Sat Atwal Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I would look to move on ollson and anya..... loan out zanzala and Hanson, move on butterfield and Blackman whenever the opportunity allows us to. Then really look to add a bit of quality attack g wise, Kent on loan would be ideal or someone of that ilk, alongside a good number 10 with pace, as I think we will really struggle if vyds got injured. I'd keep shackell and bent until their contracts expire in the summer. However the biggest bit of business I would do is give King George a new contract. People class him as I just prone, however, he hasn' got dodgy hamstrings or glass ankles, he has just been unfortunate tohave had 3 major injuries.

Posh Ram Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yoann Barbet? He's been pretty good for Brentford and we need a left-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If we can get rid of a few first, I wonder about going in for Nick Powell at Wigan. Seemed too much too soon for him when he had his big money move to Man Utd as a youngster. but he's still only 23. Scored 11 goals from midfield already this season, to take Wigan to the top of League One. Used to have a poor reputation but seems to have knuckled down.

I'm guessing that it's summat t' do with circuses taking place in marquees. Marquee signings being regarded as flashy, eye-catching or extravagant. Or, obviously, I could be spouting complete nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquee is an adjective used mainly in North American English to describe a "superlative" thing. It's not often used over here - we're more familiar with the noun marquee which is simply a tent. Apparently the American term derives from the French 17th "marquise" meaning a pre eminent, superior person. Ooh, get me the Giles Brandreth of the forum!

Callum Guy, Max Bird? Both players would do more than a job. I would much prefer to watch Callum Guy in central midfield than Bradley Johnson.

I can't really comment on Guy as I don't think I have seen him play.....is he or Bird good enough to do a job for a top 2 Championship side under a lot of pressure??

Ryan O'Meara Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Kasey Palmer has cancelled his loan at Huddersfield because he's not getting enough game time. He was excellent last season, would definitely be a realistic loan target and good competition for Vydra and out wide (in my opinion at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover for if Vydra got injured but would still get game time playing anywhere along the three behind the striker. Clearly a top championship player already, don't think we could probably hope for any better signing than him this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 For me, we still need a wide attacking player in a similar vein and quality to Lawrence on the other flank. Weimann and Russell are both capable of having a blinder on their day and the former has for the most part been impressive this season, but they don't frighten the opposition in the way that a more direct and creative Lawrence 'type' would. Personally I'd also be looking at left back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd also be looking at left back... I think an extra skilled wide player would be a bit of a luxury - we have Lawrence, Weimann, Russell and Johnson already, and quality wingers can be very expensive at this level. A 6-month loan deal would be more sensible imo, would rather spend money on CM and LB where players tend to be a bit cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
