If MA wants to guarantee our survival we need at least 3

 

RB or LB (if Santon moves to RB)

CH

Attacking midfielder

 

Debuchy

Douglas

Remy

 

The problem is (ala Anita) players foreign to the prem usually take time to bed in.

EWCASTLE’S move for Moussa Sissoko has been backed by Yohan Cabaye.

 

Sissoko, 23 is a free agent at Toulouse next summer but Toon could try to tie up a cut-price new year deal to avert a midfield crisis.

 

Fellow France international Cabaye is out injured until February after groin surgery and Cheick Tiote is set for Africa Nations Cup duty next month with Ivory Coast – meaning Toon will be looking to strengthen in January.

 

Cabaye said: “I don’t know if Moussa is coming here but he’s a good, strong player and good going forward.’’

 

Sissoko’s arrival would see United’s French legion grow to SIX with Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Gabriel Obertan, Sylvain Marveaux and Romain Amalfitano.

Some pretty heavy backing from Cabaye there :lol:

Sure players would need a bit of time to bed in like Anita but we'd be updating the squad with genuine quality over what we have. Also the confidence and lift it would give all the players, staff and fans can't be understated, would be huge to sign some really solid players in Jan. Given the financial disaster relegation poses what with the new mega prem deal for next season you'd think it would be a no brainer for Ashley to sure us up and guarantee prem status.

that would be a dream window.

 

both douglas and debuchy are realistic, right?

 

What is a CH?

 

Not all foreign players needs that much time to adjust. Michu, Ba, cisse + many more didn´t need that much time. Not even anita imo.

The only certainty about the coming window is that it will be disappointing.

 

In a decade of supporting football clubs home and abroad, I don't think I've ever walked away from a window thinking "alright, job done"

 

 

Errr, well, not the summer we got Cabaye and Ba. I would agree the other though.

There were still position that hadn't been filled but needed to be.

 

It happens with all clubs though really but I completely understand where Oldtype is coming from.

I would say at that moment we just need one more striker but Best has been doing a good enough job.

Our initial expectation for last season was just a respectable mid table position and we proved to have a squad better than that (still over achieving for a 5th though).

 

I do understand the feeling of "there is always a weakest link within the first 11".

So lets say we got Debuchy, Douglas and Sissokho and that saw Simpson, Williamson and Jonas out of the team - who's the weakest link after that?

 

Ba or Cisse depending on where you're playing them. It's a moot point really, because if we get all three of those we'll have more than 11 purples :anguish:

 

It'll be two if we're very, very lucky. I'm hoping for just a central defender and a fullback personally, that'll do me for now if we don't sell anyone.

Krul

Debuchy

Douglas

Colo

Santon

Tiote

Cabaye

Sissokho

HBA

Cisse

Ba

 

Ba then, who isn't a left winger by default.

Tiote is next if he couldn't back to what he should be.

If Sissokho comes it must mean the end for Tiote.

 

Cant see how Tiote, Cabaye, Anita & Sissokho can fit into the same team.

 

Oh well.

 

Ben Arfa    Ba

 

      Cabaye

 

Anita Tiote Sissoko

 

        Back 4

 

      Goalkeeper
