The January Window

Postby King Kev » Wed Dec 21, 2011 1:28 pm

Who would you like us to sign? What areas need to be strengthened?

Personally, if we don't sign anybody I will be happy.

The only position we need cover for is centre half. Savic isn't ready and if we were to lose Vinny or Lescott while Kolo is away it could cost us the title.

Even with Yaya away we're covered in midfield but if De Rossi is available I'd take him. Nigels contract situation is key to this but if the club aren't planning on meeting his demands then De Rossi would be a great replacement, probably an upgrade. It's very rare for players of his quality to be allowed to enter the last six months of their contract and at 28 he really would be a bargain at anything around the £5-10Mil mark.

I think it's time to sit tight, financially for FFP. Can't always buy buy buy.

Sell Tevez, Onuoha, playboy Bridge etc.

We have options at CB and striker. Savic looked OK except against QPR, then we have Richards, Barry, Zaba I expect can all do a job at CB. Rekik looks good enough already.

As second striker we can always use Silva, Nasri.

Milner can of course play anywhere.

But if Mancini sees a need I'm with him.

Not seen much of Subotic but everyone seems to rate him & we certainly need more CB's both now & next season (Dedryk has been fucking useless for Bolton). If this Subotic turns out to be a duffer & we sign him though...

Somebody said after the Napoli game that Ray Wilkins had told them he knew Lavezzi was nailed on for City. I would imagine that even if true, it would be summer though.

Not sure who i'd want to go for. Possibly a centre half but im not sure if an old-head or an up-and-comer would be best; considering they'd probably be benched for most of the season.

Im with KK though, if we dont sign anybody then i dont think its a bad thing, especially with FFP.

I think if we do sign someone, as usual it will be someone hardly anyone could have guessed at.

I like the way savic is being introduced into the team. if we buy another centre half we could clog up the route for him. we still have Micah who could be moved over to centre half and Onouha, but Kolo aint away that long. If somebody got hurt in January then that might change and a centre half would become a priority. Give Savic a chance, he looks ok.

If we buy someone just to cover for a month then we will find ourselves with another player on the books that doesn't play and we can't shift - either the player we buy or whoever he replaces in the side. Look around for a loan player or just hope for the best...

I would like us to buy another striker. Preferably a young one labeled "the next messi"

Maybe another CB?

Decent centre half (Cahill would do but he's not been great this season so far) is the only "must"

Then I'd be very happy if we got Lavezzi......I saw the Hazard nonsense in the papers today. A decent wideman wouldn't go amiss but we've certainly enough quality and variety to do without that to be honest

Centre midfielder with legs(as opposed no legs!), and a 4th choice striker. If we sign no one it wont be the end of the world though.

And get rid of the deadweight tevez bridge etc

Although I've never rated Cahill, after watching Savic break the world record for elementary mistakes in a single game, I'd come to the conclusion he would be a sensible signing...until watching him in action last night.

What about a new manager? I'm getting a bit pissed off with all this winning, it's just not like the good old days!
