I think Gus will only sign players who will make an impact for us at Championship level otherwise why bother upsetting things.
If we get any injuries or suspensions he can grab a loan player in to cover or Kishichev can play just about anywhere for the odd game.
We could do with a striker but we are most likely to find someone who has struggled for fitness and can't get back into their successful championship side, similar to how we acquired Painter, but this will probably be a loan. Why take a risk on a longer term deal

ishmael miller on loan! available to get match fit!
Not a chance IMO, Ipswich and Leicester sniffing around him. I saw that on BBC sport and thought someone like that, struggling to get a game would be a good option.
All a bit negative, this, isn't it? We need cover for this, we need cover for that.....we've GOT cover! OK, so the the player(s) coming in might not be quite as good - but that's why they're cover!
What I'd like Gus to do (and I think he will) is to get in a couple of players who are BETTER than what we've already got, to make the team on the pitch even stronger. OK, I don't mean spending millions (we can't!) but let's trust Gus to keep looking for higher standards, not just consolidating what we've got.
That'd be like saying, we're 8 points clear now, so our aim is to make sure we cling on for a play-off spot! Let's try and move forwards....even more!

Miller is a BEAST.

With the current squad, the only signing we NEED is a striker. And thats where the money should go on a quality striker to partner Barnes.
Would also be nice to get someone in who can cover left back and a winger who can cover both sides.
However, If we can't get LuaLua back on loan, Then a left winger is the priority.

Seriously mate, it's getting boring. You CANNOT possibly not see by now that Murray is an EXCELLENT forward. He's been superb this season, even his previous doubters have said as much. Give it up.

I prefer Barnes.. Scored more and is only 21 so will get better better with more games, would be stupid not to play him.
As a team, we are not scoring as much as we should/could be
IMO we can get a striker who is much better than Murray

Gus needs to play the 'best friend' card with Di Matteo and get Miller in. If we sign him, get him match fit and send him back in January (with us fully 20 points clear at the top), then sign another decent striker until the end of the season, the league is ours!
OK, I'm delusional.

We've got by far the best goal difference in the whole division yet that's not enough goals for you?
Blimey, high standards. I was hoping we'd make the playoffs when the season started...
Can you at least accept that Murray has been VERY VERY good this season?

I would not say VERY good. Seen more from Barnes. But a huge improvement on last year.
Did not say that, but we could have scored much more, lets face it, our goal difference is not really due to how many we have scored is it? It's the defence. And that is why we are top.

Dont waste your breath mate. f*** me, one week it's Barnes that's shite the next it's Murray.
Murray is more important to the team, because Barnes can't hold the ball up, we know that. By doing so Murray allows the midfield to get forward, or enables Barnes to get it to feet, or to give it out wide to both Bennett and Lua Lua. That alone takes a hell of a lot of pressure off the defence, as if we had just Barnes, the ball would be coming back at us a lot lot quicker undoubtably.
Most of Barnes' goals have been from chances you would call fairly easy if you were a league 1 striker, made by Murray, Bennett and Lua Lua. By no means am i knocking Barnes, he's been great, but you'd be far harder pushed to get a replacement for Murray than you would be for Barnes.

I think the window will be very quiet ,LuaLua a priority . Sandaza is a concern ,perhaps a return for Holroyd .
