The January 2026 Transfer Window

[Tomphil2]

They'll be crazy if they don't sign Baradji to be honest even if they do flog him again in summer.

Good business by the middlemen to be fair but crap for fans and team building if he's only passing through in the agents vehicle BRFC.

We better enjoy him whilst we can.

How do you prepare to activate a clause?

You either do it or you don’t. 

Like we prepared for the January window 🤷‍♂️

Maybe they can explain their understanding of the deal. I was under the impression that everything had effectively been agreed before the loan.

He'll have played for 2 teams this season so, assuming the rules carry over to Europe too, he wouldn't be able to play for anyone else. 

Thanks - forgot about that 😌

Two-year deal is pointless, just guarantees we sell him this summer or next summer. I wish we supported a club who actually tried to build a squad and not just line agent pockets.

Furthermore, its clearly the usual desperation and unwillingness to sign anyone in Jan. Baradji is the easy deal since it's already agreed, but they'll try to point to it and tell the fans "look we are signing players".

Good deal, but pathetic by the club.

2 year deal for a £1.5m player would be ridiculous even for us.

But a story saying that we are "preparing" to sign a player for a pre agreed fee is a non story.

Speculative roll of the dice, calculated bullshit, you'll get something right one day.

He's been ordinary, and that's being kind, but the agents and middlemen will still get paid!

[DutchRover]

TGH is definition if average squad player.

But wouldn't he need to basically half his salary for our arbitrary wage cap? He's supposed to be on more than 15k at B'ham no?

Its an old story from a month ago (the date is on the twitter post), to support the post I replied to that stated "But a story saying that we are "preparing" to sign a player for a pre agreed fee is a non story"

The TGH permanent deal was obviously also a non story

 

But for the record, Id not sign him either, I personally would have sent him back if the option was there

Further update.  Deal is now close and it's a forward.  Will happen either tonight or tomorrow.  From Brockhall.

Well if he'd predicted someone would sign almost every other day in January before today he'd have been wrong.

If it turns out someone is unveiled tonight or in the morning then obviously there was something in it.

In fairness to TGH, didn't Blues fans really rate him in league one?

Is there a slight difference between the 2 posts in that on the Baradji one, Rover Xtra is claiming it as his/her own story (ditto the Cashin one) whereas with the TGH one he/she is simply regurgitating a rumour from someone else?

The Baradji story is also credited elsewhere isn't it? (transferfeedcom)

They'll offer him less but a longer contract that's how they seem to do things.

If you are correct, then fairs, but if you are wrong don’t post this bs again.

Cadamarteri? Wasn't he linked last week?

He’ll only be correct through the fact everyone knows we want a forward and that sooner or later we’ll probably sign one (of questionable quality) so it’s a fairly obvious guess to make. And then he’ll dine out on it for years allowing him to peddle more absolute tripe

So your initial post says a new signing processed/unveiled at brockhall today then your update says a deal is close……..which is it

a done deal as initially suggested or not?
