January Transfer Window

[74Blue]

I think that the current right back situation is a.major factor holding Dibling back to be honest. If you're playing a proper out and out winger, you need a reliable full back who knows when to overlap and when to stay. It's a bit much to ask of a young winger to expect him to bomb past the opposition full back and put in the perfect cross every time. There will be times when he'll lose the ball and that's where the quality full back comes into his own. He's available for the pass and there to put pressure on the ball should the winger lose it. He's available for the overlap and instinctively knows when to bomb on and either receive the ball or create space for the winger to run into with the ball.
JOB is doing a decent job there, but he's instinctively a centre half, not a.full back.

The fact Dibling is left footed and will want to cut back in means an overlapping RB is essential too. If we bring Armstrong back it hopefully means we can move Garner to RB as I don't think a Dibling / JOB combination is going to give us any joy whatsoever.

Those Newcastle and spurs results look so bad now I hope they have names ready to go jan1st

[Silas]

Those Newcastle and spurs results look so bad now I hope they have names ready to go jan1st

Could argue that the forest and united results look good though

Almost certainly they won't.

Only way we'd get someone in on the 1st would be Armstrong loan recall. Otherwise, we know how it goes with us it's almost always a haggling process and it's later in the window because we want to bring in good players who improve us and they have options.

[Bumble]

Could argue that the forest and united results look good though

Both statements can be true.

[777Kidnappings]

Nothing wrong with losing to spurs and Newcastle and nothing amazing at beating forest and utd. It's the league as a whole lots of ups and downs. Lots of teams with lots of problems. Its a shame we arent really good because very few are this season

[StirlingBlue]

Coufal now plays in Germany so he is out we should be looking in the championship watched Norwich yesterday for a while that fisher rb for them is rapid the Coventry rb is quality especially going forward Hackney at boro and the Leicester winger we were linked with in the summer fatawa i think scored a wonder goal yesterday

Hackney will go for thirty million, Fatawu similar.

van Ewijk at Coventry would be twenty million plus too.

It’s not hard to spot good players, people just constantly underestimate how hard it is to get anybody for cheap nowadays

[Cozzie]

By hook or by crook it would be a disaster if we ended the window still without a right back.

Monga is the one you want from Leicester. Playing championship at 16...insane. sadly his legs will probably be in bits by the time he's 21 but if he can grow and stay healthy he will be a £100m player.

[superpull]

That DCL at Leeds has 5 in 10 starts.
Should have a look at him

We’ll end up with Demari Gray and Jack Harrison.

I’d take them at this point. Jack Harrison has to be better at RB and offer more attacking threat than JOB. Gray would be a better option than Alcaraz and weigh in with a few goals. Might even be decent up front if we sat him in front of a bunch of old Defoe VHS tapes!

[Kerryblueboy]

We have to spend on at least one player along with a loan or 2 that will be enough until the summer but it needs to happen quickly I fear what our team will look like by mid January without reinforcements

damara gray is scoring some great goals in the championship - would welcome gray back amytime

so disappointed he was sold a few yrs ago
very talented player and would still cut it in the prem for me
not so sure about jack tho
