Which would suggest they like him. He comes with the usual caveat of can he make the switch up? He’s certainly fiery which I like, provided he’s got it more or less under control, which reports suggest that he has. Sent off last week though! I’d say he’s a risk, but I’m not sure there are many signings that aren’t. I’d say that even free transfers are gambles if you take wages and a signing on fee in to account 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a winger with a bag of pace and a poacher type striker. For me that's Said Benramha and I'd see if we can get Gayle from Newcastle on loan. We need to keep the faith with the players bought in the summer. They will come good. Benrahma.. Yes.. exactly what we need Re: Dwight Gayle Edited December 22, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 A midfielder needs to become high priority in January now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield would be fine if we actually played our best players in there, a CF that can score is an absolute must.....but gonna be interesting to see if the board back the manager, have a feeling they might hold back given his recent results.

wilko154 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Centre midfielder now moves it's way onto the priority list, along with striker and winger. If we don't have the money to buy for all 3 positions we are going to have to bring some of our loan players back. O'Hare - Still raw but has been brilliant for Coventry, could possibly do a job out wide whilst Grealish is moved back into the middle. Hogan - We know he's not what we need, but he's the type of striker we are missing. In the same mould as Ings and Long, who both ripped us apart yesterday. Green - Inconsistent, but then AEG and Trezeguet are also suffering from the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I think the whole summer recruitment was sort of based on the fact that we could go down and they'd all stay and then bring us back up as they'd improved. Can't see it without Jack Grealish holding their hands. Trez and Wes, over £30m. Zero to minimal football ability. Targett, Luiz, Nakamba, over £35m. Talented but soft. Don't seem to know how to play their positions at times. Normal stuff like where to stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 We made a right cockup not signing Valentin Rongier. Linked all summer. Went with Luiz ahead of him with more eyes on youth I think. We needed some players for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Centre midfield is our number 1 priority. We need an athletic, powerful, box to box, tall beast who can win the battle in the centre of the park. A Viera/ Keane to pull us out of the doo doo when we need it. A winger and then CF to finish it off would also be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings, Jack, McGinn (maybe not if out for 6 months), Heaton all dead certs to go. Trez, nakamba, el ghazi, targett, guilbert - all more than likely to go. So we'll be in the championship which took an absolute freak run of wins (and still only got 5th) to get out of, with a shitter team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 European leagues or lower mid table teams will take a punt most probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If we go down I don’t think we will lose anyone other than Jack and Ty. We will stay up anyway so it’s all pretty immaterial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think we can get Batshuyai, maybe try a get Bowen too. Those two could improve us dramatically. We'll have another loan which we could look at a midfielder with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The elephant in the room and something I have no clue about is the FFP. How much can we realistically spend? I know we planned on spending big no another striker before the summer window closed, but the newspapers lately have written a lot of weird stuff. Is there truth to it? Secondly, IF we were to go down, how would we have to adjust our spending? I know a few sales would change things, Mings for instance is probably a £ 40 million defender now.

cbr600rr Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 huge month ahead. if DS keeps the same players etc you get the same results,if you play wes up top ho does not score ..you get the same results. the bigger picture, if DS takes us down, the better players are off so DS has to bring in players.

Wainy316 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Loan striker might be the best option. Seeing us in the bottom three could be enough to put some players off a permanent move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richp999 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Zlatan in for 5 months please. Pay him his 1 mil a month, bargin 5 million to keep us in the premier league. If he can't score goals here then we might as well give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
