Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[mr underhill]

let's be brutally honest - we  are a very ordinary side.

[brian green]

No Mr U, much of the time we are a very poor side.

[Jockey Randall]

We need a whole new defence. The one player we have who is good enough with the ball at his feet isn't even ours and is out until the end of Feb.

Yes yes and yes. We are bang average.

[Toronto Villa]

We need fucking everything.

Pacy CB, Pacy LB and a pacy CM - ASAP

Deano
Build your own team from back to front.
We have billionaire owners with penny arcade players.

[olaftab]

Taylor, Hutton, Elmohammedy, Elphick,  Bree, Whelan, Hogan, any Keeper you can name make up the total shit  added to by mild shit made up of Chester,  Hourihane, Adomah, El Gazi, Lansbury, and the occasional shit of Bolasie, Kodjia, Jedinak, Bjarnason, which leaves Grealish, Abrahams, McGinn as the 3 decent players we have. So in this window and the next one Dean has a lot of work to do.

[PaulWinch again]

So we need a left back, centre half, defensive mid and a striker. Not much to do then.

Loanee approach really isn't working this year.

Get Grealish back fit and we will improve a lot. Completely reliant on him. Bolasie or El Ghazi haven't stepped up at all in his absence.

I think a lot of the problem is that with him being out the opposition doesn't have to close mark him so they can pay more attention to our wingers.

[brian green]

The last player we had that the opposition had to double mark was Adama Traore and we got rid.

I think the wishlist just got considerably longer after today ......when you lose 0-3 at home to Swansea you realise just how low this club has sunk over the last 10 years or so.
Will the fan base be patient to allow Smith to build " his side" over the next season or two ?
Likewise will the new owners be happy to wait such a period of time - judging by the comments coming out of the club it's a long term project rather than a quick fix ....with That in mind it would have been nice to enjoyed a cup run to keep us excited .... I'm not sure there will be a concerted play off attempt with this squad

[ROBBO]

Grealish on top of his game lifted the whole team performance by example, it is an indicator that leadership on the pitch is badly lacking. I expected a Dean Smith outfit to at the very least compete even if we are undermanned. The drop in performance the last few weeks clearly indicates that the core of the squad isn't up to scratch, badly need strengthening and quick.

Someone who isn't Alan Hutton, someone who isn't Glenn Whelan, someone who isn't Scott Hogan. Cheers.
