toontownman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Regardless of Gordon we are still short up top and DM from summers list. I think we can survive at RB until the summer with manquillo and krafth soon returning. We definitely need 2 in though if we are serious about maintaining top 4 or even Europe. If Gordon is one then we still need another striker or DM. If Isak or Wilson get injured we can push Big Joe up but that leaves a midfield hole. Likewise he has played ASM up top or we could do something with a false 9. Shelvey is close to returning which gives us extra backup in midfield. Ideally we would just get a wide forward that can play in the centre and a DM. Gordon isn't either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Looking at that bench tonight, there are not many options in midfield. Think we definitely need a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We're not going to be able to keep up pressure in the CL race if we don't bring players in. We've looked fresh out of a cutting edge and ideas tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitude20 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Looking at our wasted chances in the last few games, they have mostly been from our CMs: Willock, Longstaff, and Joe. And they have been really easy chances that we should have buried. Our system creates a lot of chances for our CMs, and them wasting it can really cost us. Even when we start playing Isak as a lone striker instead of Wilson, it would be more crucial for our CMs to be more clinical, as Isak drops deep and creates chances for others. I do think our top target this window should be a central midfielder who can score. Edited January 24, 2023 by Solitude20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison could get ~15 goals a season in this side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Another midfielder is definitely needed based on performance tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We looked so good when we had Bruno Isak and ASM. We need quality in forward areas. Maddison with those boys. It would be sexy. That Edozie looks a real talent whenever I’ve seen him. Rather a young player like him with obvious quality than Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought ASM and Isak interchanging worked well. With a bit of luck we could get away with gambling on Isak and Wilsons fitness. Joe can cover too. Another real quality central midfield addition would be a game changer for us I think, more than a 3rd choice striker. Hopefully we can bring in a young striker as well just in case.

KaKa Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Apparently Weston McKennie is available on an initial loan and then a £22 million fee if made permanent, and we're in the mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Think we are in real need of a CM and a Winger this January. Anything else is a bonus right now. Big Joe and Bruno should be in the middle with the CM. Joelinton much better as a CM and not a winger. Longstaff and Willock as subs or rotation players. Isak to start with Wilson on the bench. Almiron/ASM/Winger to rotate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
