If you could sign two positions in Jan what would they be? (6 Viewers)

Thread does what it says on the tin.

Let’s say Doug has a little in the back pocket for two first team signings. What positions are you prioritising based on the first quarter of the season?

For me: I’d still like a technical CM. Torp looks promising but loss of form or fitness and we’re back to Grimes or trying Hamer where he hasn’t managed to prove himself.

Then controversial but a RB. Loan out KKH to the Championship.

Probably right but wildcard is keeper if Rushworth keeps being shit.

Did consider that.

 

[lowblocklounge]

Agree on the CM.

Arguments could be made for a keeper if Rushworth doesn’t improve (Ramsdale loan maybe)

I would throw out a LW too, with EMC or BTA going out on loan.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Left back and a well established keeper to give us a viable alternative to Rushworth if his form continues

 

[Domo]

considering how good pinnock has been id like to buy some more experienced players. arguably a LB if dasilva is injuried we're stuffed, and a quality CM would be good

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I’d like a RB and a LB, Dasilva has been good but could do with some support, I think Mfuni will play plenty at CB and at RB MvE just isnt good enough

A left back + a centre forward who can put the ball in the net.

 

[Warwickhunt]

we need Onyenka to be fit!

 

[zuni]

Lb, decent forward and rb...milan aint cutting it in the prem and im not convinced he will

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Ideally would look at a LB first. We only have one registered LB in the squad (Mfuni is much better suited for CB imo).

After that we need a CDM who can start to play the grimes role in the squad.

Not to be too football manager but examples of players I would look at are Jordan Bos and Patrick Berg (both linked to us in the summer).

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Assuming everyone’s fully fit, the best XI I’d reckon is:

Rushworth
MVE
Amenda
Pinnock
Dasilva
Torp
Yirenkyi
Rudoni
Gboho
Saka
Wright

Then the second XI:
Bentley
KKH
Thomas
Lati
Mfuni
Grimes
Onyeka
Eccles
Tchaouna
EMC
Awoniyi

On that basis, I’d probably go with CM and LB. If we had money, I’d actually consider a keeper if Rushworth’s troubles continue.

Two at the back then?

I’d hope with EMC Wright and Cherif who can play there we’ll be OK but I’ll always take new wingers

Although if it's the same one, she's definitely a keeper.
