What do we need in January?

Zalewski is probably worth looking at, can play LB and LM, I'd wager he could play LW too. Struggling for game time with only 500 minutes played in 10 appearances. Sign him in Jan for probably 5m, worth the punt. 

Welcome Max Gradel. 

I remember being quite impressed by him in both games we played against Roma in Europe

 

Also that Truffert at Rennes (although probably a bit too expensive)

I think I saw in the summer Truffert was being touted for less than 15m to the premier league, If we could get him for under £18m it might be worth having a try, he's only 23, his wages are modest (rumoured to be as low as 25k a week in ligue 1) so you could possibly entice him for £40k a week. I would say though of the 4 defenders positions LB is the least of my concerns though, CB and RB are an absolute must, fix them first or we are relegated with a whimper

I'd love us to go for Reguillon but if we got Valentin Gomez, recall Ben Nelson and sign a right back then I'd be infinitely happier.

Not sure we are dropping Nelson in at this point.

 

He would have to massively impressed Ruud in training.

I think Nelson is out injured until about March isn't he?

[Dan]

Right back, centre back, winger and striker as a minimum this window. I'm highly doubtful we get them all though.

The injury happened early Nov and could only be 2 months which is early Jan. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back by the close of the transfer window. 

[Jimmy]

play Okoli with one of Vesty or Coady, wonder if we're interested in someone like Djed Spence? 

[honeybradger]

We need more Moroccan ballers.

We need a better left back.

Salah Eddine would be perfect.

 

[lcfc sheff]

Miles leaburn has two years left on his contract. Must be attainable and would be perfect if we go down, perhaps our January signings should have that in mind?

[ronnup]

A right back

A back up striker 

A big bastard midfield monster

Hobbled off today after his best performance for Charlton.  Perhaps nothing serious, but he's been very injury prone. Hopefully just growing pains.  He looks a lot bulkier, in a good way, since coming back from his last serious injury.

[Ric Flair]

Suggested him in the summer as a KDH replacement and he's having another stonking season.

 

Alvyn Sanches

Gift orban 

valentin Gomez 

Lillian brassier

noa lang 

[KFS]

Probably better off looking down this list. It’s all Rudkin will be doing the lazy bastard

If we can only acquire one solid central defender and either a right or a left back, that's all we need to stay in the PL. And a new director of football, please.

[frany104]

How about Chiesa on loan from Liverpool?

 

a short term loan could do all parties the world of good?

No way we will be to plug all the gaps but in my opinion we need the following 

 

RB

LB

CB

RW

ST

 

defintley think Alves needs to be more involved to potentially challenge/cover both Stephy and Facu. I would like to see more academy prospects the opportunity to provide cover from the bench and start to get minutes we have to develop our own talent if we can create a genuine pathway this could be massive in resolving our PSR issues as this not only saves big financial outlay but also is a win win when and if the big clubs coming sniffing as pure profit. 
 

We need to be clever so it may have to be players who are versatile so offer flexibility and can play in a couple of positions to help provide cover for positions where we are weak or lack depth.  

[Foxes96]

January window is always difficult, but 3 new signings could make a huge difference and give us a chance of staying up. Would go for the below order of priority, but ideally need at least 3. 

 

1. RB - Rensch / El Ouahdi / Van Ewijk / Hume
2. Left footed defender - Gomez, or Reguilon

3. Winger - Louie Barry / ??

 

4. Striker -  if funds available etc. not sure who.. Guiu on loan from Chelsea? 

 

 

Send back Edouard, and loan McAteer and Thomas to the Championship.

 

Also get Alves a 6 month loan, probably L1 after giving him a good run out vs QPR as he needs minutes. And organise new loans for Braybrooke and Silko Thomas and keep Nelson at Oxford for second half of the season, ready to come straight in for us next season.
