TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD (JAN 2026)

Fri Jan 02, 2026 6:54 pm

Thought I'd start a thread for people to discuss potential transfers during this window, yes most are probably bollocks but I enjoy the fun of seeing who we're linked with, here's the newest one doing the rounds

Saw that one earlier. The name rings a bell so may have been linked with a transfer somewhere in the summer.

BBM was asked about a Leicester player that has been at Newport after the Wycombe game but said there was nothing in it.

Yea Sammy braybrooke, Leicester recalled him from Newport as they want him to go to league 1 but like you say bbm denied we were interested

I’m predicting BBM has targeted three signings this January Transfer Window, if talk is correct

No names at this point, and as ever, none of us truly knows whether they will come off at this point, but I understand he has specific players in mind

I fully expect him to be backed by the owner, if they can be gotten over the line, and maybe the first will be Biancheri from ManUre, based only on the timing of his visit to the stadium last week? :ayatollah:

We, are now at the business end of the season. I would hope to sigh someone with more experience than Biancheri.
Whether Tan will cough up is another matter.

If there's a player available whos going to strengthen our squad then age isn't important for me

Luey Giles and will spiers have Gone on loan to national league side Eastleigh

Re: TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD (JAN 2026)

It could be an interesting month with many rumours linking us with players especially as we are top of the league pushing for promotion.

I think a LB and a striker should be priority.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD (JAN 2026)

the fact giles has gone out on loan means we surely be finally getting that left back we have needed for last 3 seasons

Rees from Merthyr signed for forest green..2 goals on his debut. Prolific scorer, we could have taken a low cost gamble here. Won't miss the chances that sallach and Robinson does.

People said that about Eoin Doyle.

Doyle exceptional score rate in every club he played, even with us when we had a piss poor side

People have said the same about many players, some have failed and some have succeeded, it's usually a gamble whoever you buy but this guys stats are fantastic and I wish we'd taken a gamble on him as a backup to Salech and Robinson.

All strikers miss chances but it's how many they score that counts not how many they miss, unless they're not scoring at all obviously.

True, but this Rees will probably go nowhere with his career. That's normally the case.

It's not long ago that people wanted us to sign Paul Mullin.

Delusional if they are after Robertson. They couldnt afford him and why would he move to a side certain for relegation when he has the chance to be in a promotion side and the Championship next year.

Currently playing in the derby game for brum v coventry he is not going to drop down to us,
Brum 2 coventry 1 so far,
sounds like a good game.

If there was anything in the Lisbie rumour then he’s currently playing his way to a move

Goal and assist today

Re: TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD (JAN 2026)

Sun Jan 04, 2026 6:13 pm

I was at the game as I live in Lincoln I watched him carefully looked a decent player but no better than what we’ve got in that position imo

Didn't realise he was Emile's son, I should have put 2 and 2 together I guess.

Seen a few Championship clubs want him so not sure we'll get him, but one to keep an eye on.

It's probably because something clearly went on between him and BBM a few months back, when he wasn't playing
