Skeletor Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We've only signed Trippier so far but this is the most enjoyable transfer window that I can remember for a long time. We can be linked with players and actually believe they will happen as opposed to just being a distraction to get to the end of the window without signing anyone.

Yorkie Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I see absolutely no excuse to be playing Ritchie at LB if Trippier, Manquillo, Lewis and Krafth are all available. Dummett will presumably return to fitness at some point also. No great options obviously but there's really no need to put Ritchie there ever again.

relámpago blanco Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If we don't sign left back Manquillo should start there. Trippier could play there but I'd rather him in his natural position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 1 hour ago, LRD said: Think we need a striker more than a left back. ASM on the left and Trippier on the right can still create chances and we need someone to convert them. I'd say the needs are on par - the amounts of goals Richie is letting in will take us down if we don't plug that hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Don't think Southampton would sell him unless it's an absolutely huge price mid season He'd also break the 100k a week thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in having big, imposing centre halves if they're getting turned by the lads Shelvey and Willock are allowing to have a free run at them. 100% Look at Chelsea - they had one of the THE best defenses in the league until Kante got injured.

Huge like on that one. A DM that you barely notice, that works in silence and destroys the game for the opponents is invaluable for a team. Someone who is always positioned correctly. Someone who comes running around the corner (with the full clown gear, just to annoy you a little extra) just when you think your pass would reach the history books. It can't be too much to ask, can it? I'm not saying that Kante is someone you do not notice. But he's the closest one to perfection right now, I guess. And just because I'm talking about players you do not notice, I can't really think of anyone else. Nemanja Matic when he was at Chelsea, Eric Diaby..? Maybe there is a point in being a discreet football player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 With Hayden now out for 10 weeks there is no way we don't get a DM this window. Also makes me wonder if it's worth registering him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So: 2 strikers 2 CB's 1 LB 1 DM Minimum lol I'd sacrifice one of those 2 cB's to ensure we got the rest. Arguably we could do with two new CMs. We are a classic relegated team right now. No sign of where a goal is going to come from. We can bring just 1 striker in but then if they get injured we are fucked again. Gayle clearly isn't the answer. Do we have anyone in the u23 that plays up top?

Joey47 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I think CM has actually become the number 1 priority closely followed by a striker. I think we could just about cope with our defense if we got a decent CM/CDM in January. We definitely wouldn't be able to cope without a new midfielder and a striker if Wilson isn't back soon.
