January Targets

I hope the Bernat link isn't just journalists putting 2 and 2 together, with us needing a left back and him needing a move for the Spain WC squad. He would be a good addition - right age, good on the ball, pacey, left footed.

He's not looked pacey on the few occasions I've seen him

Good solid left back and right age

I agree. I watch a lot of bubdesliga. Pacey is the wrong word. I'm not saying he's slow, but when I think pacey I think a really quick player and he's not.

He does get up and down the pitch very well though. And he's got decent quality on the ball. Remember, he's not playing because one of the best left backs in the game plays all the time.

Allardyce has just said there will be no more players coming in, but a few will be leaving.

No left back til the summer then

I'm not arsed about a left back.

Leave that until the summer. Martina is managing soundly for me.

Seems to me, that any target they have in mind is not available or too expensive. If this is the case then it makes sense to wait till the summer.
Could we see Garbutt registered for the rest of the season??

Honestly?

Rather get the right player in the summer than the wrong player now

We already have the wrong player...how about getting an actual left back.?..i would even give the U23 lad a go for a while.

I agree but if we feel we can do better in the summer then we'll survive until then

[The Analog Kid]

To be fair, Martina now is better than Martina two months ago. Still not the best but definitely not the end of the world, plus Baines can’t be too far off surely?

Maybe Allerdyce is thinking about giving Garbutt a go?

[Bigjmill]

It obvious! Baines must be very close to coming back.
