    What I'd really like to see is more inventive scouting. You know, actually looking around the world for potential talent. That won't be happening though. I imagine we'll try and sign some Scottish dud and await news of any cast off's from England, then act accordingly.

    Were two months on from when this thread started and most predictions by posters have been largely true.

    rb is an absolute must. But seeing that were about to sign that perez kid i wouldnt hold my breath for a rb if proven quality.

    A striker now too is almost a given. With eddy precarious fitness wise and griff out, BR has stated his desire to possibly recruit two new strikers. Again... i wouldnt get excited. With the large outlay on eddy to be possibly used as an excuse were more likely to see loans for stutterers like solanke or steven * fletcher.

    Given the mass amounts of dross we currently are employing i fully expect at least a few departures. Hopefully we can arrange a pay off deal with compper to * away off and find somewhere else to strach his * and its highly possible lustig will return to his homeland... if not in this window then definatley the summer.

    For Strikers - we'll either sign some unproven youngster for a few quid like we did for Edouard with potential for growth.
    or we'll get some over the hill journeyman past his best(probably on loan).

    Ideally we want someone mid to late 20's and proven but they tend to cost even more.

    I don't fancy the likes of Fletcher and Bony anyway better with someone who's scoring goals at least and playing regular like Abraham and Gayle but it's Brendan's call.

    1. Boyata on new contract
    2. New permanent 1st choice RB
    3. New permanent CF(preferably experienced)
    I expect nothing though and to be ultimately underwhelmed.

    Dabbur would be a good signing, but probably outwith our reach , there must be players on the continent like him though if the scouts are doing their jobs. either that or looking at EPL or Championship.

    Weve brought in good strikers under Brendan so far so no reason to doubt.

    I'm expecting to have the shakes big time after drinking myself into a stupor over Christmas. By late Jan our transfer ineptitude will have resulted in my alcohol intake hitting record levels. The deadline day signing of Marvin Comppers twin brother, a striker, ends me.

    I would go and get Jordan Rhodes he would score a bucket load, on loan to Norwich from Sheff Wed who are skint, holds ball up well and can put away, been suggested many times before but cash wise was out of our reach but not now

    I expect a few players to go , not every player in a squad is going to be a world beater , But we have a few players basically not good enough and not contributing anything.

    If 3 or 4 go then bring in the same but increase the quality.

    Compper
    Allan
    Hayes
    Hendry
    Gamboa

    there's 5 doing nothing here.

    I think 1 young striker to groom, 1 loan striker with a bit more experience. 1 cb no matter what as Boyata will likely go in the next 6 months and Benkovic will go. Possibly a rb but I don't expect more than 3 to 4.

    Expect a loan striker to cover the rest of the season, maybe a young project long term, definitely a cb and fingers crossed for a rb.

    Also expecting lots of tantrums on here, no matter what sort of business we do.
