Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl is expected to strengthen his squad during the January transfer window, as the team looks to address weaknesses exposed in the early months of the season. Despite a positive start and a busy summer with 11 new signings, the Owls have shown inconsistency, and Rohl will be eager to make further improvements. Sheffield Wednesday’s track record in the transfer market has been a mixed one, with several high-profile mistakes in the past.
One such error was the signing of defender Darryl Lachman in 2015. Although he had a solid career in the Eredivisie, Lachman was not rated by new manager Carlos Carvalhal and spent much of his time at the club training with the reserves, eventually leaving without making a senior appearance. Similarly, Joost van Aken’s move from Heerenveen in 2017 was a high-profile failure. Despite being the result of an extensive search for a defender, van Aken struggled to make an impact, and his time at Hillsborough ended with just 33 appearances over four years.
These mistakes, among others, highlight the risks involved in the transfer market, and with January approaching, Sheffield Wednesday must learn from the past to avoid repeating such costly errors.
Celtic should consider signing Lennon Miller in January, but there’s no reason to sell Nicolas Kuhn at this stage. Miller, one of the top young talents in Scotland, has impressed with his performances for Motherwell and is clearly a player for the future. However, with Celtic’s strong midfield depth, it’s unlikely he’d feature as a regular starter right now. A smart move would be for Celtic to sign him and loan him out to continue his development.
On the other hand, Kuhn’s future is secure at Celtic for the moment. Despite interest from clubs, his performances, particularly in the Champions League, have cemented his place as one of the top players in Scotland. Celtic is in no rush to sell, especially with the financial stability provided by their European success. Kuhn’s time for a big move will come, but for now, he should continue his progress at Celtic, where he’s playing in Europe and competing for silverware.
Adam Idah may not be with the Ireland squad this week, but he’s still proving his worth at Celtic. His £9 million transfer fee is often brought up when assessing his performances, but it’s unfair to judge him solely on that figure. Brendan Rodgers has emphasized the importance of having versatile options, and Idah plays a key role in providing that flexibility. Despite the high fee, Idah has contributed significantly since joining, with his five goals this season showcasing his ability to find the net in crucial moments. Whether it’s his clever positioning or his physical resilience, Idah has shown that he brings more than just his price tag to the table. With each contribution, he’s proving to be a valuable asset for Celtic—one that justifies the investment, especially as the team continues to pursue trophies.

Stoke City’s costly transfer of Kevin Wimmer in 2017 stands out as a defining misstep in their journey toward relegation from the Premier League. Acquired for a hefty £18 million from Tottenham Hotspur, Wimmer arrived with high expectations from manager Mark Hughes, who described the Austrian center-back as a “real coup” who would enhance Stoke’s defensive line. However, Wimmer struggled to meet these expectations, and by the season’s end, Stoke’s defense had faltered, contributing to their drop from the top flight. Following Hughes’ dismissal, Wimmer was further sidelined under new management, failing to make a first-team appearance as Stoke descended into the Championship. After multiple unsuccessful loan spells and a quiet departure in 2021, Wimmer’s time at Stoke became a painful reminder of the club’s ill-fated transfer decisions.

David Moyes recently revealed he was close to signing Andy Robertson during his time managing Sunderland, only for the deal to fall through, ultimately leading Robertson to join Liverpool in 2017. Moyes, who previously managed Everton and Manchester United, reflected on his brief season with Sunderland, which ended in relegation despite his intentions to stay. Even in a difficult season, Moyes saw Robertson’s potential and attempted to bring him from Hull City. However, with both clubs battling at the bottom of the league, negotiations stalled, allowing Liverpool to secure Robertson. Since joining the Reds, Robertson has become one of Europe’s top defenders, helping Liverpool capture major trophies and establishing himself as a club mainstay.
