Louie Barry & Arjan Raikny both recalled from their loans.

According to Nixon we are after a left back, a DCM and a replacement centre half.  Obvious I know but he’s usually pretty clued up.

Sounds about right. If we offload El Ghazi and Trez with no sign of Bailey coming back to make an impact this season I’d get another wide attacker as well.

The holding midfielder we needed in the summer is still the most important. Nakamba showed for 4-5 games how vital it is to have a pure sitter that can break it up and read the game. Luiz isn't disciplined enough to play that in this formation. He's good enough to play the other roles, but not the holding role.

I also think this is the key. Get this right and we will be golden.

Might be 'automatic' recalls as none of them have figured much, so they'll be loaned elsewhere.

That’s the way I like it though. Do the talking when they’re holding a Villa shirt up on the pitch

Need to get it done quickly imo. Only 3 games in January (atm) so perfect time to get players acclimatized

Need Bissouma to be cleared of the assault charge and pay Brighton whatever it takes.

IMO.

Yep. Mr Gerrard hasn't had training to do so no excuses. They should have been lined up at the door on Jan 1st.

We’re skint.  Players leaving before we will buy.

No chance Gerrard would sign up for the job if we were skint. And even less chance considering he says we have exciting targets lined up and we’d be lucky to get £15m total for any outgoings.
