I look at the other Prem sides and think we've actually done the best business this January. Another striker would make it very good. Add a winger on top of that and we've played a blinder.

I'm not sure we need a winger with our new formation but I'd be a lot happier with a striker and a midfield destroyer.

Does anyone know what we are after?  Is it just a striker now?

Maybe winger is the wrong term, but I'm not a fan of Trezeguet's and think Ghazi needs competition. Advanced 8? Wide 10? Whatever that role is. We're light there.

Dean did say it was "pretty much" just a striker we're after, when he was asked after the Watford game.

I'm sure if the right player became available for the right money, he's not going to say no, regardless of position. But it didn't sound like any leads other than striking options were being actively worked on.

That's fair enough although I'd like to see Trezeguet with a decent midfield before judging him fully. I thought he did okay on Tuesday but others didn't.

I agree, every time I see him live he works his nuts off for the team and showed quite a bit of skill against Watford. Writing a player off  though after just a handful of games for the club seems to be quite common.

I like him and I'm sure he's be much better, or far more consistent next season.

I've generally thought he looks a bit like a headless chicken, but he had a decent game against Liverpool and he did well when he came on against Man City, although it's hard to judge when the opposition are easing off the gas because they are already home and hosed.

I'm not writing him off and with time he could be a decent player, but right now if either Grealish or Ghazi get injured I'd be seriously concerned. But if it's not in the pipeline, so be it. We can't plug every gap in a January window in our first season back.

I liked him at first but he seems to have disappeared into a mess of mediocrity. Probably worth sticking by as there’s a player in there somewhere.

Forget Slimani. He is waster of similar scale to Fat Ross. He will be heading out to Qatar or China soon.

I like the fact that Trezeguet, despite largely struggling, at least tries. He always puts in a shift.

AEG, who is a player I like, tends to drift into laziness for spells, despite clearly being a talented player.

to me, he’s just seemed inconsistent- much like the rest of the team really. Some days he’s great. Other days anonymous. I do like him though and think he will improve and hopefully be more consistent.
