    Could do with a new first choice RB to be competing with Cedric for No.1. Maybe an older more experienced RB that has a few years left in him while Cedric develops. Depending on how things go this season and how Romeu/Clasie do over the season, I'd still be looking for someone of the ilk of Schneiderlin (appreciate that's not easy). Also a CAM. A winger and another Striker. I don't want much then. Let Caulker go and keep Stek on as second choice. Looking at January alone, ideally just a RB and Winger and/or Striker. In the summer, assuming we are going to lose Wanyama and Mane. We are going to need to spend a fair amount of money if we want to keep progressing. We know other middling clubs are willing to spend now with all the tv money coming in, and we can't get left behind by not adjusting our plans to the change in financial income.

    If he's 31, he'd sort of be disposable.

    I'm worried none of his shots would go in or his crosses wouldn't reach their target. I can just see everything being a close shave.

    This thread is bristling with inconsistencies.

    I was actually thinking about this earlier, hypothetically, if we were to continue our poor run until after the Palace FA Cup game (say picking up something like 3 points and losing in the cup), would it be disastrous to sell Mane in Jan? Seems that we will most likely be losing him in the summer, and prices are always inflated in Jan, we could get another 5m for him, or potentially even more

    I think we need Mane more than we need money.

    Perhaps Fonte should sort out his own form first?!
