The uncertainty around COVID-19 suggests to me Parish will keep his powder dry unless a real opportunity rears its head. Why invest in fees and wages for a player that might not kick a ball for months, or who might end up in quarantine for weeks if they're coming from abroad. Vieira still hasn't tapped into the U23s yet really, which we were led to believe would happen, so I think that's another reason why we won't spend much if anything. Having said all that, it's been many a winter since I last thought it's not a big deal if we don't spend. I agree with this. I think we'll go for a few 2-3mm young players and hope one of them works out. We do need left back cover, but I can't see us spending a boat load to cover that position. Also, we have the U-23 (Harram?) who could fill in if we're in a bind.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed we look to secure a top draw right back - we have been crying out for one since AWB left and sadly Wardy’s lack of pace leave us very vulnerable at times imo.

Based on reports looks like we are after a striker, assuming that is if Mateta leaves. I think priority needs to be a centre back, I think in some games we get found out. Anderson has the odd error in him but should be a starter alongside Guehi. For me Tomkins should be back up. I feel we need someone to push Guehi & Anderson. Tosin Adariboyo from Fulham is young and available for around 10m. In terms of a left back, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t sign a back up. They did it when Mitchell was coming through, remember when Parish said in an interview they rate Tyrick and don’t want to block his path. I think the left back with the greater potential from the youth teams is Tayo Adaramola. Extremely pacey and good attacking contributor. Reece Hannam at times also has looked solid, especially in the play off games in PL2 last season. At other times they he does not look ready. Edited by rossboss29 (28 Dec 2021 8.28am)

As i said weeks ago i would try to offload Benteke, Wilf and luka before they walk for nothing 30m for the lot is better than nothing, Borja Mayoral is a must for me if we can get him, and a DM and LW on loan, and 2/3 youngsters on the bench

Sell Zaha and use the money to strengthen the defence. Free up that space for a real kid as opposed to a big kid to come through and shine. We no longer need him as talismanic sheen starting to wear off and petulance coming back into his game.

Edited by rossboss29 (28 Dec 2021 8.28am) No chance we need to pay over the odds for a CB in Jan. Guehi and Anderson are 1st choice with Tomkins, Kouyate, Riedewald, Kelly all as cover. May as well hold out until summer to get some competition for current partnership. Probably not worth throwing money at this window unless a bargain presents itself.

I think it might be a good idea to keep tabs on Luke Plange at Derby. The 19 year old's had a proper breakout month in December. Still only just broken into Derby's threadbare squad but if he can maintain this sort of form for the second half of the season I'd look at him for the summer while he's still a relatively unknown quantity.

With the crop of transfers/loans from the summer doing so well I can't see us dipping into the market with urgency this winter. Cannot remember a window where every signing is contributing to this level.
