Any one in the know hearing that we are going to spend a significant amount of money come January as well as a few out of contract players coming in? Am hearing this will be a very busy window indeed.
19 Dec 2025 12:05:46
Kip I don't think so tbh I'd be happy with 3 very good players. O. O. C players cost a fortune too they're not free anymore.
19 Dec 2025 12:20:39
Not many player go Out Of Contract in January and anybody who as been OOC since the summer will not have played since then. I don't really see that signing a few in January will be an option. The summer is the time to do these type of deals, January not so much.
19 Dec 2025 12:22:04
We need to spend and bring in at least 5 players of proper quality if we are to have any chance of winning the league.
19 Dec 2025 12:31:48
Gut feel is that any significant action (eh more than 1 or 2 players, or higher profile ones) will be dependant on sales being made / deadwood (like Matondo and Dowell) shifted.
19 Dec 2025 12:35:55
We will spend very significant money next two windows, we r still talking to 3 ooc players all internationals, as I said before Martin left
One in particular is off the highest level who we have been linked with b4, he would also be our captain.
19 Dec 2025 12:41:03
Quality as opposed to quantity is more important.
19 Dec 2025 12:49:09
Tbh kip a can believe this. I genuinely think the owners will open the cheque books n do what's necessary. Especially after the failed first recruitment. They'll see a major opportunity with the clan on the ropes, plus they never really spent in the summer.
19 Dec 2025 12:58:50
In opposition to my last reply though Kent and kamara are ooc.
19 Dec 2025 13:09:59
Jordan henderson then John!
19 Dec 2025 13:20:00
I am feeling positive about the future, and the next two transfer windows. I have seen enough over the last few months now to be a bit more optimistic.
But still strong on leave the ex players where they are, no to Kent, Aribo, Kamara.
19 Dec 2025 13:23:41
Plenty leagues around the world seasons have ended. Not entirely impossible that we sign players out of contract next month.
19 Dec 2025 13:24:36
Both Kent and Kamara are head and shoulders above any player we currently have in terms of quality.
19 Dec 2025 13:29:03
John, the player you're told we're signing that will be our captain, how highly do you rate him yourself mate and is he a centre half by any chance ?.
19 Dec 2025 13:52:57
John, not the centre mid from Spain is it?
19 Dec 2025 13:58:09
John, that person you are talking about signing and being captain wouldn't happen to be a big Dutch centre half currently playing in Germany would it.
19 Dec 2025 14:00:04
John what's our position atm on the financial rules for buying players? i'm sure i read our salary was around 38% of income so if true we do have some wiggle room.
19 Dec 2025 14:08:10
John, that's got me intrigued would be our Captain ?.
19 Dec 2025 14:32:49
He's doing well at Brentford, BigDado.
19 Dec 2025 14:41:06
Big Dado, can't see Jordan Henderson wanting to leave Brentford to come up here to play in Scottish football with us mate. ?I just can't see us trying to sign Henderson at 35 years old but it's football and you never know. ?I will however state he's captain material, but you wouldn't get a lot of years out of Henderson now, so just can't see it being him that John is referring to ?.
19 Dec 2025 14:44:02
Do we get a nationality, John?
19 Dec 2025 15:16:55
Don't understand how people can want Kent back, he had 1 good season and that was the loan season, too many games he done nothing but hit the corner flags with his shooting. Played brilliantly against Dortmund and the likes then against St Mirren and co, he couldn't get past 1 player and had a stinking attitude towards the end.
19 Dec 2025 15:35:11
After a very shaky start, I've been impressed with the Americans.
Hopefully, we can get deals done for incoming and outgoing players this window.
The league's there for the taking.
19 Dec 2025 16:07:26
He's still got another year at Brentford sws.
19 Dec 2025 16:09:50
Albrfc i'd KILL for Doehki to Rangers. Should've been all over it years ago now with top level experience can't complain.
19 Dec 2025 16:13:03
One Walter we have wiggle room, there will be players on big money leaving next two windows.
19 Dec 2025 16:14:57
Bee that would be a gift.
19 Dec 2025 16:22:54
would Jordan Henderson not just be another of those over-priced English players we always talk about. or is that only if he doesn't do well.
19 Dec 2025 16:32:22
bring on Sergio Ramos ???.
19 Dec 2025 17:16:20
SwS, star - he was first person who came to mind wasn't really sure of his contract status or if he was getting game time.
Lol Angus. Usually i am dead against these moves but Henderson bit different for me.
19 Dec 2025 17:21:50
Angus player i refer to not English.
19 Dec 2025 17:32:14
True blue we could lure Ramos by getting him his free over 60s bus pass ?.
19 Dec 2025 18:55:22
Club 72 based on now or when they were with us?
19 Dec 2025 19:05:10
DJB Rangers, I can't understand how anyone can say Kent only had one good season, he was a major part of the invincible team that won the league and was terrific in our run to the Euro final.
He is head and shoulders above any winger we've had since. I 'm not in favour of going backwards to sign players from the past but we should at least respect what they achieved when they were here.
19 Dec 2025 19:19:11
John have you heard that ryan kent is one of the out of contract players we're talking to mate ?I'm told we're definitely in negotiations with kent and his reps ?Time will tell and only passing on info.
19 Dec 2025 19:22:17
The name I was told midweek was Darius Olaru. he would be an outstanding signing and that's the profile of player I'd love.
19 Dec 2025 19:47:41
I'd take Kent back 100% if wage demands and incentives aren't ridiculous.
19 Dec 2025 19:49:38
John I had guessed by your posts it wasn't Henderson and was an overseas player. I was questioning us as fans where English leagues are bad but Henderson is okay. we do need experience but 35 is too experienced for me, especially at the cost of him I imagine.
19 Dec 2025 19:56:38
Between the rumours and the managers interview today hopefully sounds like we are going to go in the right direction in terms of signings.
19 Dec 2025 20:04:02
I couldn't wait for Kent to leave.
I don't want him back.
19 Dec 2025 21:55:26
Would really like Olaru Scotty, was wanting him a couple of years back.
19 Dec 2025 22:09:07
Most clubs will hold on to any good or decent players in the window usually, wouldn;t expect any marquee signings.
Wouldn't take Jordan henderson, mans on a downward spiral, done nothing at Ajax and captained them to zero successes in his time there, they did participate in the conference league, not good enough for the level we should be at by now.
leave him at brentford, that's the level he is now, he has done nothing worth mentioning since 2022, Luuk De Jong would have been a better option as captain for us.
19 Dec 2025 22:28:46
The level he is now, but he is doing well in the best league in the world LH.
19 Dec 2025 22:29:38
Ryan kent? Were in a worse place than i thot. he's rotten.
20 Dec 2025 12:35:47
Wsl people say he only had one good season because it's true.
20 Dec 2025 13:35:52
need a few out and off the wage bill, won't be easy.
