The January 2026 Transfer Window

[KentExile]

left footed winger who normally plays on the right, meant to be fairly quick, assume he was cheaper than Cleary

The player himself looks a decent player but you have to question where does he fit

isnt a striker and we don’t play wingers 

if we have blew our budget on an attacking winger and not a striker then I give up 

however if we back this up with a half competent striker then it looks a good signing

Maybe means Alebiosu is going to be sold

I think a few should apologise to @Mercer 

Apparently was at STC yesterday.

He’s started 14 of 17 league games for Toulouse, would be strange for them to loan him out, must be a permanent?

[Elrovers]

From the clips ive seen. Mainly a right wing back. Fairly solid to be fair but can he do it in the championship m. Let’s hope so.

Yeah I’m one of them. Fair play.

[ElTwis]

Good work Mercer. If you're right about this can we assume you're also right about the bid for the club and all is going to be well?

He's a funny character. His looks are abit Geordie shore 😅 Will have the whitest teeth in Lancashire

[Elrovers]

Has also played in the Europa league. Just info if anyone didn’t know.

He’s pretty much versatile. Can play on the right hand side, even played in the 10 role of the formation we play. Left midfield he can play too. 

All bar the position we’re crying out for which was deemed a priority - now we have signed a cb and versatile player who mainly plays on the wing

If he's a RWB, why is it a good signing when Alebiosu plays there? Seems completely pointless.

Yep

Notice his wife plays for Man U Women. Not an obvious consideration but maybe something to consider as the women's game grows, if their partners play they'll likely prefer to be based in the same area

God knows 

[sverrehh]

His lady is playing for Manchester united and they are expecting their first child in May... I smell a permanent!

As soon as I read can play wingback my first thought was they're going to sell Alebiosu. Unless it's planned hes a LWB.

After his loan with us is finished?

[briansol]

Wow, Dønnum is a suprise signing. 

Suprised they managed to get him, as he's far more established profile than the usual Gestede bingo.

Established for the national team, lot's of experience as well. Dropping to lower Championship from top half French League as well in a World Cup year. 

Spent most of his early career as a right winger with a decent goal return. But I know he's played wing-back for Toulouse so probably flexible. 

Bit of a character, good work-rate, can dribble and a good left foot for deliveries. Think the fans will take to him. 

Good addition, but would be suprised if they seem him as a striker.

Unless there's other plans for Alebiosu...

Good point, I actually think could have been a major factor.

Alebiosu not likely going to be here next season / if he gets injured again this season there’s adequate back up 

but my main issue as outlined we need a striker an this shouldn’t be championed as one of the two strikers that we need
