The Night-Owl Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) It was a different time and we had a completely different set of constraints. Probably didn't go as well as we might have hoped. Aye but we didn't use that money wisely. With the benefit of hindsight of course. It's not a dig or anything, just wish we had gotten more for him, kept him a bit longer or replaced him with someone similar. He was undoubtedly our best player at the time. Us and Forest both relied upon him too much. There's no doubting though that we're a much better all round team now. Just think we could do with some pace going forwards. Whether out wide or upfront. I'd consider looking for someone similar or considering a pacy striker. Edited January 2, 2016 by MilansMissingMarbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_orme Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I can't believe Man Utd have recalled Will Keane to help solve their goalscoring issues but leave James Wilson on loan! LVG must really not like the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no wide, fast players when he left, and failed to get any in until DC took over. That did take a toll on our performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVG must really not like the kid. That is a baffling one. LVG's made some strange decisions, regarding the loaning out of certain attackers. Hernandez and Januzai in particular were strange decisions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no wide, fast players when he left, and failed to get any in until DC took over. That did take a toll on our performances. Aye, agree. Forestieri's signing as been a masterstroke. And Wallace at times is tidy and productive. I still feel, a player like Antonio either upfront or out wide with their pace, might give us something extra and more of a threat going forward. If we can't find a winger like him, then we could consider another number 10 type or a striker. I'd love for us to go for Nick Blackman but that's unlikely, but think we could go for someone like Zach Clough considering Bolton's transfer embargo or try and get a striker on loan like Dwight Gayle? Their pace could add something extra. Edited January 2, 2016 by MilansMissingMarbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hernandez and Januzai in particular were strange decisions too. Hernandez especially, I'm sure that wasn't a loan though? He's got a ridiculous goal scoring record this season, nearly a goal a game. Could never understand why he didn't get more games after his first season at Man U when he scored 20, spent a lot of the next season coming off the bench I think. Linked to Arsenal at the minute I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he ends up coming back to the PL and does really well with someone like Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 All that said about Antonio and a striker. Our most key signing during the window or priority could be a tidy midfield enforcer? Bridcutt is the one I'd like or would've liked before he went to Leeds. Anyone else, worth considering for the midfield enforcer role or is there someone like that possibly available at one of the lower half teams or transfer embargoed teams at this level, who could do a job?

Southie_Owl Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not sure he's up to the level we'd require for a promotion push, but I've always really liked the look of Clarke-Harris from Toytown. Really strong lad who does the back to goal stuff well. Also has a rocket of a left foot shot and does score goals despite not starting regularly I can't wait to read the reactions in the ticket threads when we sign a Rotherham bench player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I can see McGugan going to either Huddersfield or Birmingham on loan Jabba at L**ds wants him but I can't see us flogging him to them I wouldnt give that fat reptile the steam off my turd.

fudge27 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) With Matias (hopefully) coming back into the fold after his hernia op, the only place we will need strengthening is at RB for me (if we keep hold of Hooper). Reckon Sam Byram could be talked into ditching the scummers by Lees, he's only got 6 months on his deal, so would be cheap as well. Either that or someone like Grant Hanley at Blackburn. Hahahahhahaha wow Edited January 2, 2016 by fudge27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
