Tammy Abraham’s has fallen out of favour at Roma. He’s got experience in the prem. Would it be crazy if we attempted some sort of deal given B&B are giving us very little?
I know I’m scraping the barrel but it’s a difficult market in Jan and I’m struggling to think of where we won’t get ripped off.
I think a RB might be the only real recruitment this window. Aznou has shown he deserves more time on the pitch playing LB (if not for 10mins to start with at the end of games) .

I know his injury record is poor but Callum Wilson would be a good stop gap til the summer. He can certainly finish but I'm just sceptical about his injuries.
{Ed025's Note - Harold Wilson would be better than the 2 clowns we have Dentie..

Send Beto to Roma and take Tammy Abraham on loan for 6 months, see how he gets on.
{Ed025's Note - send Beto to jail for impersonating a footballer..
11 Jan 2026 22:36:24
He is on loan with Besiktas on a conditional loan. He won't be coming to us. The last thing we want is another injury-prone striker.
11 Jan 2026 22:57:38
The last thing we want is what we already have.
11 Jan 2026 23:25:03
That doesn't mean it makes sense to swap it for another striker who likely won't deliver. Not to mention the lad is on £115k a week. Beto is on about 50k.
Nonsensical move.
Just go and get a striker in that we envisage to be at the club for the long term, who isn't already on stupid money.

They’ve already tried that with Barry BN.
We need a stop gap until Barry’s game catches up with Prem League standard.
{Ed025's Note - do you think that will ever happen BR? because i dont mate..

For me it was very clear at the beginning of the season that Barry was a big mistake and Beto wasn’t up to the levels required, 20 games on and still of the same opinion, play them another 20 games to the end of the season it could show a slight improvement due to heavier grounds and injuries to opponents key defenders, at the end of the day they both need to be sold on to a league that’s suitable to their abilities
If we become safe from relegation in the next few weeks then I wouldn’t be spending in this January window, unless it means that we could be missing out of an available proven striker like the likes Larsen ( if he’s affordable) but I can’t see us buy a top striker unless we have cashed in on Beto and Barry first, unfortunately they aren’t the type to attract clubs that are wanting goals, especially in this division, summer different story
Keep the money in the bank and do the business early in the summer window.
{Ed025's Note - i think thats the ideal scenario Uran...unless a player or 2 become available in this window at the right price, i have totally given up with the 2 clowns up front so forget about them ever improving, if it looks like a lemon, tastes like a lemon and is yellow...its usually a lemon mate..

I agree with you Ed.
12 Jan 2026 12:54:16
Understand what you are saying completely BR but there aren't any available that aren't on the slide or on stupid wages.
I know Barry was a poor signing but you could see that before he even kicked a ball for us imo. There are plenty of strikers out there that may not be prolific goal scorers but that would definitely improve the team and the players around them, would offer more options in terms of setup and could still get a healthy return on goals, at least compared to what we are used to.
Krstović
Lemperle
Pellegrino
Burkardt
Asllani
Lazio have just picked up a young Serb to replace the lad who West Ham signed from them, Petar Ratkov for 13 million Euros.
They are definitely out there imo mate.
12 Jan 2026 20:37:13
But you know what they says Ed: when the club gives you lemons…
I don’t know if Barry will make it in the prem yet. Wishful thinking I suppose.
{Ed025's Note - i really wanted him to do well BR but he doesn,t even look like a footballer mate..
12 Jan 2026 22:19:47
Who do you think we can realistically get in Ed?
Or are we stuck with B&B until summer investment?
{Ed025's Note - i would try and hijack Malen myself BR, if we stick with Laurel and Hardy it will continue to be a hard watch mate imo, im just looking at Value in this window but its more likely we will stick i would say..
