The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[TonyD]

Cash and Targett are decent but their poor crossing abilities and the tendency to make mistakes mean they are just not top six material.

Maitland Niles can play left back, right back and a whole host of other positions.

Would be ideal for where we are, but looks like he's off to Roma.

Owen Wijndal at AZ Alkmaar looks like the next Mino Raiola player to be hawked around.  Only 22 and already captains his club side. Played for Holland at left back. Depends if we want all the bollocks that goes with having a Raiola player on the books.

I’ve got no problems with our midfield players at the moment they can interchange quite nicely
Obviously it’s a crying shame about Nakamba so there might be something there that needs addressing

but overall the midfield is our strongest dept at the mo
Central defence and the powder puff attack being far more of an issue for me

8th highest scorers in the league, so not too powder puff.

I agree that midfield is least of our worries ATM. We need to see how Sanson, Buendia, Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey and Nakamba can turn into an effective 3. Upfront we need to see a run of games with both Bailey and Traore in the team alongside Watkins. It's defence where we need upgrades at left and centre.

Watkins and Ings have scored a combined 8 goals this season so far
They need to be doing better than that imo

Yep. Konsa is only 1 behind Ings on 2.

I like AEG but I think he is one we could cash in on next month.

I like AEG too, but I'd sell him at the right price. Just think we ought to cash in whilst his stock is still fairly high.

An attacking left-back makes sense and Stevie G may have seen him at Hearts. https://twitter.com/AboutScotlandd/status/1476135253580390402

Pick one name.  Not the one you desperately want.  The one you believe will be first through the door.   I shoulod have said that I think the above named Hickey is the lad.

He's started following Villa on social media, if that means owt.

Must be happening then!

Scotland seems to be a bit of a conveyor belt of attacking left-backs in recent times!

Honestly not sure if we desperately need anyone in this window.  If Nakamba is out for the rest of the season then I think we will need a replacement there, but not so sure about any other areas really and think we might be better waiting until the summer.

Been following us and other clubs for a long time apparently.
