The January 2026 Transfer Window

[DE.]

Whilst I definitely agree that Ohashi has been run in the ground and it will affect his wider game, I don't think it's the reason he's missed some absolutely glaring opportunities. I just don't think he's a hugely composed finisher. He can score some solid goals, just not consistently. With that said, I also don't think being an out-and-out striker is his best role. If he was playing across the forward line, scoring 7-10 a season whilst we had a proper striker up top converting chances more regularly, it wouldn't be an issue. I actually think we were starting to see that with the Gudjohnsen/Ohashi partnership before Gudjohnsen got injured.

We need an Armstrong like striker that has some pace and stretch the field. The counter style with the 4-2-3-1 is the way but need to get some pace in the team badly.

A week of the window left… any inbound players linked?

Are you completely mad?

Gestede will be having a mini-hissy fit because a) there was a definite impact of the boycott at the game on Saturday and that means he will be under scrutiny and b) he definitely reads this forum and his stupid schoolboy ego will want someone to bash to compensate for all the hurtful things people say about his teensy weensy ikkle football brain which we all can see is weak and shrivelled and about as much use as clingfilm would have been in saving the Titanic.

Pasha will be chuckling mildly in that clearly slightly unhinged way he exhibits when caught in the limelight, because after all, he knows there is nothing to do because the coffers that he allows small change to be dropped into are now completely empty.

Unless you know different, it seems more likely that there will be outgoings rather than incomings, to balance the dodgy 'surface' books (the real accounts being something only those behind the curtains in Madame's smoking parlour in Pune get to pore over).

And anyway, hasn't the crazy bumbling frog uttered the magical words, "Players coming back from 'injury' (yeah right)..?"

 

So,don't hold your breath old bean. Call foul instead.
