Kenny

Byram Tate Lees (New LB)

Gradel Norris Tonge Thomas

tate- perm
thomas- perm
hall- perm
tongue- till end of season
diouf- till end of season

new players id have gradel, he can play wing or striker, we need a few new players but not too many!

maybe a new lb as mentioned, then maybe another cm and another striker depending on if somma can get back soon and prove his worth.

Dream on with Gradel I'm afraid.

Tate, tongue, Thomas , diouf , Boyd and a left back.

The thing is we have 4 good central midfielders,
Norris
Austin
Green
Tongue

Green and tongue are good in the final 3rd and can tackle.

Austin and Norris are box to box players with awesome engines and drive.

There we have what we need, they just didn't get into gear, the rotation for congested periods leaves me pretty comfortable wih that 4.

If we can get Thomas till summer then we will save money. H will be match fit then and will be beastly for us!

Thomas
Hall

Thomas is trickier and more of an inside forward
Hall is most definately the best crosser in the team, can see why he had such epic assist stats previously.
However I still think we need a third winger, on who can do both. Speed kills, as Mayweather would say so we should focus on pace pace pace down those flanks.

George Boyd would be an awesom buy, we still need another maestro to give us an extra dimension for opponents to worry about.

As for striker without a shadow of a doubt we need legs up front, we wnt dominate every game, but for counter attacks those wingers are gonna need somebody just as fast to get on the end of beak always. Would love Gradel back for that, but he is standing out in France and Liverpool are reported to be interested.

January will be very interesting times.

Yes Gibsy, i think Jan will be the real acid test of how serious our new owners are.

I think it's easier to state what position we would like new players for, we can dream all we like about certain players, I'd like Messi but that isn't going to happen!

Unless we're in a position to go for a marquee signing, which I doubt, it will have to be loans and loan extensions. We can't be signing Championship quality players on permanent deals because................................................................... we're going up.
