Aiston Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 We won't make many signings at all in January. Creative midfielder/ RW/ CDM/ striker/ cb/ lb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The season is a write off and we're financially hamstring with FFP. I personally don't see us doing anything this window - with exception of maybe a loan deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, as much as I'm desperate for us to make some signings, I can't help but feel the reward for it this season is paltry and the board would rather keep the powder dry. Winning the FA Cup and/or qualifying for one of the lesser European competitions isn't very lucrative. On the more optimistic flipside, similar to Gordon, they might view this window as a headstart for next season and will take a few punts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Feel like we’re screaming out for a defensive mid. We’ve got nothing through the middle when teams counter us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always further forward. I feel like we just need a Tiote type destroyer whose sole job is protecting the back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we can’t spend, then options are low. He can play, he’s shown that plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Lewis Hall has done nowt wrong, but we probably shouldn’t trigger that deal if we can and use the money on LB who will play. Like realistically hall might be a starter in what, 3 years? - judging by eddies use of him. Edited January 1 by Weezertron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that Tonali was our most expensive by far it doesn’t make for much of an argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexred Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's unlikely we make any big signings in January. I'd be happy with a Phillips loan. Dan Ashworth is going to have to earn his money in the summer. We need to move on Almiron, Longstaff, Targett and Wilson. We need a starting LB, RCB, DM and RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Minteh, but regardless of Tonali I think there’s been a marked shift and Howe has exerted his preference for mainly British based players in last 2 windows. Lets see how this window pans out but think we’ll see British players to the fore again. Regardless of where they’re from I just hope he sees we need more than running power and intensity to take us forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Right winger. DM. Pacy Center Back. Figure out if Hall is going to start next season, if not and we wanna do that deal anyway then sign a new LB. Burn shifts back to backup CB. Schar is slowly rotated with a lightning fast partner for Botman. If willock, Targett, Wilson, et al aren’t staying consistently fit then they are fuck all use for us.

Our RCB was by a distance our best defender tonight, as he usually is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
