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

I think Barry may be out for some time.

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

He had found his level perhaps.

[AV84]

The Tammy thing is interesting when you think of the story from the summer that we'd already agreed a deal for him before he got injured. Some believe that's why we didn't sign a striker even when we let Archer go. We'd go back in for him in January.

This story says he will look to leave Roma if Mourinho leaves at the end of the season. Chelsea, Brentford, and ourselves have been alerted to this.

He has filled out a little, so was able to cope better with the physical side of the game...

Before that, he looked & played like a little boy against men...

Hopefully his injury heals quickly & he can get back to proving me wrong about his future...

Bryan Mbeumo would be a great signing.

We could sing the Brian Boitano song from South Park at him!

Yeah, interesting to see if anything happens with it for that reason. He's certainly a marmite player but Emery's good at identifying players and then his coaching team always seem to make players better, given time.

I think a lot will depend on how the Conference plays out for us. Assuming we still have extra games to play, I think Abraham would be a great addition. Especially under Emery and with the attacking play we're now seeing. I don't think Durán is reliable enough to be our only other striker yet, and at only 19, another year of slower development won't hurt him.

[Toronto Villa]

I’m a big fan of Tammy’s overall game. And he’s always come across as demanding of himself and being someone who would buy into the squad concept. He’s lost his England squad place too so with the amount games we have and plan to have going forward I think he’d be a good addition. And it probably allows us to send Duran out on loan at some point.

[OCD]

It would put our striker's department on a similar level to Newcastle with 2 genuine options.

[Toronto Villa]

Yeh that’s important. Ollie is clear number 1 for all he brings and it’s hard to find another player that doesn’t everything he does. But having a really solid number 2 striker like Wilson provides for Newcastle would be great to have.

Would anyone be hankering after Abraham if he hadn't done well for us in the Championship? Hourihane did well for us in the Championship, as did Kodjia and Snodgrass.

Probably not. I don't see us being I for him at all myself.

[Toronto Villa]

Abraham has done pretty well for Roma. And has played in European competition. So outside of the fact he did really well for us it’s not like he’s not done anything at all since.

He has scored elsewhere though, not just in the Championship.

Totally agree on this.
