If we rush right in and sign someone at the start of a window, it looks like the player got what he asked for. Negotiating until the end of a window puts pressure on the player to possibly accept a lower fee. Our fixtures have actually helped us with this strategy by having Stoke and Hull, two winnable matches in close proximity. If we have our eye on a couple of prospects for the end of the window, they will be ready for the Arsenal game. In the mean time, we have the Wigan game, to run out some prospects or players recovering from injury. I think Hull got mugged into buying a couple of players at the start of the window. Didn't have much impact against Norwich at the weekend. I'm quietly confident that we still have enough time left in this season to move up the table into relative security, mess it all up again, and have a final day battle.

If one of those doesn't, my money's on West Ham to replace them as sometimes a team simply falls apart to a degree that it gains its own downward momentum.

Joeberto Streatham Hill 20 Jan 14 11.03am
A couple of signings would be positive. Apologies if this all sounds a bit familiar: One up front to help us threaten and convert a few more of the chances we have been making. The Danish lad Makienok being mentioned might fit the bill? Unless Murray's return is imminent, and perhaps even if it is, we need more to throw at it in attack. One at the back to compete with DD & Gabbidon, and ultimately take over from the latter who is doing a sterling job but is 34 years old. Better to get someone in to start integrating and give another option now, rather than leave it to the summer. Not Dann though, due to the stupid money involved, so the question is can they find the right man? I think one or both of those would not only improve the squad and options, but give a signal of intent and boost to the current players.
