers, which is heavily skewed by West Ham winning a couple of 6-0s.
