I have kind of been assuming that given the club’s financial struggles, no one is likely to come through the door in January. However, Hodgson sounds quite upbeat, and maybe there’s a chance of a couple of good players coming onboard? "If we do anything this January, it'll be better and more thought out than last year." One man who could be leaving Palace is midfielder Jordon Mutch, who has been linked with a return to Cardiff." Well that is 2 positives from the article.

We still have 1 loan space available if i'm not mistaken. Two if we can ship Ayew back to Swansea. If we can also get rid of players like Mutch, Souare and Riedewald then it would help the wages situation as well.

Assuming we can pay off the rest of Ayew's loan and tell him to f*** off back to Swansea: 1. Dominic Solanke (loan) (Liverpool) 3 signings for barely any money that will give us an exciting, young, pacey forward option up front in Solanke, along with a fantastic young pacey winger who's knocking on the door of Chelsea's first team to compete with Townsend/Zaha (Hudson-Odoi). Added to those a player we all know very well in Moses who can again give us more attacking options out wide as well and providing cover elsewhere on the pitch. Wildcard option 4. Anwar El Ghazi. He's over 6ft tall, central attacking midfielder who can also play as a winger. He's incredibly skillful, great dribbler with a cracking shot on him. I've watched a few of Villa's games this season and he's actually played better than Grealish in some of them. I reckon we could get him for less than £10m and he's only 22/23.

And I don;t want to be a prick, but your 3 option are: 1 Solanke- too young and unproven.

In an interview last week, Roy said he’ll be meeting with the scouting team as early as the end of November to discuss this matter. We all know the budget will be small so shrewd transfers are likely. I can’t see us bringing in many players if I’m honest, probably a maximum of 3, and am therefore wondering what people’s realistic thoughts, ideas and preferences are... -I can see us attempting to bring in RLC but think Chelsea will resist. The most we can hope for is a loan until the end of the season. -There might be an attempt to move for a player of Michail Antonio’s style- pacey, powerful forward rather than an outright Striker per se - A free or cheap mobile style striker of Jermaine Defoe’s mold as an alternative to the lumps we currently have. I get the impression Roy will be stubborn over the matter and defiant knowing our limitations. He’ll revert back to type in that there will be regular reminders that we have Scott Dann, Connor Wickham and Christian Benteke all returning. Then parish will come out and say what gets said all the time ITS LIKE HAVING 3 new players bulls***

I’d like to see us go in for Niasse again. A goal per four games in the prem is not too shabby and I think he’d fit in with our quick counter attacking style nicely. Not that we do much quick counter attacking nowadays, but I think that is supposed to be the plan. So, buy Niasse for, say £10m. Bin off Mutch to Cardiff, Riedewald and Sorloth to Turkey and you’ve had a profitable window. That probably won’t happen, but what definitely will happen is you’ll get piss on your shoes and a long queue for a beer in the Arthur. You heard it here first.
Vive le Roy! |

I don't want to be a prick, but you're a fine one to talk with the absolute shower of s***e you usually recommend. You've got a post on this board recommending players from the second tier of German football ffs. Solanke is highly rated by Jurgen Klopp, one of the best managers in the world. He is being groomed to fight for his place in one of the most attacking teams in the world. And you don't think he'd be worth a punt over Alex Sorloth or Jordan Ayew? Hudson-Odoi has played for Chelsea a couple of times this season and looked dangerous, scored on his Europa League debut and would give us a different option on the wings. Obviously if we had money to spend perhaps we could find some better options but the fact is, we don't and these are realistic targets that would cost barely nothing.

I hear that Cardiff are interested in his services.
