Should we be staring our 2026 Transfer Thread to cover January and the summer?

Here's one to kick off.

I hope we can keep them in January despite big financial pressure. The summer could be much tougher although getting back to the Championship will help us.

It’s inevitable he’ll go but doubt it’ll be mid season.

If Lawlor goes to a PL club what’s the betting he’ll be in the U-21’s like Biancheri at Man U or be loaned out like Crew who’s on loan at League 1 Doncaster?

I could see Lawlor being treated differently due to his experience with us and international games. He is already highly thought of. The two you mentioned were very inexperienced before moving on.

Kpakio would also be in the same bracket as Lawlor.

They have both signed long term contracts which makes them a lot more valuable than Biancheri and Crew who were nicked for peanuts, like others before them, as on academy contracts when leaving.

Looks less than bang average from his stats.

86 games, 2 goals and a few assists. Mo Salah he is not.

He has a Palestinian back ground. Jourmo sees that and thinks, "Hmm, another Salech".

Not a January signing, but as good a place as any to post it.

Cardiff City have tied down young goalkeeper Luke Armstrong to a new long-term contract.

The 19-year-old has agreed fresh terms that will keep him in the Welsh capital until the summer of 2028, extending a stay that began when he joined the club from Wolves at the age of 16.

Good news. Another young prospect signed up for a longer term.

If the vultures start to circle it will cost them a nice sum.

Good forward thinking. As I said last week we are doing a good job in protecting our assets unlike a few years ago.

I hope it isnt one of Tan's picks.
BBM hasnt gone to Tan for many signings. Hope he'll say 'NO' if it isnt someone he wants. We need more goals from out wide, but any signing needs to be better than Ashford, Zac, Willock and Tanner to be considered.

If they’re quicker than those you mentioned then that would be an asset. Someone with genuine pace would be devastating on the break.

Saw that earlier. Back after Christmas will do us fine. Liked what BBM said. Something along the lines of "if we could sign Tanner as new player in January, we'd be deighted".

Just easing him in off the bench for those 10, 15, 20 minute spells will add to the pressure on the opposition. Him running against tiring legs will cause problems for them. Another like him for the other side would be nice come January.

Thinking about the teams that BBM is putting out recently and its not just random rotation. I'm sure he's picking teams based on the opposition. The core tenet of how he wants the game played remains, but flexing it based on how the other team plays. A more physical side for Stevenage. A more direct 10, and experience at RB and CB.
It's the reference to rugby and the 'finishers' that was made some time ago. Do the hard graft in the first 60, then wind the pressure up. Sometimes its legs early on to stretch and tire the opponents then a bit more direct at the close or just fresh legs with more of the same. Other times, its front up to a more physical side then look for a bit of quality.

With games coming thick and fast its also about keeping things fresh. Possibly the experience of Ng and Chambers who would cope with the physical side of Stevenage better than Lawlor and Kpakio. The same with Colwill jnr at 10 compared with Kellyman.
Perhaps the flair will be in from the off against Donny who seem to ship a few.

Just listened to BBM's interview. I could have saved myself speculating on a few things if I'd listened to it first.<laugh>
Sounds as if 3 of the young guns will be going out on loan.
Who plays 10 does depend on the opposition.

BBM does sound open and straight on most subjects. Not sure about his take on his involvement in transfers though. He must have input to ins and outs, surely. It might not influence the decision, but I can't believe he's totally bypassed. I also don't believe he would stay long if the crown jewels were sold from under him without consultation.
