Smirking_Saint Posted 29 December, 2012 Share Posted 29 December, 2012 Priority IMO is that we don't follow fan advice and adopt the QPR mass signings approach. 1 or 2 quality additions would be great, not overhaul to what is a good squad. Don't want a 4th keeper, first mistake and idiots will want a 5th. Another attacking wide option would be great, as would a CB, but it depends what quality is available as the January window is the worst time to buy (unless you like a panic buy). With no additions I think we have a chance of staying up, but obviously it'd be nice to boost those odds. Still, plenty left to play for either way isn't there. Disagree unless Boruc is fit and now finds form, but only really Adkins will know if he is good enough right now as with a decent keeper in goal I think we will be ok. If its an inexperienced Gazza and a frankly useless Davis then we will be in trouble. Other than that agree, we dont wanna upset the balance of the squad but a CB to shake up what we have right now, and also a quality wide man to add competition that hopefully has different attributes to Punch and Lallana would be excellent.

kpturner Posted 29 December, 2012 Share Posted 29 December, 2012 There must be another Antti Niemi out there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 29 December, 2012 Share Posted 29 December, 2012 A keeper and a central defender are a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 A new backbone; 1) experienced keeper 2) Young, tough CB 3) established goal scorer ........and an extra winger if there anything left in the budget. I also expect a lot of the "also-rans" to depart....(if only on loan).. Barnard, Forte, Dickson, Butterfield, Chaplow and /or De Ridder. Bearing in mind we have; Seaborne, Martin, Hammond and Sharp already out (but possibly back-by now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 With our backup striker unavailable soon, we should recall Billy Sharp rather than sign another forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
