Well if the likes of Cairney - Fryatt and Mclean are either sold or stay out on loan in january then that free's up space and wonga for a few new players. Looks like SB is paving the way now.
I would like us to sign an Attacking Midfielder (Right, Centre) preferably natural in both positions, but natural AMR and accomplished AMC will do, but they need to have at least 4 star potential rating (has the potential to be a leading premier division midfielder) and 2 and a half star current ability (would be a good signing for most premier division teams).
Livermore bought, Zaha on loan, Rhodes/Cairney swap and Graham recalled and i'd be over the moon.
Never happening though.

I would like 1 decent pacey striker. and one CAM/winger player. With aluko out and elmo struggling I think we need a scoring midfielder

If Brucie fancies Rhodes who knows? The only issue would be getting Zaha as far as I can see. Obviously it'll be Cairney plus cash, but that might work out cheaper and more productive than buying Long perhaps!
That'd probably do it. Although if we also bid £4m+Cairney, I think we'd steal in. Assuming of course they haven't leap frogged us in the table by January 1st.
If not, see how much Bradford want for Nakhi Wells. He's managed 12 already this season (despite being out with injury for a fair while) and grabbed 26 in all competitions. McLean plus £1.5m?
Think Nahki Wells is a good player and will become even better, but it would be the wrong time in January to put our goalscoring hopes on a striker who hasn't played above league 1 football.
That being said, he impressed me in Bradford's cup run again premier league sides.
I wouldn't normally go for a League One player with the position we're in, but he's one of the most natural goal scorers I've seen in a long while.
We'd still need another striker though, we couldn't bank on Wells solving all our problems.
Got to speculate to accumulate Requixm, nothing to lose. Bruce's recruitment is too notch so I expect him to find the right player.
Then play him on the wing so Danny Graham can keep doing his Disney auditions in the middle.

I think a right winger would be far more beneficial personally. No matter who plays up front they can't score without service and they're only getting any from one side. If Elmo is to be preferred choice if forget signing anyone like wells and go for a big ****er like Crouch who will get his head on things as we could have RVP up top and he'd struggle to get 5 in a season with the service we have to offer.
Never going to happen. As for Wells from Bradford that is a good shout actually.
I would like to see Tom Cairney back in Jan. TC keeps getting the moms and Blackburn are desperate to keep him. But to land Rhodes then yes i would deal TC.
Ross McCormack - I endorse this, I think he'd be decent.
Shane Long
Foreign player in France
Jordan Rhodes
Bendtner
Nahki Wells (Maybe if we're looking at 2-3, but not a primary target)
Berbatov - He wants to leave, would prefer to stay in the PL
Danny Ings
Shane Long
Foreign player in France
Jordan Rhodes
Bendtner
Nahki Wells (Maybe if we're looking at 2-3, but not a primary target)
Berbatov - He wants to leave, would prefer to stay in the PL
Danny Ings
We need no strikers! this isn't the problem , we can't build a successful play to the opponent's 6 yard , we need a decent CAM , a player who can provide some service to our strikers , so they won't chase the ball trying to create some sort of threat out of nothing obviously , this isn't a striker's job!
I disagree. It's the strikers not making the runs for midfielders to pick out with a pass. We're getting strikers in goal scoring positions and they are missing. We have one of the best central midfielders for passing (Huddlestone) WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER MIDFIELDER. Where would they play? Will they displace Brady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Meyler (who was excellent on Sunday). So who would your Striker target be? We don't need anymore midfielders.
