David Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 In just under 6 weeks the transfer window reopens, as things stand and assuming no players that have been involved this season leave the club. Would you like to see Lampard strengthen the squad in January, or would you be happy with no incomings and to use the U23s if necessary?

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Attacking full back and a pacey left winger. Regarding the former, someone mentioned Ryan Fredericks and I reckon that would be a top shout if West Ham don't rate him and if we can afford the wages.

Parsnip Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I've lost track of who's injured! I just clicked LB but I'd actually be perfectly happy with Malone & Lowe. Cheeky bid for Nick Powell might be a good move.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Definitely a right back. Bogle has done well in patches but he's still raw. If Lamps doesn't want Wisdom we need another body there.

Parsnip Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I always think we should strengthen in January. You have to assume that everyone else will. Frank must've earned a bit of confidence now so hopefully Mel can back him.

therealhantsram Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 RB is the only position. Where I think we could bring in a lone to replace one of our own. Ryan Frederick's would be awesome if available.

Dimmu Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 RB is a must, the rest is depending on how many and what position we can shift out of the deadwood/contract ends.

Archied Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 If we really going to push then a rb,lb,and defensive mid are where we push the boat out for me Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/31048-does-lampard-need-to-strengthen-the-squad-in-january/#findComment-1572996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 RB definitely and arguably another centre mid too for me. Fredericks and foden would be my top choices. Also need to consider what to do with the left back situation, I’d be tempted to get someone with experience in on a short term deal rather than recalling Lowe to act as cover. Might need another winger too depending on whether Wilson moves permanently inside, Hudson Odoi would be a good shout there I feel.

FindernRam Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Interesting how divided our collective views are. This means our democratic decision is to replace the whole team, or, as there is no clear majority replace none!

Would you like to see Lampard strengthen the squad in January, or would you be happy with no incomings and to use the U23s if necessary? I want to know who is going to be in place for next season mostly - If all the out of contract players (and loanees) leave we're very short in CM and probably need an extra winger - I like that in the summer Lampard seems to have bought in players with a longer term view than just this season and I hope he continues to do that in January GK - Will leave it to Given to decide if current backup is good enough - Carson is aces RB - Two decent options already LB - Malone and Lowe are decent CB - Might need to think about bringing in a young CB? DM - Assume Huddlestone stays plus Evans (and backup from the u23s) CM - Next seasons problem position - Holmes - Even if Bryson and Johnson get new contracts I would imagine we need new blood in here LW/RW - Lawrence, FloJo, Bennett, Waghorn - Assume Thomas for next year - Maybe consider an addition? ST - Marriott - Plus Waghorn can play there and maybe Bennett?

KCG Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 RB, LB and CB would see us automatically promoted. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/31048-does-lampard-need-to-strengthen-the-squad-in-january/#findComment-1573086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Shouldn't you always strengthen? Every team has a weakest area. I don't think any position is desperate but the full backs lack depth. Bogle himself has been stumbling a bit lately and Malone is good going forward but I think a bit weaker defensively than Olsson. Central midfield. The attacking positions we are currently slotting a winger in there. It works but if the right CM was out there for a good price then wouldn't you look to add him to the squad? Wouldn't say we "need" anything but if the right player is out there then we shouldn't ignore him.
