2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

Right back has been an obvious position since we let Ash go and it sounds like we've identified Molina. Partly because we like him as a player and partly out of opportunism because he's got a release clause of £26m and a valuation of 50m Euro's on Transfermarkt.

Yeah, it's been obvious, but I just mean that it seems as if Emery has played around with various line ups in the European and Carabao Cup games, and from all the possible combinations of players we've used, Cash is literally the only one that you'd feel comfortable with there.

I still think we might add to other positions, but after 15 games across 3 competitions, there's zero doubt in my mind that RB is Cash only. The drop off there is huge compared to everywhere else.

I hope Monchi has a deal done and dusted before the window even opens.

Also we cannot expect Watkins to play every minute of every game, especially if we are involved late in Europe and the FA Cup.  If Duran isn't the player we need then either we recall Barry and have an unproven striker as substitute or we need to find an experienced striker that can be relied upon in big games.

[Ian.]

I think Barry may be out for some time.

Gareth Barry would be a better option than Louie at the moment, unfortunately

We're in the BBC gossip page almost every night now. Still all BS but we're obviously clickbait material now!

Tammy Abraham being linked again, and Arsenal apparently are going to with til the summer to sign Dougie.

I do.wonder if Konsa was lined up.as back up at RB this season with another one of the CBs slotting in, but his performances at CB this season have elevated him to one who can't now be risked.

[Axl Rose]

That's a massive shame. He was doing so well.

I dont share this opinion and have to state it for my own good (I dont feel comfortable with him there at all).

OK, cool, we'll drop him and play Chambers instead.

He can definitely be improved upon as a player on the ball in Jan/summer but he is playing well and we have no one in the squad anywhere near his capabilities to play that position

Do we know when Tammy is due back from injury?

They will be waiting a lot longer than the summer...

[OCD]

From the timescale from a typical ACL, it could be any time from December.

I don't hate Rashford (well I hate anything and everything about the redfilth so I suppose by definition I do).but would not want him, overatted and overpaid, but like any of thier wankers would think they were doing us a favour coming to us.
