Its a massive transfer window for us.
So let's say we do sell Jonny Evans for £30m which looks likely to be the case, who would you do?
Here's what I would if I was Pardew:
- Buy a quality right back, replace Evans with Dawson when he's back from injury at CB
- I would recall Leko back from his loan at Bristol City, he's not playing there at the moment and he's got skill and pace which is something we lack. Would be a good option if only from off the bench. If not buy a creative midfielder with some pace.
- Bomb Livermore out completely
- Buy a striker, think about playing 2 up top
Right Back options:
Fonsuh-Mensa at Man U on loan
Flanagan at Liverpool on loan
Debuchy at Arsenal
Striker options:
Slimani at Leicester I don't think is playing much
Danny Ings on loan
Troy Deeney
Anyone think of any other options?
Send back gk to psg and try and get the, surplus to their requirements, hatem Ben arfa on loan.
I know he's a nutter but pardew had him at Newcastle and he is a match winner with the mf skill we need.
It would be great if leko and Roberts came back to save us, but it's unlikely they will and could be the ruin of them if the losses continue.
I'd try for ings or sturridge on loan.
Hopefully with world cup places up for grabs these players will want game time and have something to prove.
Sell Evans, as it doesn't look like he wants to extend his deal, which only has 18 months left.
Chadli lot of talent but no desire or bottle,happy picking his big wages up. Don't think he's up for the fight. Sell in January.
You could get Shane Long back, for half the price and win some penaltys. I would also bring Tyler Roberts back.
I think Shane Long would bring more to the team than Rodriguez, and he’s a Tipperary boy as well.
Liked Long when he was here last.......doesn't score enough goals though......and that is the problem area at the mo! He's more likely to say 'never go back' and our skinflint lot wouldn't pay the wages required anyway!
