Further Additions?

My concern is we easily get out muscled by physical teams. We dominated Arsenal and Swansea only. We know how they play and what type of players they have. We got bullied by Burnley, Leicester and most other teams. The players we have got don't help

I'm not sure there will be much money on offer this window. As Toor says we will need to move players on before we bring any in.

One of Balotelli or Borini please, Balo would be my choice.

Re: Balo. What's his worth now? We wouldn't get half of what we paid for him, and that would be yet another big hit to take, and so publicly too. Imagine the wums.

Only play him in a 2, not as a lone striker

A keeper, a top striker and see if we can break Song's loan at West Ham. I know he'll be out until Feb due to the ACON, but he would be perfect for us. I assume that barca address allowed to sell players still?

New GK has to be the priority. Mignolet was a bit more commanding in his box today, but he's still got too many weaknesses in his game.

Balotelli has been poor but hasnt been helped by the formations and style of play. However If we could move him and Borini on for a decent fee, I would and get a quick, mobile striker like Lacazette.

I see we've loaned out three youths to Cheltenham, including Dunn. Why isn't our manager not making more use of the youths?<br abp="203"><br abp="204">JimmyTheRed

cause they are his signings flopping now, he was only happy to play the youth when they weren't his signings, carroll downing hendo etc threatening them all witht the door if they continued performing poorly.

Somebody call the Xfiles - there's a conspiracy to be had here.

don't get me wrong hes dropped a few of his big signings but hes not replacing them with youth, just more of his other signings who aren't doing much better

I didn't have to watch todays game to realise we are at least 3 decent players short to challenge the top 4.

Keeper
Defender
Gerrard replacement
Top Striker
