McCormick Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Definitely need to get a quality pressing winger, a physically imposing centre-mid and a quality young right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Not sure how realistic, but I do think that we could do with 2 or 3 close-to-first-11 quality players in January. We play with such intensity that with the limited alternatives we currently have, burnout is a considerable risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Winger and a CM please. And a young RB. Eventually we’ll pay for having to play Murphy so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 An important signing for me is a RB to learn from Trippier. At 32 he isn't going to be around forever, and he's likely to be playing a lot of games for England during the WC as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has turned down further contract offers from them so they want to get some money in Jan for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) One real quality midfielder/winger for me to give us a boost but not rock the boat. Only other thing would be a backup right back - as the drop off to Manquillo the other night was mortifying.

When there's only 1-2 of them in surrounded by the first-choice XI they've tended to do okay under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Wonder if we could get Enzo Fernandez. Only been at Benfica 6 months but they’re out the CL now. Definitely looks like the next big thing alongside Bellingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) No chance of Enzo now (because of price) but he would be the ultimate signing. He’s almost like Bruno but more dynamic. Absolutely amazing if we could get him to play in the deeper role and push Bruno into a more of a 8. His pressing is class, Great on the ball and his passing is progressive too. Very good defensively. Would contribute offensively too. Can’t see it though. Dream! Maybe that Perrone lad can become our future Enzo if we get him.

gjohnson Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 On current form it's a bit difficult to argue who should be replaced. Wood would be the most obvious but he's played an effective (if not goal scoring) role, and obviously Trippier isn't getting any younger, but I don't know of any right back who is as influential and effective at the moment. At least 9 of our current starting 11 are playing well enough to make themselves undroppable going into the January window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Arsenal- won't sign Maddison as they have Odegaard. City- Yes but that would be indulgent and Pep has said they aren't spending. Chelsea- would throw silly wages at Maddison and I could see them being willing to pay more but would he see them as a good project? Spurs- think they will target other areas, doesn't really suit their system. Liverpool- I think Maddison would be an amazing signing for Liverpool, perhaps an alternate to Bellingham. Man United- They should be looking at him but they have just signed Antony, Casemiro and Eriksen and again there's talk of a lack of funds. In short, if we have done our work, we have as good a chance as any. We'd have to make him our top earner, I suspect.
