Id say : x2 strikers x1 wide player x1 full back (maybe even 2) I'd say about 11 and 5 subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see some of that organisation in some matches, but he hasn’t got any better out of this crop so far, and has largely been talking about new players in January without yet earning the right to be given the safe keys. It’s a massive leap of faith for DC because the players TP brings in will come in in 2 to 3 year contracts. Loans I’m less concerned about.

Yorkowl.74 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Not sure if any decent player will want a stint at ours at the moment tbh but the reality is we need loads not just one or two which I’m sure it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Goalkeeper Right back Left back Centre midfielder Right midfelder Striker X2 We need a reliable GK. Honestly we had Lee Camp training with us, I’d take him in a heartbeat. Odubajo and Palmer not good enough in my opinion. I’d take Ryan Shotton on a free. Pulis is a big fan, can play anywhere across the back four. Left back Shotton could do a job here but I think we need a proper left back at the club. Central midfielder. Someone like Mo Besic from Everton. Pulis had him at Boro. Box to Box and big and horrible to play against. He’d be perfect for us. Winger Yannick Bolasie? Again another player Pulis had at Palace. Would offer creativity and pace. And then two strikers. A big man and someone who can link play. Edited December 14, 2020 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just four players, and we never covered any of them i can maybe understand not replacing Fox at the time having gone to 3 at the back under Monk. Obviously causes a problem if you revert in future as we have. Not replacing Fletcher was criminal. Kept saying we should have gone for Chris Martin. You need someone like that in your squad and he was free. Not replacing Murphy, again...criminal. Best wide player last season by a distance. How do you not replace your two top scorers?! Such key players for us. Had no problem with Hutch leaving, but again, had to replace. We saw the effect it had pre-lockdown when Hutch was outcast and Luongo was injured. The club thinking Pelupessy was adequate cover still angers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEdwards Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 We need 11, we will probably get 2. Chansiri needs to realise the choice in this window is FFP and league 1, or break the bank and just about survive in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Think bolasie and besic would be too of pulis list ? It’s the striker we need that’s going to be the problem? Big mobile woeful cf that can bring others into play whilst also scoring a few ? That’ll not be a problem as for a lb sure jazz Richards still a free surely better than the left back we have..? Oh not got one forget about that? Someone posted about shotton ? Sure he gone to Aussie league ? Our in balanced squad sure does take some beating as a clusterfook of an attempt to strengthen the side? Paul Daniels would struggle to get a trick out of this lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Realistically I can't see any permanent signings. Pulis has a major rebuild on his hands regardless of which division we end up in so I would go for best quality loan signings we can to try and stay up this season then take it from there. For next season again regardless of division we need to be looking to get some promising younger talent on board (as well as developing our own) with a view to selling them on for a handsome profit a couple of years down the line a la Brentford. Whether or not TP has the contacts to do this I genuinely don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
