rodders0223 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 One more experienced striker who can put himself about, without a doubt. We won't always play like we did last night, and we will revert back to type - and for that we need a unit up front. Our options are still way too limited if we want to turn a game or change things round. We cannot rely on RHM and Davis from now until the end of the season. This 5 months is too damn important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Stratvillan said: I don't want us to sign anyone unless they are "guaranteed" a first team place. We've a massive squad, we need to sign the right players or no one. I'm more eager to clear out the ones who clearly aren't wanted or needed RMc. Bunn, Richards, gabby , de laet . I know now it won't happen, but a good window might be a more balanced squad. Id bid for Flint from last night, he's a beast, and would make Johnson cry. Almost went to Small Heath during the last window. They would want more than we could pay due to FFP currently. One for the next window when we might be able to offer Bristol around £9m and the player PL football? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have signed a better player than Whelan in the summer but buying a new DM now would only compound that error. Why? It’s our weakest position for me and our most vital. Whelan seems to slow us down and Jedi will struggle to play the there every week. We should’ve signed a better player than Whelan so if we can now we should.

I get what you're saying but I really don't think Bruce will think the same way, he rates Whelan and he'll deem him more than good enough as cover for Jedi (which is what I hope he becomes), plus Onomah can also play there if needs be. Last night proved that we have more than enough cover in most positions. Even left back seems sorted now that we have the Scottish Roberto Carlos on top form. Quality over quantity now and that has to come in the form of a big, physical striker who can score as well as hold the ball up. Get that right and we're going up for me.
