January Window

Difficult one to call, Baggie Man. If our players played to their potential, the basis on which we signed them, we wouldn't need to be looking at the market. I am really pleased for Nicolas Anelka scoring that brace at West Ham, just a bit disappointed we conceded three goals with what is supposed to be our best defence. I don't know how long we can afford to put up with Liam Ridgewell's lack of speed. LB is a problem for us IMO, so there's one potential area we should look to strengthen.

Ralf Rangnick (sp) is looking like your new gaffer. You got your man at last.

If it was down to me then I would release Rosenberg, sell Long & Dorrans which should bring in £7 or £8 million. See if Anelka wants to cancel his contract, along with Popov. I would then go back in for Quagliarella on loan from Juventus, if be tempted to go in for Bridcut from Brighton for £2.5 million, and try and pick up a new left back. Obviously none of this will happen, but it's nice to dream.

If Hull want to pay up, I'd be willing to sell Long if we can find a good left-back. Vydra and Berahino should be our main two forwards anyway, with Anichebe and Anelka providing competition.

A few fringe players can maybe be sold Rosenberg, Popov and Dorrans, the latter who I would still like to keep but he's probably want to move on himself.

Left-back is the main priority area. Bertrand from Chelsea would be good. Maybe also a natural deep lying midfielder. I know a few on here rate Bridcutt highly.

I would expect Rosie, Popov and Dorrans to move on at a minimum. That should free up cash for a loan move at the very least on a left back which has to be our focus. We have enough options up front and in midfield but concede too easily and our left side is being targeted.
Shane Long? Would be sorry to see him go and unfortunate that he has been deployed in hoofball tactics of the last few weeks but he is at least fourth choice for me at the moment.
