Offer Kilman to Southampton for Taylor Harwood-Bellis

Kilman has the potential to become a big problem for WH at seasons end, trying to get rid of him, will be difficult indeed

Terrible defender, too slow and not premier league quality

Makes me laugh how we focus on one particular player which then falls through and then we scramble around looking for the next easiest option
We badly need defender, a midfielder and possibly a keeper
Paqueta gone and now we are linked Angel Gomes (good shout if we can get him) or nicola zalewski. My issue is that these should have been deals already lined up if and when paqueta left. Why are we scrambling around now . Typical Sullivan way of doing business to leave it to the last minute and panic and then blame the manager

Gomes would be a good signing. Left footed and was in England squad last year. He’s a good age as well.

Hi all, I can't believe we haven't signed a defender yet, with one clean sheet all season it's obvious that's where we need to strengthen, and just getting in Disasi is not enough (if he does eventually join).

Disasi, was an Easy transfer and an easy fit all round, ( not talking about his abilities )
BUT. Chelsea are apparently VERY difficult to deal with, problem their is too many people want a say, in transfer dealings
Don’t know the ins and outs, but it’s general agency knowledge

Stevie it was always going to be last minute, they spent on 2 forwards then recouped that with guilherme and paq money they never intended to spend more so had to wait for players that couldn't get transfers becoming available on loan

Looks like Nuno has laid down the challenge and called Sullivans bluff by allowing players to be sold and thinning the squad, he has made it known we need to add players (not just defender and keeper) before the window closes.
We are desperately thin in midfield

WH have just a small chance, of staying up
NOT getting in players required, will make that chance impossible
Sullivans call, 4 days to go, he will be the major shareholder of a club that loses at least 60% of its value on relegation
As I say his call!

Yep and i think Nuno has called his bluff. let's see what happens. Could be interesting last few days

Totally on board with what you are saying but am hearing from other places that Sullivan is putting out there that any player recruitment is totally at the behest of the manager. Which most of us know is complete bolo@@@ yet I suppose it’s his way to throw someone under the bus.
Agree1
30 Jan 2026 11:07:47
Yup he thinks he has us all deceived again but we've caught on to his antics.
Its fine, if Sullivan thinks we have the players to keep us up, so be it. But let's see what happens when we get a few injuries in key positions
28 Jan 2026 23:26:51
So, it looks like Pacqueta is finally on his way to Flamengo for around £36m. He stated it was for family reasons. If this is true, good luck to him, and if reported to be true he's taken a £90k drop in wages.
We were lucky to witness someone with such flair, and he helped us win a trophy.

After watching Chelsea tonight, we need to be on our toes Saturday night
Passing and shooting Joao Pedro phew, worse Palmers back
Still you never know

European fatigue factor no longer a benefit. Palmer half game.
Downgraded hope to a draw

It’s a factor alright, they will make changes, and start the game by underestimating WH, problem is they can make changes with their squad depth WH can’t
If WH play to the level of the last two games, we have a chance
