    Transfer Rumours The January 2026 EFL transfer window opens on January 1st and closes on February 2nd

    my understanding of him is that he broke into the team young and looked promising, but never really kicked on. Bit like Meslier at Leeds. No idea if he is an upgrade on Baz, but I don’t think he’s hit the levels people were predicting he would when he first broke into the Sunderland team

    I wonder if Patterson from Sunderland fancies a second half of the season loan? Would be first choice here and is firmly second choice at Sunderland

    think we have an obligation to buy Jelert if we get promoted. Sure it looks very unlikely atm but might make sending him back tricky

    yeah but we aren’t going to be doing that unless there is serious interest in him so we can sell him.

    Not really been following our loanees, I know Bree is doing well. What about ABK, Smallbone and Taylor? All of them are out of contract in the summer as well I think so we could get a small fee for each of them if their loans are going well and the loan club want to just get the deal done rather...

    Having just looked him up I also find it crazy how long McCarthy has been here. He has been team mates with Hojbjerg and Van Dijk in his time at Saints. If he sees out his contract he will have been here for 10 years

    Aribo is out of contract at the end of the season, I wonder if we’d just let him go for nothing to save some money on wages. Imagine he is one of our higher earners. Won’t be a given he’d leave anyway as he won’t earn more anywhere else, in terms of a weekly wage anyway, and he’d have offers in...

    As always the problem in Jan is who is available/cost of a player midway through the season. The best bet is if there is a player who is out of contract end of season and the selling club are happy to take some sort of fee rather than lose them for nothing. Loan for a keeper is much more...

    Your first point I’m not too sure about. Depends if we buy or loan a keeper. I think if we go up then Ramsdale may stay for a season at least. No chance though if we don’t. He’s clearly number 2 at Newcastle so unless that changes between now and the end of the season I don’t think he’ll he too...

    Burrow would probably just retire if that happened, which would be very Vikings. Not sure where this stuff is coming from that he wants out of Cinci, seems like they’ve done everything they can to keep him happy (extending all the people he was moaning about potentially losing and giving him a...

    Match Day Thread Tondalution v Lampard 12:30pm 20th December

    Can see it being like the other games where we get a big first half lead then chill for the second half. Whether Cov can go one better than WBA and get at least a point after battering us for the second half remains to be seen

    The Premier League Thread

    We will be keeping a fair chunk of the squad if we go up. We just need to be open to the idea that nobody in the team is a “oh we have xxxx we don’t need another player in that position”. There are potential upgrades to every single player in the team so we have to be actively trying to get them...

    Typical Vikings. Probably win out now and end up with no playoffs and the 18th pick. Wilfs will say “showed improvement” amd extend everyone’s contracts
