saint michael Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 We have higher priorities than a DM. I agree we have other needs but I think that the lack of defensive cover by a good DM has a huge effect and is an important piece of the whole defence issue we have

saintwbu Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 It actually struck me against West Ham how we aren't as well off in CM as I thought we were. Hoj suspended leaves just Romeu and Lemina, and Lemina is struggling at the moment. If Wanyama was available I would absolutely love him back, he's perfect in a high press just an absolute battering ram. Between him, Rom and Hoj we might have an unsuspended pairing for every game of the season!

Schneiderlin though assumes Ralph could fire him up and motovate him, which clearly hasn't happened for him at Everton.
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2019 Posted 1 January, 2019 Think you will find that Josh Sims is back with us. Good because we need his pace. He barely got into one of the worst teams in the Championship. Sims isn’t the answer.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 2 January, 2019 Posted 2 January, 2019 I truly hope that the three we bring in are all of an attacking nature and taller than 5’ 8” in height. So my call would be ST and two ACM’s like Redmond but better....i.e. can get past defenders, pass accurately and can score goals.
The Fat Controller Posted 2 January, 2019 Posted 2 January, 2019 Realistic Possibilities for this window Boyata at Celtic out of contract in the summer Gary Cahill - short term CB solution Lookman at Everton - Already played for Ralph Schneiderlin - is he past his best, or would he want to come back? Danny Ings - make his signing permanent now and free up a loan space Obviously a few to go to balance the books Gabbiadini, Hoedt, Forster, Davis,and potentially Cedric?
