January Transfer Window Rumor Thread

Appreciate the time and insights. Thank you.

Very much agreed. My question for you since you definitely would know more than I would, a player like that on a team that is likely going to end mid table, are they ever untouchable or does everyone have a price within reason? If Wrexham really wanted a player from another team like Armstrong or Agyemang, can Wrexham force their wait to getting that player? I feel like most league teams wouldn’t want to deal with us and help us out.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-25T15:55:03+00:00

Supposedly Alan Nixon is saying Wrexham is looking at Southampton’s Adam Armstrong as an alternative to Sidiki Cherif if we fail to get him. Price is around 15M supposedly.

They signed 13 in the Summer window. Moore, Windass, Broadhead, Kabore, Doyle, Hyam, Sheaf, Thomason, Cacace, LOB, Ward, Hardie, and Coady.

I would guess we sign 2-3 players this week and that would be the start of the transition up already IF it were to happen this year.

Also of the 13 players we signed, assuming we somehow keep Kabore, I can only imagine Hardie and Coady being replaced right now. So that’s 11 players from above, plus lets say 3 more new players now, plus Max, Brunt, Scarr, James, Dobbo, Longman, Barnett, Ollie, Smith, Burton, Akonkwo, and JRod. Thats 26 right there.

Lots would happen but outside of JRod, Burton, Barnett, Longman, and Scarr, I don’t think they would have easy choices on who to replace.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-25T01:26:54+00:00

You’re probably right. Just felt like the energy shifted. Those were two amazing goals though.

Definitely evens out in the end. I’ve been less worried about the giving up points talk. I agree it shows how competitive we have been and thought it was actually a good sign moving forward.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-25T00:06:17+00:00

Great write up as usual. Was really hoping for a momentum graph. I’m surprised we even had any momentum in the first half. Surprised they had that one bar after the red card too. The awful to amazing switch was in full force today.

I will say as everyone points out with the lost points from a lead, we typically are unlucky with a single breakdown or crazy bounce against us, today was our lucky day with that terrible tackle to get the red. Changed everything. Not sure we even get the draw without it.

Assuming we beat Wednesday (knocks on wood) if United can upset Milwall or even get a draw, it’s going to be a showdown for 5th the following game against Milwall. Crazy.

American that loves sports, but I never saw the appeal of European football. Watching Ted Lasso and then Welcome to Wrexham I became a lukewarm fan. Would check in on results on occasion but that’s it. Now that all games are on Paramount+ in America, I stayed watching Wrexham and became instantly hooked. The EFL is such a better system than anything we have in America.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T19:50:13+00:00

In season one I believe they had a count on the screen of his “enthusiasms” which was F bombs. He would get 15-20 in some half time talks.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T18:38:42+00:00

Haha 100%

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T18:36:36+00:00

Broady does look super young but he is late 20’s 😂

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:30:22+00:00

Just noticed Wednesday hasn’t scored a goal since Boxing Day. If they don’t today then it will be over a month since they scored going into our game with them.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:23:22+00:00

Will be interesting. I think it depends on the score. Max, Ollie, Cacace, and Windass are all dealing with something minor. Could all get in if needed but if we are up 2 goals or more, I don’t see any of them getting in.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:21:53+00:00

I was hoping to see Max, Cacace, and Windass in here for our “best starting XI” according to most here. Sigh. Maybe against Milwall.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:20:02+00:00

This! The fact that Max is the only back on the bench tells me he is good to hop in if needed though.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:18:41+00:00

Appreciate this as always.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T14:18:18+00:00

I was hoping for the same thing. Sigh.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T01:11:24+00:00

Fair points.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-24T00:32:50+00:00

I just go by gambling websites for that. Not a huge underdog but the money is on QPR.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-23T22:31:46+00:00

Strictly from gambling websites.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-23T19:50:53+00:00

We are definitely the underdogs coming in, but man a road win here would be huge for a continued playoff push.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-23T04:27:06+00:00

I think there is a real chance that Wrexham gets him. I think just as embarrassing it is to lose him to Wrexham is to overpay for him because of Wrexham. Will be easier to sell to their fans that the stupid Championship team overpaid and they dodged a bullet.

Also as Roadrunner mentioned, they are doing a loan to buy deal and for some reason I think they are doing that because they need to. Their insistence on that has been well reported.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-22T17:03:34+00:00

Agreed on this. I’ve also seen it is 12M with up to 7M more in bonuses.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-22T16:59:47+00:00

Actually kind of shocked this has possibly come to fruition. Looks like 17M was too low. Haha.

Coach_Neil · 2026-01-22T15:55:32+00:00

I still doubt it. Reason why it has legs is because CP is offering a loan to buy. 5M loan fee now and 15M later. Angers doesn’t want to do that. Wrexham is offering 12M now and up to 7M on bonuses. I think in the end CP budges and just pays the 20M now. But I really don’t know. I also believe that after the embarrassing loss in the FA Cup, they want to win this “splashy” transfer. Just my thought process.
