January 2025 transfer window hopes & facts 11:08 - Jan 3 with 7385 viewsCrashBandicoot

Apologies if there is a transfer thread I'm opening a thread for the January transfer window which has now opened.

Who should be a potential signing for us and who should move on either via loan or permanently? I've heard Kyrell Lisbie & Gus Scott Morriss mentioned as potential targets but could they potentially make the jump from NL to L2? Some players do but others don't.

Plus actual transfers that we bring in & out can also be mentioned here.

We have 5/6 players injured currently. I expect there will be arrivals in January. Who and when is the big question.

Yes, probably a good thing right now although I'd still sooner be travelling up to Anfield to play Liverpool.

Based on what I have seen about his loan at Southend he could do a job for us.


Aribim Pepple has joined Chesterfield today on loan for the rest of the season.

A lot of Southend fans are gutted about this (as we were with JT).

I think it's time the FA/EFL brought in a rule that if you loan out a player for a season, you cannot then loan them to someone else.

Fair enough if you need them to cover for injuries, but if some club has been prepared to take them on a years loan and give them game time to improve them, you shouldn't be able to rip up that deal and cash in on the improvement.

According to transfermarkt he's worth £350k so Luton would never get anything like that sort of transfer figure for him. As that is the sort money a championship club would pay in a transfer fee and no club in that league would pay that for a striker who has scored no goals in a season.

And if he is released as may be the case depending on how long his contract has left to run then I imagine he would likely leave on a free. Then its just the wages to be sorted and agreed depending on who goes for him.

Agreed its unlikely he would join us but sometimes players have to go down 1 or 2 leagues to find their true level.

I do agree however that we need LT back sooner rather than later though as he is a much more reliable goal scorer than Hopper could ever dream to be.


Sounds like Luton will get their £3 million for Joe Taylor! From Pete O'Rourke on X Huddersfield Town are set to confirm the signing of long-term target Joe Taylor in a permanent deal from Luton Town. The deal is worth in excess of £3m and is a huge statement of intent from Huddersfield in the battle for promotion from League One.

You will all remember that it was Huddersfield who signed Jordan Rhodes from Ipswich for £750k.

Rhodes and Joe Taylor are similar players and the Terriers are investing £3m in JT to fire them to promotion.

Luton deserve everything they get this season. They have behaved appallingly towards Taylor. Difficult to fathom when they are playing poorly and their performances are so disappointing.

Anyway if nothing else it finally secures JT's future.

Now we have to make our signings to get us up to the top seven in this wretched league.

Thats probably what JT needs, to drop down a league to where he previously discovered his goal scoring form.

As for us, according to RB who posts in Colchester gazette (who is often a good source of information through his research) we've been linked with a move for Daniel Ogunleye from Brentwood who scored 23 goals for them though there is a difference between Isthmian league north and League two. But he could be a shrewd signing if he can continue his goalscoring form as he definitely has an eye for goal and isn't shot shy..

Yes O’Rourke mentioned that on X yesterday, it would seem several other league 2 and National league clubs are looking at Daniel too. He does seem like a decent prospect but so did Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe and Dan Holman!

His loan back in 2017 didn't really work out, but how about Nicke Kabamba at Barnet - scoring plenty in the National League. Already on 12 in all competitions this season, scored 32 and 19 in the previous two seasons. Would he be tempted though, given Barnet are in the hunt for automatic promotion?


Again according to O’Rourke, Bromley are on the verge of signing Kabamba for a ‘six figure’ sum. Could be a good acquisition if they get him, depending on what number that fee starts with.

I struggle to understand how Bromley can co sidereal paying 6 figure fees.

Kabamba played for us years ago on loan but scored no goals. Could be a bit of a gamble for them tbh as he scores for fun in the NL but his goal scoring record when he has played in the EFL has not been good so far. Though that could change if he can continue his form that he did at Barnet.

Bendle on loan to St Albans. Presumably they must be lining up some signings as so far all we have are players leaving an already small squad.
