The Transfer window opens tomorrow, where's the HOL's perennial 'ITK' like dazza etc?
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I think there will be more activity than people expect in and out

Kelly is not contributing so he may go if we get a younger centre back. Ditto riedewald and luka. 2 midfielders in and they could be gone. And a striker for mateta. Short term cover at left back also. It could be busy enough with a small net spend

Also, Ferguson has played LB as well as CB, but, would prefer him as cover for Wardy atm.

Operating from a position of strength for once! Arguments can be made for a CDM, a left back, CB cover and a forward but really the squad looks fine even if AFCON plus COVID could see us very short. If anything does happen it will in all likelihood be someone we have been monitoring long term and who looks value. That feels good. It wouldn't wholly surprise if we saw a couple of the young'uns go out on loan. The U23s look safe in the table and there are a few there that might benefit from some hurly burly down a league or so.

As others have said, good to be in a position where there's no urgent need for signings. Anyone coming in will be a bonus to an already good season but always good to plan ahead for areas that need cover in the future. A long term replacement for Ward will need to be on the radar, as well as more depth at LB. It feels like the attacking department is well covered especially if Mateta can kick on from his Norwich display, although cover for Zaha would also be nice.

Agreed, Ferguson 8s excellent cover all across the back line as he can play either fullback role as well as Centre back.

I'm expecting a very quiet window. Unless a bargain buy is presented to us, I think the rebuild will continue in the summer. January is usually for those clubs that have a pressing need in one or more positions and I don't think we are in that category right now.

I really doubt there will be any activity this window. Only possible activity I can see will be if we do agree a deal to release Mateta early from his loan deal and sign a replacement whose contract is close to ending. Eddie Nketiah is a name that keeps coming up. I think as others have said some cover at LB would be nice assuming Ferguson is on the road to recovery. I'd be happy if we got a young squad player from the lower leagues as cover.

We have a decent squad that would be hard to improve unless we are talking about spending big bucks . Probably best to save any funds till the summer when PV can begin phase 2 of the squad refurbishment
