Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 This team has the better of them and I think stability is what’s required now till the end of season. Keep what we’ve got with possibly promotion of some of the younger players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribo and arfield are good players but are wasted on the right. I would like to see us sign a real quality left footed winger who can cut in from the right hand side & is capable of scoring and creating goals on a regular basis. I thought Ojo could be that player, but he is woefully out of his depth. I would send him back to Liverpool & enquire about Harvey Elliott who despite only being 16 looks the real deal.

I’d offer more to the squad than ojo. he’s not what’s needed mate you might have seen him play but imo no 16 y/o should be coming in when we are in the middle of a title fight.

plymouthranger 3,872 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 No, we can’t risk financial stability even with the value of our current squad. Say we spend big, don’t win the league and the don’t qualify for the Europa next season. We’d be in a position where we’d need to sell 2-3 of our most valuable players and we wouldn’t be able to hold out for best prices. This squad is good enough to win the league, let them do it and give them the confidence that the manager rates them. If we can move a couple more out and bring in another RW then do it, but let’s not gamble unnecessarily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

left winger 14,187 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We don’t need to get anyone in to win the league against their current team/squad, but logically it doesn’t make sense to sit on our hands and hope they don’t strengthen.

gmcf 34,212 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Other than a back up striker that we'd need to call on just for emergencies I wouldn't change anything . Imo , we're the best footballing team in the land and even changing just a couple of places could upset the rhythm of the team , even with better players . The one doubt I did have was the mental strength of the team but with the December weve had , outplaying the tarriers twice , progressing in Europe and generally dealing with a difficult month , that has been alleviated quite a bit . The confidence that will have given the team going into the 2nd half of the season can't be underestimated , while the tarriers will now be questioning their ' invincibility ' for the first time in years . Nope , for me it's ' if it ain't broke , don't fix it ' . Let's see where we are come the summer . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWilson 3,393 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If the right player becomes available on loan then go for it. All this "January window is useless" talk is nonsense. The business we did last January, i.e defoe and davis , was supberb. It maybe didn't look like it last February but its one of the main reasons we are where we are now.

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I struggle to understand why people are suggesting another striker. I think we are fine in that area with Morelos, Defoe, and Stewart if needed. If we were to spend i think we need a right winger badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Don't see strenghening in this window. Don't see us selling our stars either. If enough fringe players go, freeing up wages, then we may see somebody coming in but he would have to be better than what we have already got.

Inigo 32,534 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We don't know what the budget will be in the summer. No point spending on players now when we could get better, more expensive players in the summer if we've sold some prized assets for big fees.

bluenoz 30,844 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We may need another midfield player. I'm going to assume Doc will be going somewhere and we have already lost King & Barjanos. Add to the fact that Aribo looks better in a front three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Devil 350 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 A good transfer window looks like all our main players still here and 1 or 2 that have no chance of playing trimmed. Maybe some young potential signings with an eye on the future but we have the team and we don't want to disrupt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is roughly the season ticket money. We should have at least that coming in again next summer. Not saying we have to spend it all,, but two key players could make the difference. And how do we keep the club running month to month and pay the wages of the players, staff and club employees? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
