January Transfer Window 25/26

Not much to do to this squad. Definitely think the main idea would be a winger of sorts, but Mundle could make that obsolete.

Use the loan market and acquire the best teens money can buy to fill our squad and use in the 21's before being loaned out or bedded in to the first team.

 

Wouldn’t mind a Dan Neil replacement, someone he fancies using for longer than 5 mins. Him and cirkin contract situation just went silent

 

Wouldn’t be a shock if there was bids for some of the players we signed in the summer, they’ve been that good! Sadiki must have top clubs sniffing already. His potential is scary at 20 y/o

 

Unfortunately true. However if we are still doing well I can see ALL of the players wanting to grow as a team together. SAFC have took them all on and some may well see us as a stepping stone but I believe loyalty will count for a lot.

 

I like mundle, hope he plays this season. However I'm not sure hes going to be a deciding factor at all in terms of if we sign another winger - want to see a left footed right winger come in.

 

I still think Traore will be decent tbh, short term anyway

 

One thing that's for sure, absolutely no one other than the club know who we're looking at, tracking or going after

 

Thought he was very good against Chelsea. Looked a lot better connected with his teammates than previous games and caused Chelsea problems.

 

Agreed. I’m more than happy for him to stay in the side currently

 

I think there’ll be serious interest in Mayenda. His potential is huge and he probably hasn’t played as much as he would’ve liked up to now in the PL… Sides may test us.

 

He should get a run of games during AFCON as Traore and Talbi will be gone.

 

Aye, personally believe he’s more of a threat off the right anyway

 

Newcastle starting the rejection process early I see.

 

He's fine, we do however have no long term option at right wing and nobody during afcon other than starting Mayenda there - it would make sense to be back in for some of the previously rumoured targets like Dario Osorio.

I also think the club are of the same opinion in terms of signing about winger, don't think Traore was their ideal option at all this summer.

 

Yep, big bonuses for league placing etc, confernce league placing. Not gettting ahead here, but they should be in the contracts to give folks a financial reason to stick around (in addition to the normal relegation clauses too...)

 

Aye I think better cover/the emerging version is a big thing - Xhaka and left back for me presuming Neil and Cirkin go as expected.
