The importance of January's window won't be lost on the owners/board.  i fully expect them to do absolutely the right thing to help us stay up.

Agreed Des. Dean Smith has to say certain things publicly. But even a blind man can see Wesley so far hasn’t worked out so far. Maybe he’ll come good in time but right now we simply cannot continue to gamble on him. Kodjia is clearly just an emergency back up and no more. We simply must add a couple of quality players in January. The consequences of not doing so will pale into insignificance vs the cost of relegation.

Interesting / depressing story in the Athletic that Delle Alli was at Bodymoor Heath with his family on the last day of the January 2015 transfer window, all ready to sign for Villa. They were unimpressed that Paul Lambert wasn’t there in person so when Spurs came in at the last minute, he changed his mind.

What a shambles we were then.

I am told from someone within MK Dons that we offered more money than Spurs too.

Seems Dean not offering Kodj a new contract at end of season and would prefer to sell him in Jan, suggesting he’s keen to get a striker in

Smith can only be diplomatic in that situation I suppose.  It must be that because anyone can see we aren't improving as a team and many aren't improving individually.  We've actually got worse recently and it wouldn't take a great deal to find "better than we have" for someone like Trezeguet for example, and, some would argue, Wesley, Targett and Taylor, maybe even AEG who too often goes missing.

we have to  improve our chances of survival, especially up front, so one or two players must come in. I don't mind if they are loans, with or without an option to buy. We have to do everything we can to stay up.

I’d be looking at Shaqiri from Liverpool add more creativity and goals from out wide. Hardly played this season and now Liverpool are about to sign the player from Salzburg who plays all across the front he’s less likely to get a game.

I'm not sure he offers much up top with those small and humble breasts.

I wouldn't mind Shaqiri but ideally just on loan. He ended up being pretty unpopular for not always pulling his weight at Stoke. I think we have enough goals in the side already regarding the midfield and wingers. What we need in the window is a real goalscorer, ideally two. Even if we have to use the loan market.

Emre Can can't get into his team.  Wouldn't be a bad signing.

Think if we're going to go for a wide player then we would probably need a bit of pace out there and someone who is going to work up and down the line if we are to continue with the same formation.

He has a lot of weight to pull in fairness, all bum and breasticles.
