    Not Balotelli, please

    Is this 2012? Then it would have been an interesting signing.

    Not for me, this one.

    If he's replacing Gayle i'd take him. We're also interested in Zapata apparently

    I'd rather forget about Gayle altogether and actually sign players that would replace our best 11 right now. Don't think Balo would improve us much, and not sure at all that he's a good fit for a relegation battle.

    Zapata is an interesting choice, I'd much rather go for him.

    He's not even a good striker and he's a massive liability I'd be so pi5sed off if we signed him.
    We need a creative midfielder in more than another striker in my opinion. Jolo breaks up the play lovely but then we have nobody whatever to take the game forward with either runs or killer passes. I'd be throwing money at Southampton for James Warde-prowse he would make a huge difference to our team and is an unbelievable set piece taker as well.

    Agreed, I think our midfield is lacking big time and am worried we are not looking more into that this window.

    Having said that, I would love to see Lingard here on loan, imagine if he could reproduce his West Ham form - we'd stay up then.

    We have been linked with Amadou Haidara. Excellent prospect. Big money, superb engine on the lad, breaks up play and can distribute the ball.


    What about this fella in and JWP as the creative?

    Bin Hendrick immediately regardless of other signings, he's barely good enough to play in the chip van outside the strawberry let alone on the hallowed turf of SJP!
