Seems like Rodri knows who he wants in the team

He's a great player, better than Doku and Grealish. But probably we have other positions to fix first.

Good to see Rodri learning the ropes to be our DoF after he retires.

We need a big 6'4+ CB.. Van Dijk coulda had hattrick vs us with better heading. He'd been lucky to get on end of one when we had Vinny. We miss that.

We’ve known since September that we would probably need to reinforce in the window and the subsequent performances and results have removed ‘probably’ from the equation. Even if it is 2 players or just 1, waiting until the end of January to complete business would be hugely frustrating.

Don'T think getting a CM to cover Rodri will be an issue. I just wouldn't expect much more than that in January.

I’d certainly settle for that right now.
I also genuinely hope that we also sign a right back. With us not having a left back and relying on what we have now, it is a problem. A good right back and commanding midfielder would be a huge improvement.

Agree. A midfielder (or two) would be nice but a versatile defender would also be welcome.

Just hope those in charge aren't thinking that the current squad will suddenly regain fitness and form and all will be right. That's the kind of whimsy that led to the current situation.

We need strong characters at the club. Not necessarily the most skilful
We seem to have lost that element

True, but we need players that are both. Buying players that are not technically 'top-drawer' has seen us fall back into the pack.

I don’t think the club think that at all and had reasons for trying to hang on until next summer, but I’m fairly sure they would rather wait for the right players in the summer when it’s easier to move players out as well, if needs be. They will do what they can in January, I just think they will be limited by whats possible though.
