I’m a bit concerned about what might be an ‘indecent offer’, unless we end up with Mr. G.
In that case, no problem.

I’d go back for Sarr.
yep

No thanks, Guendouzi please.
Oh, don't get me wrong, Guendouzi is my firm favourite right now: I'd want both.

Sarr does not do it for me. Must be better out there.

It’s not really an either or, they’re completely different players.

I think we should look for players that improve our team rather than just buying whats available at our price point. If that means we buy nobody then so be it. January is a difficult time to get the right player for a sensible price. Better to buy from a position of strength than be lumbered with an overpriced non-starter.

I agree, but at the same time, selling squad players without improving by replacing them is potentially asking for trouble.

I trust Emery, but that squad last time out was weak.

We need to replace a couple just as cover for injuries.

Of the players that have gone, Ings, Sanson, Archer, Augustinson, Guilbert, Bendarak & possibly Nakamba / Chambers, only Ings has contributed anything of any note. So we won't miss the others contribution apart from taking up a space on the bench. 

But we need a couple of loan singings as a minimum.

I'd like 2-3 in but if we only get 1 and that's competition for Bailey I can live with it.

I'm happy with the keeper and defence, the squad looks sttong there.

With how we use our midfield I'd like 1 more, Guendouzi would be ideal.

Up front we need at least competition for Bailey. I'd take another on loan as well to give Duran a bit of room to settle in.

Time is ticking and we still haven't brought in a striker which even before we let Danny Ings leave the club for pittance we needed.
What the hell is going on down there ?  The bench looks so weak and that's been created by the club letting go BIG Bench players like El Ghazi and Trezeguet leave the Football club.

Oh and then our top goalscorer, you really couldn't make it up

This is my major concern right now also. Its one thing saying we will only sign 'x' of they are better than whats in our starting lineup. However there is also a place for players who are better squad/bench options also

Still hopeful of 1-2 in but isnt looking great at the moment.

Expect some large changes as we go towards summer. Lange wont be around much longer (imo)
