Well we would need to get rid of one more to fit Onyeka in the squad so I can see another one moving out. Probably one of Bidwell or Brau. I’m sure if the right player was available the ideal scenario would be to move both out and bring in a new LB but I can’t see it happening

Looks like Boro are signing Adam Armstrong

He’s perfect for what we need though. If we do make the Premier League, we aren’t going to be able to pass teams the top teams off the park and dominate games anyway and we would need more defensive minded players. Sounds like he would suit us down to the ground even if we went up.

I can’t see a player like that coming in and sitting on the bench for a bit. He has extensive PL and Bundesliga experience as well as recently playing most of the time for Nigeria at AFCON so will be fit and ready to go and we clearly need him too.

I believe the rumour was Kai Andrews to go on loan to Wigan if we could get in a CM. I think that would be a great loan and allow him to show what he can do in a tough league.

Exactly this. He is often left on his own in the middle of the park to play against 3, sometimes even 4 when they pack out the midfield. Not much he can do when we are leaving him so isolated.

We really need to push the boat out and make some really statement top quality signings now. I don’t want to hear those who are happy to accept what we’ve got and be anti signings. We’ve got a real chance to make the Premier League. The trajectory we are on now, that could soon be slipping.

Good for him! Deserves his call up and really happy for him. Also adds a few £ onto his value

Fucking hell, I bet Southampton are preparing a witness statement as we speak

I mean, this was the bench against Birmingham Lampard has done an amazing job with what he has but our poor form in December was because our squad was running on empty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m hearing that we would have bought in a statement CM and LB but we are still covering the costs after the card machines went down after Bristol City came to the CBS.

That’s a fair argument I suppose but it just highlights the poor squad planning. Brau looks a poor signing and we could really do with getting rid of Bidwell

Josh Eccles definitely. Bidwell absolutely not. If JDS gets injured then we drop a lot of points (as already seen this season when he was out for 3 games). It is a considerable risk having only one competent LB for a charge at Autos.

Esse was a smart signing as we needed cover on the wings and someone to push/rotate with Tats. It definitely isn’t a statement signing however

Just feels so predictable as it did in the summer and other recent windows. Lots of whispers of don’t panic we will have a CM definitely in by Norwich or next week or whenever. Then everything goes radio silent before the predictable deadline day scramble. Staying true to form, I wonder if...

Completely agree. Now is the time where we really go for it and make a statement signing to get us over the line. I still stand by my pessimistic view that we get to deadline day, try to scramble a signing at the last hour and fall just short (as we seem to do all so often)

Would love the Tractor wheels to fall off in February and us and Boro to go up in the autos

Wish the Dan Neil saga would fuck off and he signs for someone. He’s clearly not coming here but we seem to get quoted constantly.

Joe Edwards comment today are concerning. Granted we will be keeping our cards close to our chest but he seemed to emphasise it’s unlikely we will bring anyone in. I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed come the end of the window

I saw him on the grand opening of Popeyes if that counts?
