Sunderland’s RW Chris Rigg hasn’t had the breakout season people were expecting but is still highly rated from media reports.

His style reads very similar to SJM (apparently) so could be one to watch today. Still only 18 yrs old.

Shiiit Sorry.

Please don't praise Morgan Gibbs-White just before we play Forest in the Europa League.

We need a right winger with pace, who is direct. We also need an all action, physical left sided midfielder to help cover McGinn.

Yeah, we need to bring Ramsey back

Ramsey can't stay fit and takes five or six games to get up to speed when he's been out. I can't see us signing any PL players outside loans, kids or frees.

We don’t need any midfielders IMO.

I think we need a number 10 and a winger.  Bailey, Buendia, Barkley and Sancho all to be gone.  Not often I disagree with you Percy!

I was thinking about centre-mids really. I do think we need wingers.

I think a midfielder comes in. Don't see us signing Luiz. Love the guy but can't get in, not up to speed and big wages.

With bailey, Sancho and Guessand likely to be off I think we need a winger.  He might not be integral to Emery’s tactic but will be very useful as a tactical point of difference.  Feels pointless questioning Emery’s tactics but having one player that threaten the spaces behind the oppositions  defence would add a further dimension to our play.

I wonder whether a deal could be done for Madueke.  Can play both wings so offers tactical flexibility and Arsenal are rumoured to be jettisoning players to free up cash.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Doug plays away at Forest where Barkley is not available. Emery might be managing minutes by rotating them depending on the competition rather than not rating Doug.

Thought he was playing well but Barkley came in from relatively nowhere to start at Old Trafford and Luiz hasn't got much of a chance since. Should definitely have come on for Tielemans today. Didn't start during the week. Omens not great for starting permanently.

Still can't find a mini McGinn. That has to be the priority. No more wingers
