Joel Campbell from Arsenal would be a decent loan.

Yeah he a good player but I feel like we'd just be prepping him for them.

He hasn't got much of a look in for them and the likes of Sanogo seem to be ahead of him. Walcott and Giroud have been out for most of the season so far too so Campbell will probably be well down the queue then. Think Arsenal will sell him for a decent offer to be honest, likewise with Podolski who is lazy but still a fine finisher.

Campbell is the kind of hard working player capable of playing across the front three. Would be a decent upgrade on Nzogbia and Weimann. His goal scoring record isn't particularly hectic in his recent loan spells.
Ings is the one we should be going all out to sign in Jan

I must have eaten something funny, but I am quite optimistic that we will do some business in the January window.

If we sign anyone at Xmas it must be a creative or wide midfielder

Ings will be a free in the summer. Assuming bEnteke leaves he'd defibitely be my first choice but unless we're a club on the up I think he'll go to a better side than us

Put it in another thread, but I think Townsend from Spurs would be a decent option.

I agree and I think Aaron Lennon would be another. He's not done it for a while (if he had he would either be unavailable or damn expensive) but at his best, he would be a great signing.

Barry, Gazza, Charlie Adam, Jan Molby are all wide midfielders. Though Gazza looks like he is struggling for match fitness

All Townsend does is shoot from distance. He's basically Tonev.

He's not even close to Tonev who has been a complete failure. Townsend isn't the world beater some tried to make us believe but he's a lot better than Tonev.

Redmond from Norwich would be a good deal ... But Lambert and wingers is not a realistic combination.

What we really need is someone who play the Gabby/Weimann roles, but is actually a natural at it and a regular threat.

Someone mentioned Joel Campbell the other day. That wouldn't be a bad move it it was possible.

The complications with Kozak might mean that we'll be looking for a striker now.
