I read elsewhere that we are on the same points and position as our 2013 promotion season.
What signings (if any) do you think Warnock should consider during the window, bearing in mind FFP and the fact Warnock himself isn’t keen on signing players during this period ?
A proper defensive midfielder is all we really need and maybe a fullback if injuries dont clear up.
What is Ward supposedly good at? I realise that he perhaps hasn't had the best supply as yet.Quote:

Possibly a goal poacher, if Healey was fit he may fit the bill.
Defensive midfielder. Ledley preferably. Would allow Bamba to play at centre back then.
With Kadeem due back too. Ward can play on the right if need be. I’d say we are looking good.Quote:

It looks like, when fit, we will have Jazz Richards, Peltier and Connolly being able to play on either side, so unless we could find someone significantly better than those three who was prepared to be back up, I think we are well provided for.Quote:

Pilkington, Halford, Feeney and Richards can goQuote:

A winger to go along with Kadeem Harris to support NML and Junior, means we've got support and two players at least all around the park
If we're aiming for promotion at the time, then we have to look at what we need in the Premier League. Our inability to keep the ball in midfield will be ruthlessly exposed if we won promotion, as is our lack of replacement for Gunnarsson (maybe off in the summer anyway), so centre midfield needs rethinking. We need goals and more potency up front. Zohore is important to the way we play, I can't see Ward or Bogle being top flight strikers, so another will be needed. At the back I think we're ok.
Ledley was out injured Saturday and Derby lost for the first time since his arrival, no better than we have,you are joking?
Agree. Keep the ball down and I think he scores goals. Hard to compete against 2 big millwall defenders with the ball going in the air.Quote:

A better version of Liam Feeney please
Defensive midfielder who can go box to box and gives us the energy in parts of the field where we sometimes struggle against committed opposition
I'm certain this will happen. Think a winger to strengthen the squad will be priority no.1. and it's my guess that this has been the thought since the last window closed.Quote:

If we can clear out players who aren't playing then there maybe room for more. Bids for some players may alter our thinking. If we are being idealist you could say we have three good natural right backs and only one natural left back, but Jazz can comfortably deputise on the left so it's hardly a concern.
If there is money it might be nice to take a long term strategy and sign some 19-22 year olds with the future in mind. Tyler Roberts's contract is running out in the summer. He can play on the winger though looks a natural no.9. :-)
I'd class Bryson and Damour as 'box to box' personally rather than defensive minded (only my opinion)Quote:

I understand that's FM fantasy to some but it's hardly far fetched and is within our means...
a 20 goal a season player please :thumbup:
If he could squeeze them into this season for us from jan, that would be tidy aswell :thumbup:
