I understand we have quite a few (understatement) out with injury at the moment, and hopefully they start coming back over the next few weeks/months. But make no mistake we desperately need to make some signings.
I no I'll the whole doom and gloom speech, but the fact is we are 4 points off the bottom of the table.
The fact we've been so quiet while Hull have signed Jelavic/Long and Fulham are trying to get Morrison frustrates me. Not to mention hearing Cardiff on the radio every day and nothing about us. We could've done a lot worse than chasing Long or Jelavic, both proven goal scorers.
I think we need to sign in the following positions;
GK: I love Tremmell and he's been a good servant. I feel that he is no longer up for it tho. Time for a new back up.
CB: Ash hasn't had his best season, but still solid. Amat is developing, keep. Chico has been a liability this season and I've never been a fan. Decent depth option, nothing else.
Winger: Dyer, Lamah both out and question marks over Lamah's quality. I think a quality
creative winger is required.
Centre Attacking Midfielder: I think we look a little weak through here at times. Especially when JDG is out injured as he currently as, I also get the feeling he'll be moving on next season.
Striker: I loved the Bony signing at the time, and I know we need to give him time, and we aren't playing the best creative football at the moment, but he just isn't scoring enough in the league. With Michu injured, out of form and Vasquez being a spud - we really need another striker.
Possible, (slightly) realistic options:
This was hard however;
GK: ????
CB: Lescott (loan, probable wage constraints)
Kurt zouma (loan, once sold to Chelsea, loaned on)
Liam Moore (2m)
Wingers: Tom Ince (4m, seemingly unlikely now with Monaco),
Anthony Pillkingtin (1.2m)
AM: Abdisalam Ibrahim (250k),
R.Morrison (8M)
Adam King (200k)
Strikers: Ayoze Perez (2M),
Iago Aspas (loan)
Gomis (7M)
Along with the above, word is the
Black Cats are going to only offer 4M for Ki despite him improving ten fold the season. I'd be pressing for 7-8M for sure.
Wouldn't mind a big fish. Just don't think put squad if deep enough.
Need more goals, a lot more goals
Hopefully get a few back over the next 7 or so days, because we have some very important fixtures coming up after the FA Cup
Pretty much going to be our reserves out on Sunday, but hopefully with Spurs high line we can get in behind them.
Pls sell Vasquez for whatever we can get for him. He's
Worse than Schecter! I'd rather Leroy lita in front of him.
