January transfer window

[Proelia]

Txiki suggested today we wouldn't do much business in January, saying he's happy with the squad, but he was slightly coy and seemed to want to change the subject.

Chelsea are ahead of City for Zouma now, too.

Not much ? So that implies atleast one new face

Is he worth the chase?

Or should we take a chance,and hope for no further injuries at centre half...... and concentrate our efforts,and funds,on midfield and right back?

He looks like an enormous talent, but only people who watch St. Etienne regularly probably know just how good he is.

I think there is an argument for us signing an older and wiser defender experienced with the high line, but it'd be a shame to miss out on such a prospect over a couple million quid.

OTOH, maybe the club really rates one of the kids (Rekik, Denayer). Another late teen/early 20s defender would make it hard for either because of Nastasic too.

with barca now in CL we really need another defender(zouma maybe) and another defensive midfielder(lars bender or matuidi)...with our Md remain the same a injuri to yaya or ferna and we are fucked

Signing Zouma would certainly damage their prospects......I think both Rekik and Denayer should be afforded an opportunity at least,sure its frustrating to miss out on a talent but it may eventually work out for the best....

Tosin Adarabioyo is another of our kids to keep an eye on apparently.

Hope we dont sign another centre back, think Denayer will be a star in the future.

We need a CM more than a CB. Now that Nastasic is soon fit. We got decent cover. But if Yaya or Ferna get injured we got Garcia.....and Rodwell can't be counted on. But with that Zuculini guy coming next summer you wonder if there is any desire to get anyone in jan. If both Garcia and Rodwell are replaced then there is space...Yaya, Ferna, Zuculini and another one...

we need a rightback. Who's 2nd choice at this very moment? Boyata? Milner? Has to be top priority in 2 weeks, even if it's a loan.

I would sell Richards in the summer.

Agreed. I dread how the system will fair if we ever lost Fernandinho too but we can't cover every eventuality.

Losing him or Yaya would be a huge blow but at least their backups (Garcia, Milner, Rodwell) are actual central midfielders.

Any backup to Zabaleta would be someone playing out of position.
