SaintBobby Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 A few weeks back I was pretty worried about where we were at in terms of squad strength, am now more sanguine. Need some cover at centre-back, but that could possibly be done via loans. Am assuming that Fonte-Yoshida will be the preferred partnership for the remaining 18 matches, but we're pretty light if either pick up an injury or suspension. Seems to me we would have to spend big to get someone good enough to displace Jose or Maya in the starting eleven. Open minded on this, but it would mean disrupting what's developed into a very good CB pairing. Goalkeeper? Hmm. I think Adkins has ruled this out anyway. None of our current 3 first choice keepers fill me with confidence, but am not sure that someone like Butland makes us £6m better. I'd be tempted to right off Boruc, whose head seems to be in the wrong place, and bring in someone of similar age on a similar deal (mid-30s, experienced keeper until end of season). I can't really imagine us having the cash available to buy better players than we currently have in midfield or up front. But then I was of the view that the Ramirez stuff was fantasy, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 It'd be like being charged £12 for a days parking, but then finding the ticket had a 2 for 1 Dominios deal on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonroader07 Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 If we dont get some Premiership experience into the squad we are screwed, need a GK, CB and a Striker and Jack Cork to keep fit !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 4 January, 2013 Share Posted 4 January, 2013 I thought squad strengthening was supposed to be a nailed-on certainty in this window ? Very bemused this thread has been started.

Sounds like some of you are preparing yourselves for disappointment... If we do not strengthen in key areas it can only mean we have no money to do it. Either that, or we REALLY ARE GOING FOR THE YOYO STRATEGY. Remember it was the Dalek that called this first ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 IMO we should be looking at a CB, decent Midfielder and a striker. I think it's fairly obvious that we will...and I'd go with your suggestions (above) .....although I'd like a defensive-minded MF.....but iIm still uncertain about the goalie situation until I've seen Boruc in 3 or 4 games....

sotonian Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 I'm sure we will buy someone in the last couple of days of the window, why all clubs do this is beyond me, they should be lining potential targets in December, so we can get the full benifit of them in January, its like clubs forget there is a window, then realise in the last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Current squad good enough to secure 17th. Probably 15th. But with £1m + for every place in the league, strengthening the squad could almost pay for itself. And give the stringer players a chance to gel before the new season.
