Nope a wing back. Frimpong or alternative would be a good starting point.

We're in a dire situation.
It now looks like Eddie's form has dropped off. He wanted to go in the summer.
Walker has checked out.
Stones, always injured.
Ake not quite as injury prone as Stones but almost.
Gundo? It's very sad.
Lewis is not a RB. Nor a defensive midfielder.
Kevin still shows glimpses of his fantastic ability but father time has caught up with him.
We can't go buying everyone we need in January. After all that's Viana's job in the summer but I think at the very least we need a RB, a CD and a midfielder.
We can then use Kovacic and Lewis further forward. Cameos from Kev and Gundo. And let's give Bernardo a rest now and then.
In the summer we can address the attacking midfield area and maybe just maybe get a LB in!

Agree with this and the club will be fully in communication with Viana anyway? Not like its pissing on his chips if some transfers are brought forward?

Of course we can buy in January.Agree with this and the club will be fully in communication with Viana anyway? Not like its pissing on his chips if some transfers are brought forward?
I have no idea how/why people think the club is more or less willing to give up on achieving anything this season halfway trough because "we must let Viana buy his own players in the summer instead". The most important season is always the current one and any signings should be made with a belief that the player will provide quality to the squad for years to come regardless of who the sporting director or manager is. This is not the 90s when a single person in the club has to have his own team with his own players. Not to mention that it's not exactly impossible to get Vianas opinion on any potential signing in January, we can just ask him.

Has the great ITK Tolmie not posted anything recently hinting at signings or what’s going on at the club?

He said he reckons we'll be looking at Spain and Italy for players in January but hasn't said much else. Doubts the Guimaraes deal will happen.Has the great ITK Tolmie not posted anything recently hinting at signings or what’s going on at the club?

If the £66m fee is true then we will do it in a heartbeat imo.

If I could sing anyone today it would be an attacker who will contribute 15+ goals a season.
If centre backs are going to be allowed to hold on to Haaland for ninety minutes then someone needs to be running into all that space they leave behind.
Yes our midfield is getting breezed past and yes Walker needs replacing yesterday but we have one striker and a bunch of wingers who get about 5 goals a season.
This is the least threatening I remember seeing us post takeover.

Absolutely. He's exactly what we need and the right age profile. We need it done early too. I think we have Brentford on 14th January - you'd love for that to be his debut.If the £66m fee is true then we will do it in a heartbeat imo.
