Who joins us in January?

Quite confident this thread will report a few rustlings in the transfer market undergrowth today ;-)

Anytime now...

I dont mind those attackers, Delap, Marmoush, David.

But these are summer signings, the attack currently is just about okay.

We desparately need a defender or two, and a defensive midfielder in january.

Unless Haaland gets injured and then we’re fucked

 

[Jazano]

Yeah we need someone to rest haaland and to add some goals upfront. I don't think delap is a good idea as he's too similar and won't want to be a backup

A winger or striker who can play across the frontline and is more creative would be good. They can play with haaland or instead of him

Basically I've fallen in love with marmoush

 

[Kippax Kidd]

Other than the fact nobody can score or create goals then yeah , the attack is ok .

strangely quiet still - maybe gaughan and ornstein et al have their phones off......

Yep i think given his relatively subpar season thus far and all the other major injuries around the squad we've been dissociating away the historic truth that he generally picks up one or two himself in a season and not necessarily short term ones.

There's a school of thought that suggests that since Haaland signed, we've built more and more of the team around him to our detriment and if he were to get injured and force us to switch to Foden up top in a false nine then that would actually help our fluidity.
It's not something I agree with necessarily (though do in parts) but it's a sensible thing

Dear Spirit of the New Year - please grant us two midfielders with the heart of The King, the bite of NDJ and the guile and vision of El Mago. Thank you

I think Pep would just play one of the midfielders as a false 9.

But I somewhat agree, which is why Delap is one I wouldnt mind bringing back for that reason.

Not sure its worth disrupting his form at Ipswich and want him back for sure.

Maybe now, maybe in the summer.

But we NEED to prioritize defensive players first imo.

A league 1 DM would improve us currently. While the player may not be the long term solution in January, to do nothing would be suicidal for the club…. Players do move in Jan, its not ideal but we are desperate and will need to take our medicine!!

I cant believe anyone who has watched us since the start of NOV, can be so blasé about not bringing a DM in (even if its a temporary fix). The mind boggles

A bit of an stretch to expect a League 1 DM to really improve us. Kalvin was meant to be the one who could help usbut he really struggled to make a mark at City.
