Assuming we will strengthen. As an ignorant punter with nothing but hope and faith, what do the cognoscenti think? Thickies, like me are also welcome to suggest names. Try to keep it sensible.

[Albion] So who are our targets this window?
- Thread starter Harry Wilson's tackle

I want us to go back for the Shakhtar CB Matvienko - RDZ was very keen last January but we didn’t offer enough.
Presumably Barco from Bocca is a target for January - but again they may want more than we are willing to pay.
Sach Boey - right footed WB - Galataseray might be a target
Assan Ouedraogo (GER)?

This guy should be top of the shopping list:
Domenico Berardi
With De Zerbi’s emphasis on scoring more that we concede - we need to strengthen up top, and with March out, Ensico out, Mitoma fragile, Fati out, Adingra off playing for his country -
Berardi is a must - he has experience, he is De Zerbi’s golden boy -
In think he’s 29 ??
Still a few years left in him

Roony Bardghji
Domenico Berardi
Valentín Barco
Adrian Mazilu
A.N Other ( experienced fullback)
Kalvin Phillips (would love a permanent signing but will take a loan to end of season)
With our injured players coming back, u21 developments and the additions above - top 6 finish - Europa League progression and maybe an Fa cup final

I have to look up at least one word in every one of your posts. I think I must be the “thickie”…
Barco
Amar Dedic- Bosnian full back from RB Salzburg
Roony Bardghji- Swedish-Kuwaiti winger from FC København (contract expires end of 2025, club ready to cash in)
Teun Koopmeiners- Dutch midfielder and set piece expert from Atalanta (contract expires 2025)
Serhou Guirassy- lethal (17 goals from 14 apps) Malian striker from Stuttgart with a rumoured £15m release clause.
Cheeky bid for 17 year-old Archie Gray from Leeds wouldn't go amiss. More likely if they don't get promotion obv.
Maybe a permanent deal for Ansu
Sorted.

Koopmeiners would be a great addition- I remember mentioning him pre season prior to us signing Baleba -
I think it’s now becoming clear that we need a few more older, experienced heads, to form a solid back bone to play every week with Dunk and Gross, I was hoping Dahoud would be one but he hasn’t quite grasped the De Zerbi way yet, although I’m sure it will come.
In January we need to strengthen with players who can slot straight in Domenico Berardi being the obvious choice-
Manuel Locatelli Would have been perfect but he signed permanently for Juventus this year
after his loan from Sassulo and has developed into one of the worlds best CDM’s
Our signings in January will all have some connection to De Zerbi, it will be a January window like no other, expect Tony Bloom to be writing some very big cheques !!!

With the emergence of JPVH (and when squad fully fit, Igor, Webster and Veltman..... who can all play there) do we need Matvienko still?
Was Igor not his "cluster" alternative?

That young vlogger Luke spoke to both PB and TB at a meet up pre Arsenal game.
Aside his "new year revolutions"! Bloom says most injured players back by end of Jan and whilst he mentions January, it doesn't sound like we will doing that much if anything?

I'd like us to use the loan market to bolster our squad. Seems a little knee jerk to bring in loads of permanent signings when we have so much talent in the treatment room. As players become available we will get a massive boost throughout the season
There must be a lot of talent available across Europe who aren't getting games and want to join the RDZ party

I'd also suggest that we recall as many players as we can in January to give Roberto more options.
