    Permanent Club for Jozy, loan for Graham(best we're going to get) Loan/perm move, for Cabral.

    Buy Virgil van Dijk
    Buy Joel Campbell
    Loan Lukas Podolski

    Three in three out.

    Dont think wenger will sell campbell, saying that he's got wellbeck, he is going to made available for loan according to todays papers mind

    In fact it doesnt actually state loan, that he will be allowed to leave

    Campbell is looking to leave himself mate. He wants out.

    Campbell and Podolski have played less than 90 minutes in the league together combined. They're both there for the taking imo.

    I think we need to move players on before we can spend some cash. if we don't then loan signings it will be.

    We need LB, class midfield & a type of forward like Borini. I would take campbell or Gnabry from Arsenal.

    Cat man, we got no chance in podolski. you been smoking pot again <laugh>

    Because he'll be happy with the 50 minutes played in 10 games won't he?<doh> He's 29 and not playing. Of course he'll be open to a January loan move if it gets him games till the summer.

    a LB and Striker are needed. Possibly 2 strikers if Wickham doesnt sign a new contract.

    I dont see a need for a midfielder, as long as Alvarez and Giac come back from injury. We have Rodwell, Catts, AJ, Giacc, Alvarez, Larsson, Buckley, Bridcutt, Maviras and Gomez (10 players). Not to mention Watmore and Honeyman who could be used in a pinch imo.

    Get rid of Graham, Jozy out on loan.

    I disagree with the midfield because in my eyes we don't creat enough. I said this in pre-season with Giacc in the team to.

    Two of our creative players are injured though, unlucky. They'll both be back before January, what would be the point of bringing in another when there are other areas that need addressing? We need a creative player now not in January but there's nowt we can do about it.

    I'm talking about we don't creat enough from center mid pal. I just can't see Gus playing Giacc or Alvarez in there. we should address our Lb problem first tho.

    If I'm being honest we don't creat much as a team. it could be missing Giacc & Alvarez, it could be our players not good enough or it could be Gus formation. **** knows at the minute.

    I wouldn't hesitate to play either in the middle. Larsson just doesn't do enough with the ball and he does it slowly. Catt's taking care of protecting the defence, Rodwell going box to box providing defensive and offensive support. Larsson's spot should be going to Alvarez imo with Giacc inside left. With a fully squad I'd like to see us line up like this.

    Pants

    Vergini-----Brown
    Jones--------------------------------Aanholt
    Catts
    Alvarez------Rodwell
    Johnson---------------Giacc
    Fletcher​

    It's a good looking team which is why when we do bring players in it should be quality which improves us, non of this Yaya Sanogo bollocks that's going around. Pace is an option desperately needed.

    certainly wouldn't want Fabio just because of the previous debacle -need a proven goalscorer Defoe would suit I reckon

    Why not, on paper it's got to be our best team hasn't it? It's balanced, his own system and provides a bit of everything except pace. We'll never have all of them fit together of course, which is why we need our January signings to improve us, otherwise we might as well spend nowt and continue with the squad players we've got. It's not the window to bring in squad players imo, except for LB(where we need cover) every other signing needs to be top draw.

    I just don't think Gus would pick the team you said pal. he loves Larsson & Buckteeth to much.

    2 centre backs (one of them capable of playing LB comfortably)
    1 striker (2 if we sell Wickham)
    Get rid of Graham and Altidore
