Remove his set piece ability and i'm not overly convinced, feels like a Nolan situation where 'all he does is score goals' but offers little else. Still i'd take him as he'd end the reign of terror which is Shelvey. Agree to an extent. As someone else said if they bring in a better DM and play Willock with him I think you're good. Even Hayden could make that work to the end of the season imo. I very much doubt they'll be selling anyway, sounds like bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'd go all out for Doucoure me. Think he'd almost single handedly transform the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Signing from potential relegation rivals is two birds with one stone, but risks the deals being protracted, and we'll need to get people in quickly. First of all, we need a new manager in quickly to start deBrucing the players we have. Many of them are underperforming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) January is going to be a tough window for us. I'm really not sure we'll simply be able to hoover up the likes of Tarkowski, JWP etc. I really don't think teams in the bottom half will do business with us. Tarkowski is out of contract come the summer but he could be the difference between Burnley going down or staying up. I dare say it would take 30m to get him and I doubt we'd pay that. Lamptey and Bissouma would be great signings and Brighton may well sell given their comfortable league position but again, you'd be looking at 30m for Lamptey and 40m for Bissouma. By all accounts we're not going to be spending that kind of money in January. If we're cut adrift by more than 5 point's you also have the difficulty in convincing players to come. If we can stay up, the summer could be a different story and we could possibly weaken some of our rivals by going for Lamptey, Bissouma, McNeil, JWP but I am worried about relegation. Given the fixtures played and point's accrued to date I think relegation is more probable than staying up.

Bishops Finger Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think we should be able to get get a few decent loan signings in as the wages wouldn't be an issue like they were with Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I believe signings will be made dependant on who is available and who will want to come along with where we are in the league, if by some miracle we start doing well I think Jan investment will be minimal if we are bottom 3 I can see us spending more than the 50/60m mentioned in the press.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We'd be insane not to aim for 2 high end loans and 2 permanent signings minimum. Lingaard & Tarkowski look like two very good bets to me given their contracts are up, if you can get them for £20m or so each that's very good business imo.

Dokko Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We need 5-6 new faces if we want to stay up. 2 can be loans but they'll need to be big loans to buy, not loans to do other clubs favours for game time. A Stones loan to buy should we stay up we be a huge statement of intent. I believe he was Staveley's No1 target when talking about bringing Rafa back 18months ago or so.

arnonel Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Honestly believe we can stay up with just a great manager. But we should be looking to build too.
