Dear all, LTLF's founder, Stuart Connellan died suddenly a few days ago. If you've not seen it, you may wish to look at the thread in the top section of "Down the Pub" Thank you
January ‘26 Transfer Window!!!!
- Thread starter Red Dog in a Dinghy
- Start date
Ortega is no good, he’s another Turner/Vlach/Victor…..City played him out of desperation and has signed 3 keepers since, that tells me all i need to know.
Lucca - hard to get excited about, he has the goalscoring record of a centre back that goes up for corners.
I hate being so negative, but I genuinely think we’re weaker than we were a fortnight ago having lost Zinchenko and Luiz.

I think the line from the club a month or two ago was not to expect a busy January window due to the recruitment in the summer.
We've got enough I think boys and girls. Squads in good shape actually, Ndoye is gonna come good as will some of the other summer recruits. That said I think Edu is on borrowed time.

Let's face it last Summer was a disaster.
Jesus looks decent as a Europa striker, Hutchinson shows promise (albeit expensive promise), Savona might develop into a good player but the rest haven't offered much at all.
We really can't afford to get it so badly wrong again.
Will Edu be given another chance?

That will do!1. LB.
2. FW.
3. CM.
I’d be happy if we just got a LB,
Expectations for this window have died a slow death

Time for the free agent watch?
Guarantee we'll be linked with Sterling every day until he actually signs somewhere.

January is a weird one isn't it?
You either have a sensible, concerted window where you bring in good players, needed in key positions for very little money
Or you drop almost £70m on Strand Larsen and Dwight McNeill
I know which I prefer

We need to get more out of the likes of Bakwa,McAtee and Ndoye (who have all shown glimpses of talent but
need to get up to speed in the unforgiving Premier League).
The worst thing about the summer window for me was the expensive loan signings of Luiz and Zinchenko-a club
like Forest can’t carry passengers.

Best served cold
If you'd seen Zinchenko play you might not think we are weaker without him!
Also, Ortega is a really good goalkeeper.
Thank you.
Always taken the view: nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I think this one is a slow burner. Will take time.

The thing that f**ked our team unity up was bringing in too many players in the summer. It upset Nuno and the club lost its way. Maybe the club has learnt that isn’t always the best way and we are actually working to a plan now. All being well we have enough to stay up and reassessing the summer
Zinchenko was worse than useless on enormous wages.
His departure has strengthened the squad (both from a footballing and financial perspective).

Agree with this plus Luiz was a show pony and we need more than that

Today I learned that we’ve scored fewer goals than both West Ham and Burnley this season.
People are laughing at Palace’s spending but McNeil, Strand Larson and Brennan will score goals.
I hope we get away with it, but unless Lucca is a revelation our lack of goals might come back bite us.

We have a Murillo!...….or possibly 2

Bin VAR!
Sticking a traffic cone at left back would strengthen us vs Zinc! He was beyond useless!
Luiz was never fit, and after the first few games when he did get on the pitch he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. Neither are a loss.
See what the 3 low risk signings bring, learn the lessons of this season and go again next year. Progress was never going to be in a straight line up.

“Sticking a traffic cone at left back would strengthen us vs Zinc! He was beyond useless!”
Indeed: very apt description and made me laugh.
A traffic cone on at least 150k per week.
Because Edu was the one that signed Zinchenko and Luiz. Both failures and already left.

Kris Boyd on Sky Sports saying we've dodged a bullet not signing Arne Engels. Doesn't rate him.
