Would be my number 1 choice if there was any chance but would the fee be insane?

I think £40 million which is probably out of our reach if the rumours of tightening our belt due to stadium expansion and training complex. Loan deal probably most likely for us.

Javier hernandez anyone?

 

DM saying earlier Tammy Abraham has turned down a loan move to wolves. Gerrimin

Don't go upsetting @Babylon now. Average player according to him. Wish we had only loaned him out myself and we could now be reaping the benefits of his quality.

Haha. He’s exactly what we need right now

My bad, I misquoted there, was someone else who wanted Wanyama.

Nearly every player/striker has a price... so rubbish to say there are non available..

That wasn't my point at all?

I'd happily spend 30-40m on him.

Yeah me too. Real quality player and seems to have great attitude.

Me too but just think if he does come available, it will be at the wrong time for us in terms of what we are given budget wise to spend in this window. Just feels like we will see a tightening of the purse strings now, due to our investment in the infrastructure and also our recent expensive flops. 

 

I do think he has a huge future ahead of him in terms of being a top Prem midfielder though, so I would be going all out to sign him if he is for sale in this window. I imagine there would be a lot of competition though with teams like Everton, West Ham and co. all willing to spend big on him and able to match us wage wise. Still, not that far of a stretch to think he would join us, a team currently 7th and with a young exciting squad emerging.

This may be a long shout, especially for January.

 

With Wolves trying to buy another striker, it may mean that Raul Jimenez (who is on loan from Benfica) isn't their long term plan. They might not actually buy him in the summer or will try and buy other strikers and him. Either way, he might be attainable in six months. I'd very much like him here. He's great at holding the ball up and is proven in this league.

I don't think we will add anyone this window for a variety of reasons, that said if we get the summer window right next season we have a real chance to progress.

 

The defence won't need touching at all with the emergence of Benk and Soyuncu. Unless we need to look outside of the academy to replace Fuchs. That means our whole budget can go on signing exciting attacking players, a centre mid, a proper mahrez replacement and another winger on top of that and a striker. It would be lovely to go to a game thinking we have players who can be exciting again.

Watching that Sunderland documentary on Netflix and they've got a young lad who looks like he could do a real job for us. Surprised no one's mentioned him before? @Col city fan

Lee Catermole would be the dream...

No forwards are available in January though really. No one is looking to sell their best goal scorers.

There must be someone, after all, we would sell Nacho for £2.50 (plus VAT of course) we must be able to find a mug team somewhere

[broughtonblue]

Jonjo shelvey 

[KingKoala]

Vincent Janssen maybe, still young and cheap.

Seem to recall we looked at him when we got promoted but opted for Ulloa as he didn't want to know. Would be a good shout but can't see it myself

Victor Moses Apparently available for £12 million. We're lacking a winger that knows how to use his pace.

Be a great signing.

Yes he's an average top level striker and he's done little to prove otherwise. Currently 13 people outscoring him in the Bundesliga. 

 

Goes through huge spells of not scoring. 23 games without a goal at one point last season. Conincidently I don't remember anyone tagging me in when he hadn't scored for months on end then... wonder why.

 

28 in the summer and still not managed to beat Okazaki's 15 Bundesliga goals In a season. You'll notice it's a tad easier to return good numbers over there.

 

Would he be better than Okazaki and Iheanacho, yes because they aren't even currently average top level strikers. Doesn't mean he's the second coming of Christ like people make out on here. He is what he's always been, talented but with flaws.

 

And Maddison for the record is one goal off his goals and assists in the league this season, playing his first season in top flight football at the age of 22. So I'd rather stick with the talented kid we have than spend money on someone who doesn't even play as a 9 for his team most of the time.

We could do with another big nosed Frenchman. From Chelsea

Well reasoned reply but I think sometimes it can be better to judge what you see with your eyes rather than over analyse every available stat.

Do you think we’d have any chance of getting Dan Sturridge in on loan, now Liverpool are out the cups?

And would you want him?
