January transfers and squad discussion

[pjm2019]

I honestly can't see us signing anybody.

I wouldn't sell any of the players currently in our squad either.

so you want to keep players such as Harrison and Our great french goalkeeper along with any players we have out on loan that we are able to cancel the loan arrangement

[SG90]

Well we have the two loan spots available, so there really are no excuses. And there's also European loans as well. Let's not wait until deadline day again.

Buonanotte will likely be recalled, but I think that ship has sailed after his behaviour.

Unfortunately Harvey Elliott played one minute for Liverpool this season, and Villa are refusing to play him, otherwise that would've been a good loan.

[SG90]

BBC Gossip section via Football Insider say Everton are looking at Bogle, but if anything, that would be more of a summer target.

Not sure what their PSR situation is, but I imagine both West Ham and Forest will spend big in January.

Almost certainly

Isn’t it said somewhere that new players need at least 10 games to integrate?
Well on recent evidence that statement is supported, which sets the question - do we really need so called ‘magicians’ to come in, in January?

A new player of the ‘wrong type’ could detrimentally affect the mindset and balance of the group, which is something DF publicly fears.
Or do we get the right man/men to plan for a stronger final-phase run in?

I think we are past the panicking-patty approach of buying someone - anyone - anymore. Thank goodness.

You can add with one eye on the future..... indeed it's necessary. If we can get a Geo type in Jan, he can be ready to go for next season while contributing this.

Man City want Harry Gray, that can't be allowed to happen. Bad enough we lost Archie.

To add rumour it's said Kalvin would be used as a sweetener in any deal

Do Forest worry about PSR - they have previous in this regard

I assume the Kalvin sweetener is they will keep him rather than send him back to us.

That would be a good signing. Does a lot of work, there's an end product and is quick. He plays the narrower winger well too, decent defensively too.

[1964white]

We need a big physical No.9 in the Calvert-Lewin mould as cover for DCL should he pick up an injury.

Last night was clearly evident when DCL was treated for his head injury, had he not recovered, there is no way we win that game so convincingly.

You can't have enough goal presence on the bench.

I'll bang the Evan Ferguson on loan drum again

Based on the number of late goals we concede, it’s apparent we don’t a midfield presence on the bench either

Would Ferguson come as a back up/bench player.?.. He'd start somewhere surely

[Barlow Boy]

I suspect the experience of walking off, at Elland Road to be subbed, with the majority of his own fans singing ‘you fat ba***rd’ may put him off somewhat.

Some people are just so touchy. No sense of humour.

It's click bait but it's what this thread is for... Good player McKennie but he ain't coming here unless hell freezes over
