Was just having a little thought and was wondering if we need to do any transfer business come january. Do we need to strengthen in any areas, and do any need to be shipped out? The three obvious that come to mind to either be sold or loaned out, are Harry Clarke, Baggot, and as much as it pains me to say it, as I think hes a cracking player, is Humphreys. Not sure if we'd have any space left, but maybe another #9? Hirst is OK in patches, and Azon is not a 90 minute player (or 70 minutes in our case). How well would Burns come back into the squad? Would he be a starter if over his injury? Lots of questions, with not a lot of answers . Your thoughts?
Much will depend if we are seriously challenging at the top. If, as we all hope, we continue this good run, I am sure they will want to bring in re-enforcements. Agree with yr thoughts re Baggot et al. Doubt very much that Burns will be strong enough for regular starts. Mindful of our last Prem foray, I am sure they will try to beef up several areas and not leave it til last minute like last summer.
I think we're pretty well covered in most positions but there aren't many positions people have nailed down yet nor shown they would be capable in the Premier League. I'd say try to work with what we've got in the forward positions as they haven't clicked yet and we've got cover in all areas, don't add another player in the mix. For me the biggest priority is finding a partner for Matusiwa who is also defensively capable of replacing him too. Beyond that we're an injury away from looking very short at CB and we also don't have natural cover at left back
