    All this talk

    About buying lots of players in January.
    I hope they only buy about 3,two defenders and a striker.

    I know we need to re build but buying too many in mid season would probably fail.

    Remember when we practically rebuilt the side and went down.Dave Beasant and Andy Thorne who were Cup winners with Wimbledon,were just two of a rebuilt team that did not gel.

    That would just about do provided that they were well up for a relegation fight with fire in the belly as well as being proficient players.

    This addition along with E.H. getting the best out of an improving squad should be able to gradually steer us clear of the drop.

    The situation then would allow him to well evaluate the squad ready for a summer rebuild.

    i think we would get away with 4 or 5 , especially if a couple of those were bench backups ? but better than what we have.

    i agree changing the team wholesale would be a disaster

    little by little, step by step

    Although, being honest, it's two strikers we need.

    i really think we will get at least 6 players

    we need a striker first and foremost as Wilson is now crocked and will be out for a while, we probably wont have a game until Jan 15th now that the covid and injuries are impacting us.

    We should get the lad from Blackburn who is banging the goals in, offer them Clark, Gayle and Woodman and £10m

    Digne on loan from Everton
    Trippier
    Botman
    Sule
    Kamara

    we could have a very good side for the second half of the season

    Dubravka
    Tripper
    Botman
    Sule
    Digne
    Shelvey
    Kamara
    Joelinton
    ASM
    Frazer
    Wilson/Diaz

    Aye, we just can't rely on Wilson being fit for any length of time. He might come back in February for a game and then be out for another 2 months. I'd be happy if we signed Bereton Diaz and Barbosa

    Only 3 new players will relegate us.

    4 or 5 is minimum.

    I agree we don't want to change the team wholesale but 3 is to few.

    As viking said, we need 4 or 5. I hope we get 6 just so that we have some one on bench we can use rather than having to look to same old.

    We need a new striker, 2 really. We need a CB, 2 really at bare miniumum.

    I remember us bringing in a load of French players one January to keep us up.
