January Targets

[GLewis]

I think it’s all very well saying let’s leave DCL there but a) what if he’s injured / suspended? b) what if his form dips (which is likely given age)?

I fail to believe that there’s not a decent forward out there available for loan to provide some competition / insurance.

Brighton have asked us about Naisse' availability in January

[Jimmywhack]

Any names mentioned

Only that it's defo not Deeney

I'd go for a loan of someone like Okaka or Ulloa. Just willing participant for the rest of the season.

Well Giroud’s hamstring has just gone so that might rule him out of a loan move in January.

Seven points off sixth now. I've no problem with a short term solution to try and salvage something from this season.

There must be strikers out there who want game time before the World Cup.

That plus a LB would probably suffice now. I thought we'd be a lot, lot busier a few weeks ago though.

Vokes from Burnley. People may laugh but think he would be quite an effective player. Fit right into Sams tactics playing the long ball.

Sam Vokes? Come on man.

The truth is someone of that ilk would probably do reasonably well. The issue is we’ve just come from Lukaku leading the line so most players who are willing to sign for us will seem like a massive comedown from there.

Which is why I think we need 7th spot and hopefully European football again, to remodel the squad with a requisite standard of player.

There's a reason Vokes can't get into the Burnley team, he's shit, I'm 41 and overweight and still better than him

Without being too critical I dont his form dipping is the major issue, hes really not good enough on top form at this point to be the main man in any Premiership team. Hes done we'll but it wouldnt be too hard, given our current financial backing, to improve. In the future who knows, but we need to think about the hear and now.
