Lansbury and Hourihane's contracts are up at the end of the season. We should be going all out for the pair of them this month. Wouldn't cost the earth either. 3 in the centre with stability, balance and creativity
         Jedinak
Lansbury. Hourihane

Could not agree more. 2 more obvious transfers that we desperately need could not be found. Lansbury also has that edge of twattiness that we could do with more of, and Hourihane actually creates and scores goals.

We need at least 2 in midfield and a pacey wide forward in the next 10 days. In goal Gollini should be stuck with. If we actually scored goals he would be under a lot less pressure.

Agree. For matches at home we can have an extra man. Could switch the 3 to a 2, drop jack or Ross into the 10. Versatility in the centre for not much outlay.

7 away goals so far this season? Terrible midfield. If the aim is still promotion this season then these issues simply have to be addressed this month.

I've just heard something convincing and pretty much mind blowing.

Lansbury can play centre mid or in the number 10 role so there would be the flexibility to change mid-game. Another club captain to add some leadership and Championship experience too. They can't be fucking about.

Might we try and persuade Steven Gerrard to have one last swansong and try to get us promoted before he starts his coaching career, or would he already be at Newcastle if that appealed to him?

This ticks all the boxes to be the potential deal claretreal was alluding to a few pages back?

Outside of some very tasty free kicks what could he offer us though?

A bit worrying if even on reduced wages we're still paying Rudy a wage that Boro baulk at.

Clare, don't mind the frosty reception. Even if it's all guff, it makes more entertaining reading than us all repeating what we need and what the gossip columns are saying.

As stated already a concern that we have Ruddy talking to Villaboro, when we are about to lose forwards to the African cup, also Ayew kept back but not used, under rumour of a possible sale, so a sign that money needs to come in before a spend, maybe not Dr. Tony but the Wynass and Round influence taking hold, I know we have supposed to have turned down a offer for Amavi, but still a concern until the accounts come out.
Also agree with Northern soul as to Claretreal and his cluedo game, Obi in the dining room with Westwoods influencing a football game album from 1945.
