Winter-January 2026 Transfer Window Rumours ...

I would hope that we get 1 or 2 through the door (or should that be window 🤭) by the end of next week.2

Absolutely don’t want to lose Kayne, but having watched him this season I do think we’d struggle to say no to a significant offer.
He’s absolutely got the traits to be top-quality Championship footballer, but he is still adjusting to this level.That being said, a player with his profile (fast/strong/pretty good on the ball/defensively excellent) is very hard to replace, especially in this league.1 -
I'd be tempted to take anything getting above the £4m+ level. Is a very good player but right now we need to focus on the short-term and I'm sure we could find a replacement + 1 other for that amount of money.1

I’d hope so too, he’s put in some good performances at the level, it would need to be a big sum to soften the blow.fenaddick said:
I'd be holding out for a fairly large sum. He's still under contract until the end of next season and he's very hard to replaceSword65pf said:If the Kayne rumours were true, how much makes us blink on this one??1 -
I don't think Ramsay will extend his contract.
I would be delighted if he did, but I think he has ambitions of a higher level, with his age and abilities, I suspect he will wait until the summer, where he won't be shy of options, and his agent will know that as well.
We would need to stay up to keep him I imagine, and even then, other clubs will line up with a bigger offer.
If the club manage to get him to extend in January then fair bloody play, I just can't see it.7 -
Is Kieron Bowie worth a punt?0

It's not realistic to expect ANY of our key players to extend their contracts at the moment, as the likes of Ramsay and Jones won't want to be playing L1 next season.
Indeed I doubt the club are even trying at the moment.4 -
They should be trying. And if the players back themselves then the club can let them have a release clause in the contract that activates on relegation, I assume Jones had a similar one for if we didn't go up at the end of last season.

I’m pretty sure any extension, would have an inbuilt release clause in it. That suits the club and player as it’s agreed by both. If the player makes it clear he wants to go then should just sell for the right money.Braziliance said:I don't think Ramsay will extend his contract.

With respect to Lloyd Jones though, as he is my favourite and imo our most important player, his value isn't the same as Ramsay.fenaddick said:

Jones wouldn't and won't get the kind of offers Kayne will cause of his age and ceiling.
Ramsay will be one of the hottest free agents in the summer in this league, I genuinely reckon every team in the league will want him, even as a back up option.
In my mind I have accepted he has already gone, similar to Thierry.5 -

This is when we find out the true ambition of our owners, unless he got a prem move or to a parachute payment relegated side, and we stay up, anything else is a sideways move, if ee stump up the wages.If a player wants to move he will, Small being the most recent example, the dynamic is slightly different with Ramsey, he came from Harrogate and is building his career, Small rated himself a lot more I’d imagine.Braziliance said:

Linked to Wolves in the last couple of days. Fairly ordinary scoring record for Northampton in L1 before going north of the border.Gisappointed said:Is Kieron Bowie worth a punt?0 -
I am annoyed that everyone knew we needed a LWB three months ago, or perhaps earlier when Edwards was injured. Is it too hard to put together a list and have someone on board at the beginning of January rather when the window slams shut.
That's potentially five league games and a prestigious cup match where we are likely to play an inverted winger at LWB who can't cross with his left foot towards our 6'6" centre forward.
Without seeing the list I'd rather our 3rd choice now, rather than our 1st choice on 31st.
Or FFS play 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 to suit the players we have in the building.4 -
Transfers don’t work like that. It’s not just a case of I want this player here is offer and then sign the contract. Most clubs will want to get replacements in before letting people out the door.Gisappointed said:I am annoyed that everyone knew we needed a LWB three months ago, or perhaps earlier when Edwards was injured.

Piece of piss isnt it... Finding a club who are happy to let us have a competent Left Wing-Back this early in the January Transfer Window, who isn't some inexperienced kid... The earlier we manage to get someone, without paying a ridiculous amount of money raises massive concerns, as you've got to ask why that club are happy to let their player leave, without first finding their own replacement.Gisappointed said:I am annoyed that everyone knew we needed a LWB three months ago, or perhaps earlier when Edwards was injured.

I'd rather we signed the next version of Matt Penney to be fair, at least we'd have someone through the door7

Ah, that time of the year my fellow lifers message each other the likes of " Has the RadostanRadical shared any transfer news yet?", "I wont believe it until the RR has confirmed, he is always ITK" and "In a dark and bleak world polluted with fake news only RR can be seen as a shining beacon of truth".
Anyway the point is im in the know and you all think im a hero, ill accept that responsibility. Unlike others who speculate here and elsewhere about transfers liek a dodgy medium, I deal only in facts. Remember Knibbs? I broke it first that he was a reading player, the deal was on and off and then on again merely moments within the club announcing it. Anyway all my plaudits aside let me get in to some news -
We are currently in discussion(s) with a number of players, at least one but also possibly a few more than one. When I am in a position to name these players you will be shocked by the quality (good or bad) of these targets, others may be content as well football is all about opinions (right or wrong) after all. These player(s) could be in imminently at a minimum but will be signed by 1st Feb at a maximum. So you can all sleep easy now and no doubt my followers i will share more with my flock as and when I can. I accept your thanks for your devotion.20 -

Oh, perfect then. Looks like he is staying for the rest of the season and if we stay up we will have him for one more year.fenaddick said:

I can't see us selling unless the offer is insane.
Unlucky Ramsay mate.

Offer Ramsay whatever he likes (within reason) wage-wise. An extra 10k a week (which might be lofty indeed) over four years is £2m. We are very unlikely to sign someone quite as good for that sort of money. He is 25 and the sort of player we need to build a defence and team around over the next few years.15

If Ramsey says he won't sign a new contract, which is definitely an option, i'm confident we would cash in on him next summer.Braziliance said:
