I wouldn't mind us bringing in Cleverley at the right price.

A handful of loose change and couple of porn mags should do it.

I think even if Delph were to stay, Sanchez would eventually be seen as the main man. I wouldn't bother with Cleverley even with a free transfer, at least not on what I've seen since September.

I like Lowton and would prefer him to stay as cover. Then again I like Chris Herd.

I wonder how much we really paid for Lowton - sub-1m?

Yeah, I like Lowton too.. but we've got to generate funds somehow. Barring Benteke and Okore however Lambert and Co want to create some cash is fine by me. This might sound strange but I would offer Westwood around, I really don't think he's going to improve much more. I like him but I don't see how we can incorporate him over or next to Sanchez. If Lowton is worth two million then Westwood has to be a few more. No doubt Ashley can help a midfield beat, we just need an AM and Carlos is a baller.

Herd though?  :o

That's what Lambert and Lowton's brother have suggested.

Westwood and Sanchez could work as the sitting midfielders, in a 4231, in my opinion.
However we'd need the three in front of that to really buzz about and have pace. 

That said, if we could get say 6m for him, then there would be sense in cashing in and starting the process again, just with a slightly bigger "transfer chest".  After all that is kinda the objective of most sensible clubs, buy > develop > sell for a profit; and repeat.

That Gill fella looks, again, just like the sort we should be looking for, skillful, can pick a pass and link the front and midfield together, so rule out any chance.

If we got him and Sinclair at least there are a couple more options going forward!

Yeah it's time now Gabby and Weimann were properly phased out of the starting 11 bar the odd away games like Arsenal so even though I'm not keen on Sinclair him and another would make this far more likely than at present.

Nursery reckons there'll be at least two in, Sinclair and an attacking centre mid.

So on that basis, bugger - we won't be signing any one this window.

Lowton linked to Swansea for £2m. Seems like a fair price.

I agree. Are we paying it up front or are they allowing us to pay in instalments?
