Think we will survive, and as an added bonus send the scouse mackems down .

Manquillo has been good this season and showed he can play left back. If we weren´t to get a left back we could cope

If we got Lingard, I think we could say it´s as complete a January window as we could expect. If we get another defender it will be unreal... Trippier and Bruno are top class, Burns and Woods completely needed as those positions were clear weaknesses (with wilson out, and clarke occasionally playing).

A left footed centre back, one advantage. Kieran clark never gets in the team again, and he's a homegrown lad... enough for me.

Yes, hes primarily a defensive midfielder bit he is classy at getting out of tight situations

Just watched two videos of him: reminds me a bit of Ben Arfa, how he has his arms when drbbling/running and also how he attacks the space afyer getting round/through the opposition. Very excited

UUUF, with jamal and schar we don´t exactly have blisterin´pace there...

For the prices being quoted it is a steal... No decent centre back is being quoted at 10-12m... bite their hand off

Burn would be ideal for us: premier league experience, in form of his life, a geordie and wants to come home... A left back and another striker/winger who can add some goals is also needed, we are quite toothless up front at times...

I honestly think Morata is one of those players who "flatter to decieve", he seems to get in the right positions and arguably has a lot of chances, but on far too many occasions he fluffls his lines. Not for me thanks. To be fair, would be an upgrade on Chris Woods, but unless it´s a loan I wouldn´t want him as our striker next season (if we stay up). P-S- He´s not very fast. I like a pacy striker better tbh

Doucoure out is great news!!

Plenty of "fwet" there! The slimey king would be jizzin his pants

Last couple of games I have watched brighton, their central defenders have been outstanding as well as the spanish left back...

Havent read the thread but Dummet was slower than a snail today, manquillo looked like maldini compared to him... Forgot how ordinary he was.

Be crackin if he got off to a great start with a couple of goals against this lot, be a huge lift for everyone!!

Taking into context the pricing above quoted for classy defenders, then i think 40 million plus is probably right if this lad is up to the hype...

If I was an opposition manager I would undoubtably double up on our left hand side. It´s a clear weakness for a team to attack, hopefully Dummet is in good form and the midfield trio have been told to screen properly on that side...

Would be pleased if he went with that one. Hopefully Ritchie isn´t in the defence. A 433 type of formation with wide wingers looks good there...

I would rather an unfit dummet at left back than Krafth. I would only ever play Krafth in a back three (he is gash). Also, Take into consideration that our left back will be left totally open by ASM, we need a good/competent defender in there... Trippier on left and Murphy right in a back four (good attacking intent with Lascelles and schar in middle.

Just seen us linked to Holgate from everton, always thought he was a decent player, would help out in our defensive frailties...

More confident now! Focal point up front to get on the end of some crosses.

Decent signing, needed for next few crucial games... We are always going to have to pay a premium just because of our owners. 20 mil seems about right tbf..

Same here, they deserved a lot more from that game. Manu were gash and they took the game to them for 70 of the 90 mins (manure played for the first and last ten mins)

Don´t really want to pee on anyone´s chips here, but... from watching his goals on you tube and his general play, he looks quite clumsy overall and was very lucky in about 50% of his passes and goals. Also, the pace of play in those games was snail like compared to the prem. Not sure he would solve our urgent need for someone to hit the ground runnignand netting goals, looks much more like "one for the future". Rant over (Dennis Wise´s long lost scouting bruvva).

Striker and centre back top priority (in that order). And get ritchie out the back line asap, trippier on the left and manqui on the right. Our game of the season!
