Posted August 31, 20168 yr The more I think about it, the more I think the answer is no. If anything I'd rather see more leave freeing up room to add in January having had six months to really assess this squad. Not forgetting that we've not been a million miles off over the past three seasons. We've added Vydra & Wilson. There's goals there. We've Weimann coming back soon, there's some more pace. We've got Camara getting game time, more pace for breaks. Keep Martin. He might not be the main man now but all of this out talk might have stirred something inside - let him prove a point. Pearson know's what he wants, but has so far had to give a lot of players a run out to see if they'll fit into his formation. If nobody comes in then that might suggest that he's happy. So we should trust him and be happy too. We are too top heavy, so get a few out on loan. The transfer window is all about excitement and a lot of people are getting hung up on us not signing anyone. But just think, the more players we have the less chance there is of ever picking a settled team.
August 31, 20168 yr I'd like to see a few move out, fringe players. With no loan window not sure if that will happen.
August 31, 20168 yr Think we only really need a holding midfielder as our midfield is way too lightweight without Thorne.
August 31, 20168 yr If Nigel is going to stick with 442 and its variants, I'd like to see some wide midfielders come in rather than using our attacking wingers there, but I suspect he'll keep trying to force the square pegs into the round holes. And a holding midfielder to back up/replacement for Thorne. Hughes does okay in that area, but his abilities are a bit wasted there in my opinion.
August 31, 20168 yr Desperately need a holding midfielder. I would add two full backs to that. Christie is bang average with no competition, and with Forsyth injured, we only have Olsson, who sits in the Christie camp for me.
August 31, 20168 yr No, what we need now is for the manager to start earning all that money we're paying him and get the best out of the squad at his disposal. I would've liked to have seen a DM, Winger and RB come in, but omething tells me we're going to wait until the loan window opens again or go rummaging for some free agents.
August 31, 20168 yr Ideally another right back,defensive midfielder,winger and another forward to play alongside vydra.
August 31, 20168 yr I think we have a few genuine requirements - leftback, holding mid, winger. No need to go berserk like last year, but equally, I don't really want to see us go to the other extreme and bring no one in. I think the combination of bad luck, low confidence and questionable tactics have cost us so far, but as per above, we DO have some genuine need too.

August 31, 20168 yr We need Newstace regardless. If we're going to start using the players properly then that's all we should need until January. If we're to setup how Pearson wants us to then we're a fair few short.
