Reports / gossip say club completed & unlikely to do more Jan business, could be true or just waiting till end of window etc. If all dealing are done, is it enough to get us over the line?, striker in, winger in, keeper in, just feel with lack of backup / MB"s reluctance to use U23 players, CB / DM position may catch us out. Be interesting to see what WBA, Fulham, Forest etc do.
Good news! Roberts fit again, but they didn't say for how long.
a CB would have been the icing on the cake, though i guess Bielsa is happy with our utility players who can play there if need be Berardi,phillips,Dallas, Ayling, he does like a compact squad! id say our issues lately have been down to lack of a goalscorer, and all round ineptitude as opposed to fatigue. If Bielsa is happy, then so am i.
There is also reports that we are not finished in this transfer market. Much better to say you are not urgently looking (desperate) prices are mad enough in this window...
Might have to resort to under 23's tonight as Berardi was/is injured? and White playing in Phillips role...Quote:

Think we may just have scored an own goal with this decision..obviously hope I am wrong but we'll see.
A new CB is essential, Cooper has never filled me with confidence. He certainly is not Premier League quality after we've gone up as Champions!!! 😉
