I think we’re now in a position of only needing to sign 2 or 3 quality players, rather than wholesale signings. We have the nucleus of a decent team for the first time in 3 to 4 seasons.

Re: January transfer window

I wonder who we'll sign to replace Colwill and Robinson? Because if I were them I'd be looking to leave asap.

Ucan is the Bulut age - 29. He’s had an unusual international career, winning his first cap for Turkey ten years ago and then having to wait ten years for his next two, with the fact that he’s winning caps in for a country that is doing so well in Euro qualifying suggesting he’d be a good signing for us if we could get him.

I think Bulut sees the potential of Colwill from what he said and is working on/ with him.

Improve or move on, exactly what should happen.

A few sites linking us (and the jacks) with Marc Leonard, 21 year old Brighton midfielder currently on loan to Northampton.

Just hope that any incomers are here in the first week of January and we’re not resigned to picking up what’s left on the shelf on January 31st.

I’d say two midfielders a Lb a number 9 and a back up
Meite,Etete and Ugbo aren’t up to the job

I think that Erol will choose players he’s familiar with.

Agreed. It’s a no brainer as far as I’m concerned. Bulut already knows the players he would like because he’s already coached/managed them in Turkey. It’s a question of how much they will cost.

I think one quality midfielder and two No 9 s but there are a couple of existing players who need to be moved on first so the books can be balanced

Re: January transfer window

If, hypothetically, we were looking to get into the top 2 or be in the play-offs with a decent chance of winning them, there are only, IMHO, about 4 players in the squad who would start in such a team (Ramsey, Siopis, McGuinness and Goutas). The rest are either fine for decent mid-table finish, fair to middling or not good enough. We need a couple of windows to get close to that benchmark.

No Ng or Collins?
Saying that I agree with the two windows required

Re: January transfer window

We need a left back, a reserve right back, and a decent striker.
That said, some of the team are decidedly lightweight, and though we can manage with them, they could do with replacing.

Fullbacks are weak now but by January ODowda should be back.

I think two strikers and a No10 to play/Rotate with Ramsey.
