January 2026 Transfer Window

[Jute]

24 hours and no signings. Can we panic yet. 
 

Joking aside thought we might have at least recalled Marshall from Arbroath at start of window.

I wonder if we will now, with Kjartansson breaking through. I don't think we have room for two 19 year olds in the midfield (I thought Kjartansson was okay against Hibs, but clearly isn't ready for a run of games). For me, the priority with any of the young lads has to be their own game time, and I think that might be difficult at Pittodrie because of both Kjartansson and the formation. I expect Marshall would probably play further forward, but it's not really a position we have available, with Armstrong filling in across the front area and almost always being replaced by a winger when we're inevitably chasing a game.

I thought Armstrong has been poor last couple of games and having Marshall back would allow us to maybe rest him but think you might be right that it is unlikely we will go with two 19 year olds in midfield. 
 

I am not sure Kjartensson fits being in a two in midfield as he lacks pace. As has been discussed already looks to me like he might be more suited to a deep lying role in front of a back 4.

Armstrong has been very poor the past few games. 

33 years old who didn't play much football the past few seasons, may now be feeling it.

Have no issue with Marshall coming back to try at that role, but Clarkson could play that role too, but well out of the picture.

Our team is in a strange place at the moment.
