I wonder if we can send Batshuayi back to Chelsea, what is the point of having him if not playing, last nights match was perfect for Bats but got ten mins, surely there must be someone in the whole of Europe that Roy likes that we can loan, Dougie over to you

We need cover for the rest of this long and arduous season, but I don't see us picking up the option to buy

We need at least one decent central midfielder. At best, ours are poor on the ball and poor at passing, no goals in them either. It's our worst position.
We also need wing cover and a new central defender. I'm expecting none of these.

 


Red and Blue Army!

Our biggest failing at the minute is the link between midfield and attack. We have industrious midfielders who are good at winning the ball back however we then lack any creativity to be able to do anything with the ball!

Think about Man Utd last January and the difference Bruno Fernandes made as well as the likes of Leicester bringing in Tielemens and Maddison, not to mention Villa bringing in Barkley.

I cannot claim to know of any players out there currently who he might be able to afford that will make a difference but this, in my opinion, is something that needs addressing. Sadly Meyer didn’t fulfil the role.

We have completed our business for the time being.

We may sign someone about 5 mins before the window closes (but will ensure we leave it as close as we can and get the paperwork done late into the night.)
But more likely we will just be linked with loads and miss getting them over the line.

Don't see us getting rid of Benteke. Reason? If Wickham goes and the offer re Batshuayi isn't taken up (which given his lack of game time so far seems increasingly likely) then we will be woefully short up front if Benteke also goes. We can't afford or won't shell out for a good striker so imo we will be stuck with Tekkers, whether we like it or not (hopefully on a reduced wage and only a one year extension).

Our coffers might just stretch to bringing in a young striker with promise but that's likely to set us back at least £20m - look what Sheff U have paid for Brewster and Villa for Watkins!

I suspect, though that any money we do decide to spend, whether in this window or in the summer, will be directed at a young Centre Back and a so-called 'box-to-box' midfielder.

I expect a good number of the expiring contracts will be renewed.

You make a fair point there Doombear. Maybe the next manager will have some fresh ideas around CB and until then let’s hope his recent improvement continues.

Don’t forget it will probably be a loan deal for a player prone to injury who is out of form and not wanted by anyone else!

With a number of our squad flagging age wise, in order to replace them all will be a 3 season or more affair, with 2 or 3 leaving each. To be honest this Jan I'd be happy to see just 1 new young face but expect nobody based on previous seasons. Think our major business will be next window, with only 2-3 changes.

Realistically we are most likely to regenerate with tried and tested players in their late 20's that have become unfashonable at their current club (similar to the likes of Tomkins and McCarthy)

I presume you mean Mateta. If the video of him is his best, we really don’t want to see his worst. In his favour, he is still young.

Well the video i have seen must have been different to the one you viewed. Yes he is a rough diamond but so were Wright& Bright .He looks pretty decent to me and certainly an upgrade on Benteke and Bats.

Absolutely no chance. Judging by the video I watched this pretender isn't fit to tie Benteke's laces.
