Summer 2026 Transfer Window Thread

[sycophantia]

Very. There's the question of Hwang too

Suspect he'll go abroad but you never know.
Also people will be calling for the return of Doyle and Bouba.

Well we'll definitely win more than 3 games....

Bookmarked

 

[prawnking]

While we are unlikely to be able to shift all of them but atm the only player nailed on to be here next season is Armstrong.
Likely to still be here maybe, Rodrigo, Tolu, Toti, Hugo.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Johnstone in goal, also Munetsi back in the squad.
We'll really need to sign quite a few quality players to push for promotion. It'll be all down to the recruitment team and how much cash Fosun will release.

Hugo will be off I reckon

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It'll be a race out the door, we aren't going to sell everyone.

I’m (un) lucky enough to regularly watch Watford through work/corporate and so I’m fairly well versed in championship football.

It’s shit. Diabolical. Crowds are awful, football is even worse.

The side we have now, despite how shit we are in the PL, is absolutely miles ahead of anything I’ve seen at Watford this year.

But, as we know, it’s going to be about who we lose and how we replace them.

All this shit I hear about how “it’ll be more fun in the championship “…….

I promise you. It fucking won’t be.

He sounds like a stand up geezer.....

We’ve become solid at the back but going forward we’re still dreadful. We’ve ground out some decent results lately but I’ve no idea how we’d do when we get more of the ball. Our chance conversion rate at the moment is unsustainable and will revert to the mean. I don’t think the current side would score enough goals even against lesser opposition so it will all come down to who we bring in.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If you give Armstrong chances at that level he will score goals, he has proven that for close on a decade.

We do have very little creativity though. We don't own a single genuine wide player bar Enso Gonzalez who is as likely to play as I am.

Take Mané away, as seems probable, and the creativity level goes through the floor. The money is there to bring in the kind of players we need but we all know how poor our recruitment has been for years.

And, the guy supposedly running the show was moved on by Wigan after being in their office without a clear job title for five years. He then went self-employed as a consultant until wonderfully aware Jeff Shyster fell for his charms, picked him up and sent him to Switzerland.
Sadly, and by the summer, we will have returned full circle to being the provincial club with a great history that we were for decades.
Thanks for the memories Nuno and uncle Jorge!

Matt Jackson is a huge worry.

"Director of recruitment" during our worst recruitment drives ever (?) and about to be trusted with millions to get us back up.

We’ll spend millions but a lot fewer of them than we bring in through sales.

Not that I trust him but he appeared to be in the background on the summer recruitment with Vitor and his mate leading the way.

His window has been Armstrong and Gomes IV. Rob definitely pushed for one of them.

 

[Tony Towner]

There's plenty of reasons to be concerned about Jackson's ability to recruit adequately, but last Summer's business isn't one of them. He didn’t bring those players in any more than Thelwell did Jota, Neves and Boly, irrespective of any job title.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

"Irrespective of the job title"

 

[Tony Towner]

Yep. Have a look at Thelwell's description of what he did at Wolves under Fosun on LinkedIn and tell me that's true "irrespective of the job title".

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Everyone knows Vitor and his vampire pal signed last summer's players, with Mendes getting a drink on the 6 stone Spaniard. Wilfully obtuse to pretend otherwise.
