Gregg Evans from the Mail reckons we have something in the pipeline.

I hope it's a marquee signing.

I can only assume Benteke is coming back....

Milner, Barry or Delph it's defo got to be one of them

We don't need a striker, it sounds like Gabbys back.

The striker situation is a bit of an odd one for me now, even 3 weeks ago I wanted us to get in a target man as essentially we were playing hoof ball every week, since Jack has got back into the team we seem to have started getting it down and playing properly so the need for a target man is very much for half hour if we are chasing a game so Davis should be able to carry that burden for rest of season?

I was definitely wanting Ulloa initially but now think a Nakhi Wells type as a back up to Hogan would be better.

That said, I'd love to see Benteke back on loan with an agreement to sign if we get promoted.

I'd like to see us bring another forward in. On the other hand though, they might be sitting there thinking 'we've got 4 strikers on our books'. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

To be fair I'm surprised how mediocre (at best) he's been for Palace but I think he'd still do well here somehow, especially the rest of this season. I very much doubt he'd drop down even for 3-4 months but you can hope.

I've just read Hernandez is back fit at Hull, his contract is up in the summer too.
He'd do.

I wonder if we're looking at Hernandez at West Ham?

Maybe levels of loan for Glenn Murray/Shane Long. Both Brighton and Southampton have brought strikers in so loan out makes sense. Danny Sturridge or Benteke  would be the wow move but more expecting the hard working solid Premier league player signings to aid promotion push

We were talking to Van Persie earlier in the window, maybe that's being revisited. Can't say I'd object!

Glenn Murray might soon be getting a move to the Winson Green area of Birmingham if the papers are to be believed.
