January window

Unusually for us we have to buy in January. We have to get a midfielder who can play with and occasionally replace Rodri. Rodri has been overplayed and is starting to rack up yellow cards. If he hits 10 yellows he gets a two match ban. He’s already on 6. I hoped it would be Phillips but he’s never going to be good enough.
 
It depends on what game plan we want to play. If we play 3241 then a no 8 is necessary but I doubt any will be on the market in the winter. If we play 433/4231 we have to buy a traditional left back to protect Josko. That is easier and cheaper.


But nonetheless we have to find a Rodri sub.

Ideally a right winger as well. But impossible in the winter.
 
No chance we go for Sane, and the bit of his game for Bayern on Tuesday I saw, nor should we.I actually don't think we are looking for a winger now we have Doku.
Sane looked very much like his old self, the one after his injury.

I think we do need another winger but maybe one more akin to Grealish/Mahrez.

Don't think he did, he had a few chances and his touch and decision making let him down.
 
I’d love Kubo here, however there isn’t any noise regarding him being a city target.
I hope I’m wrong though.
was last month with scouts at a couple of games, everything quiet on the winger front, think they'll just bag a DM and the Barco kid and be done. Dont have a registration spot for the CL left unless they leave someone out.

Barco was touted as going straight out on loan to Leicester.
 
We can realisticly do Paqueta and Palhinha in Jan. We surley have a spare 150 mill to get it done
Paqueta's 85 million release clause does not kick in until June 2024, so West Ham would be looking for much more in winter, and then there is the not so small matter of those betting allegations. Quite a packet if he's in a racket...

We won't do Paqueta because he will still have a ban hanging over him, I doubt we'll do Palhinha because I doubt he'd come to us.Think we'll only replace Phillips if he goes,no idea who with though.
