It’s pretty obvious CDM/ CM is the most critical position we need to recruit in January. Schlupp is a waste of space, Macca has run out of legs, Luka is Luka and PV doesn’t fancy Hughes.

Yokuslu would be a budget option for CDM. He was one of the standout performers when WBA got relegated a few seasons ago. He was a loan from Celta Vigo but re-signed for the Baggies ahead of this season. Looks like he struggled under Bruce (not the only one) but he has been immense since Corberan took over.

He’s a proper CDM. Tough tackler, horrible to play against and a physical presence at 6”2. All attributes we are in desperate need of and would give Doucoure a bit more licence to roam. WBA are in a fair bit of debt so could be pinched for £3-5million which is peanuts in todays market. Gustavo Hamer @ Coventry would be another decent championship pick up but would likely be +£10million.

He'd probably be ok for us.

Red and Blue Army!

If he is capable of putting in performances like he did when WBA were in the PL then I think he'd be perfect for us. I also think it's a shame we didn't get Soumare from Leicester in the summer when he was out of favour. He's looked very solid now he's getting game time. A big strong lad like one of these two is what is missing from our midfield in my view.
