Will be a very interesting January. If we are still at the summit then surely players that we earmark will be additions with one eye on the Prem.

Also what's exciting is how many top talents are now open to a move to us who wernt before?

Signing for us is kinda like signing for a premier league team at risk of sounding cocky. League players will be chomping at bit and prem players may be willing to take a few months worth of level step down to join us

I think it will be a tricky window.

We won’t want to be offering 3 yr deals to players that the club don’t think can step up to the Premier league, equally we can’t offer prem quality players long term deals as we are not certain we will go up and therefore fund their package …. I think we might see a few loans and 1-2 per signings of players we think can make the transition ….

I’m pretty sure mehmetti is on the radar and looks like a top forward player too
Still think sheaf replacement for the squad required
Not too many though unless Bidwell Brau and other similar ones move on

We're not going to be signing 5 players...

Dependant on injuries, I can't really see more than a couple coming in. Maybe 3 at a push.

I think realistically Grimes is likely to play every game. Torp and Rudoni aren’t. Same for Saka and EMC. KKH can cover both sides if needed. So you need bare minimum a KKH for the wings and a forward minded CM IMO.

I don't even think that's bare minimum, at this stage that's all that we really need.

It's a false economy to flood a settled and well performing side with a load of players half way through a season.

A couple of new additions should be more than ample to see us through to the end of the campaign.

Got be be mindful whoever we bring in has good attitude! Doesn't take a c**t too long to fuck the atmosphere and togetherness asunder.

If Leeds go down and we go up I would love us to go get that Tanaka, such a class player.

He’s started 4 games and averaged 6.1 this season.

He’s evidence we should look for a succession plan this season for Grimes as he was the best player in the league last year and can’t get a kick this

Good point about grimes, do think the first 2 signings if we go up will be hughes and rushworth almost straight away! With hughes palace will be sniffing around though so will need to act quick

Grimes is so crucial to how we play I would be very surprised if we go up, for FL to at least not start the season with him and see if he can be impactful in the PL.

Possibly, but if we go up we will need to be careful about how we break up a successful team.

Only Milan, Sakamoto Emc and Torp I can see being starters, it’s just the way football goes. Successful or not the prem is on another level, it’s sad but I guess it’s football! Would like to think Bobby and kitch could be starting too but who knows

edit - Rudoni starts of course

Yes Grimes physicality be an issue.

I could see Rushworth, MVE, Thomas, Rudoni and possibly Wright being the only players who start in the lrem

Sunderland have done that exact thing. Only 2 starters left in the 11

I don't think we will. I think FL would add 5 or 6, keep the group together and see where it takes us.

Only 5 or 6? Not a chance will be more like 9/10 with a lot going out! Will be signing proven players then players with potential

You think we'll be spending over 100 mill then?

Xhaka was the crucial signing for them, and without him they would probably be in the bottom 3 regardless of the other signings. Even now they could yet go on a long losing run and slide back into trouble, although they have clearly given themselves a great shot at staying up. Their team that made it up was plainly not good enough, and they rode their luck to make it. If we carry on as we are and go up as Champions, by definition the team that would have achieved that would be stronger than the Sunderland one which made it through the play offs, and as such ought not to need as much tweaking as theirs did.
