Winter-January 2026 Transfer Window Rumours ...

They have. But their window hasn’t been dissimilar to what we did in the summer. Player that were a success in League One. Donley, McDonnell. Let’s see how they bed in over a longer period.MickeyBennett said:
Fair play to Oxford, really went for it in the windowWoolwichAddick said:Oxford mate said McDonnell looked awesome against Leicester. Can’t help think that’s the sort of signing we ought to have made to address midfield1 -
Not the same type of player and Coventry has so much more experience, not writing Coventry off, it's only in the last three games have I questioned him, that may be down to an injury though.Themightyath2 said:
Cov hasn’t been great of late, but have you watched Anderson’s attempts to deputise for him!!Bailey said:
I have watched Derby's first goal and Coventry tracks the goal scorer without ever making a challenge, Burke comes across too late and they score. Both were benched yesterday and rightly so.Chunes said:
Agree he's been bad. NJ has called him out for letting people run off him. At the same time, I've never asked that Karoy replace him. We could use someone better, but that area is not the biggest of our issues right now.Carl_bratton said:
The dropping of Coventry is one of the only things I agree with right now, been awfulRonnieMoore said:
Come on …. We are in silly season now Coventry is leagues better than Dobson … and has been since the day we signed him … Coventry was the only player we had any enquiry about in the summer …Chunes said:
Coventry is fine but he was never an upgrade on Dobson.CaptainRobbo said:
That Dobson lad at Wrexham looks okCallumcafc said:
One of those players can be Coventry in the short to medium term - we need someone who can compliment him, good with their positioning and can pick a pass up the field to relieve some pressure.Scoham said:
We need to improve on the ball too, we need more than a better version of Anderson.NabySarr said:Our midfield is too soft. Would rather sign some physicality in there than a playmaker. Don’t think Costello won a 50:50 all game today, that’s why he’s not been playing0 -
Jones apparently alluded to Coventry playing through an injury, even more baffling that he's ostracised Docherty IMO11

Do we know how long Bell is out for? Really think he’s the key for us staying up.9

I thought Jones comments yesterday suggested he won’t be out for too longPelling1993 said:Do we know how long Bell is out for? Really think he’s the key for us staying up.8 -
Then he will make one appearance then be out for another 5 gamesfenaddick said:

I'd argue his passing is the worst part of his game. His inability to pick a good pass is one of the things that frustrates me about himTodds_right_hook said:Coventry isn’t lightweight. He is a work horse who does so much ugly work for the team and breaks up play. He can actually pick a pass, he played a couple of great forward balls on Tuesday against Derby. I think the issue is that he is instructed to play sideways7 -
Coventry’s probably our most reliable passer in CM, but I know what you mean, I’ve always looked at him and felt he could be more creative than he is. Doesn’t seem to have it though, none of our CMs are great at picking out a killer pass.Croydon said:

Not surprising really, it’s not something NJ values, and if a CM can do all the defensive work he requires, the sort of midfielders we can attract are unlikely to also have a really good range of passing.2 -
There is a decent right back playing for Saints today…just delivered a great ball into the box that they nearly scored!
Maybe we should take a look at signing him…his name is Bree!4 -

Werent there a few suggestions not long ago that we should bin him off, and that he was one of Nathan's matedmccart32 said:There is a decent right back playing for Saints today…just delivered a great ball into the box that they nearly scored!

Yeah I know, I was part joking but also think there is a player in there. Maybe his start for us was a fluke and maybe second half of his loan was the true player. Either way if we want to have squad depth then a player like him would be perfect. Clarke looks decent, but what if he gets injured or needs a rest. The depth of a squad is a problem, so getting Bree as a squad player would make sense. I totally agree he was poor the last couple of months for us, but he’s a championship player. Just saying I wouldn’t rule it out.ForeverAddickted said:

Ward-Prowse on loan for the rest of the season would be a great creative ball playing midfielder we need…and can take all the set pieces.
I know I’m dreaming and it’ll never happen, but he wouldn’t have to relocate.9 -
I think he was 3rd in the league for Tackles per 90 Minutes last season... This season in the Championship, he's 129th.Todds_right_hook said:Coventry isn’t lightweight.

He's also in the bottom 30% of midfielders for losing his duels.
His interception rate is decent, on the other hand.
Think he's struggling to deal with the extra physicality of players at this level. Not quite winning the ball back for us like be was in L1.9 -
Think we really need a midfield destroyer type in there next to him, rather than a playmaker that people seem to be asking for. Our whole midfield is too soft for this level. Shame he’s gone to Pompey as Ebou Adams would have been perfect for usChunes said:

I cannot believe the owners have just withdrawn investment in a critical window as this. Oxford have set the tone by giving it a go.3
-
Who said the owners have withdrawn investment ?6
-
Oxford have mainly brought in loans? Donley, Peart-Harris and Konak are all on loan. It's only McDonnell and Jeon the south Korean winger that are permanents.1

If we have no money to spend then id like to see nyoni on loan, unless we can find someone experienced and available (who?! Barry bannan?)If we can spend, bring aribo home and get nyoni on loan.We can, errrr, dream lol.0

No way Liverpool loan him out given their reticence to spend. Even if they did he would go higher up the division. We won’t get players who are close to PL first teams, it has to be (largely) unheard of names2121 said:If we have no money to spend then id like to see nyoni on loan, unless we can find someone experienced and available (who?!

Just throwing the type of name I could see happening, Andrew Moran from Brighton - had half a season in the States on loan with LAFC and championship spells with Blackburn and Stoke. CM that can also play wide or RWB.

We’ll see. Remember when Carlisle set the tone and then got relegated to L2?Berkshire1970 said:I cannot believe the owners have just withdrawn investment in a critical window as this. Oxford have set the tone by giving it a go.1 -
Sides signing loads of players in Jan always feels a bit panicky. Oxford had a club record signing in De Keersmaker and Cam Braniggan in the middle of the park and they've gone and signed 4 players that can all play in there too.Scoham said:

Crawley might be up to 10 signings in Jan now which is completely wild.1 -
We're trying to play a physical brand of football but most teams at this level have more physicality than us.NabySarr said:

Would he such an us signing as I think he's been average as hell at both Stoke & Blackburn, kind of player that's here for 6 months and then gone by the summerMarcusH26 said:Just throwing the type of name I could see happening, Andrew Moran from Brighton - had half a season in the States on loan with LAFC and championship spells with Blackburn and Stoke.

I also think if Doc to Wycombe is all but done except for us signing a replacement, I understand Jones decision to stop using him to avoid injury, that's completely common in football, just waiting for the cards to fall1
