January transfer window

Why Rafa is after yet another winger in january i dont know, thats one area we are covered for

I beg to differ, we need new additions in every position after the defensive line. Obviously that's not going to happen but it's true. We have wingers yes but we also have midfielders and strikers I wouldn't say our wingers are any better than the midfield or forwards we have. Kennedy isn't ours and even if he was he's not been great this season. Atsu is a backup at this level I don't even know if he'd start for the top championship sides. Murphy doesn't seem to be trusted to much and Ritchie I like but then again he's more of a workhorse than a player that regularly courses problems. So I think a quality winger who can add some goals wouldn't go amiss. What I've just said though really does sum up how poor this side is after that keeper and defense.

Very good post....the quality of crossing this season has been, in the main, shocking and Rondon showed what he can do when he gets a decent ball into him. To be honest, every single area other than goalkeeper and CB could easily be improved with a single purchase.

I completely forgot about the lb and RB lol when I was talking about the defense I was just thinking of the four decent CB's. Christ it's even worse than I made out.

Aye...if you combined Dummett and Yedlin's respective defensive and attacking strengths, you'd have a pretty good 'modern' full back. Sadly each is lacking in what the other has to their games.

A couple of loans if we ain't sold .

See rondon saying he wants to stay here .. I am ****ing sure he does ... 4 goals and numerous non involvements .. 28 goals in the prem in 3 and a half years .. And no doubt on £60k plus .
If we get taken over ,he along with a few others, will be on the first bus out .

Well said.

Although as you said, sums up how poor we are.

If we could just get consistent crosses into the box, we might actually score some goals.

A number 10, still has to be hte priority though.
