[Albion] Where to strengthen in January?

[moggy]

Think goalkeeper is a must and maybe a box to box pacey midfielder.

 

[One Love]

We desperately anyone who can take a good set-piece.

 

[Swansman]

According to Polish media, Moder will be joining Brighton in January so thats the box-to-box midfielder you are asking for.

 

[Wardy's twin]

what about Molumby or Alzate getting some game time....

 

[Uh_huh_him]

It's really not like me, but....

I'm beginning to see the argument for replacing Maty.

I feel bad for thinking it.

It might be one of those ones that we regret.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Yes,I just read a message on YouTube saying"that bissouma/moder combination will be something to behold.i wondered what they were on about.that explains it.

I fear you’re right. Couldn’t do much about either goal tonight, but, as I put on another thread, the number of goals we’ve conceded compared to our expected goals (xg) conceded is really poor, which basically means that the keeper is being beaten too often from positions where a striker wouldn’t normally be expected to score.

 

[The Fits]

Yeah Moder looks the real deal to me. Pretty much a complete midfielder. Unit too.
Really, really excited to see him. Begs the question what of Alzate and Molumby though. AND Davy of course!

Funny - that's just what we wanted in Hughton's day.

Sanchez then, and Alzate and/or Molumby - or maybe this Moder chap will turn out to be useful.

I know this might sound completely mental considering our previous window’s business, but left footed centre back, a back up left wing back (recall the polish lad) and maybe a keeper, but a permanent deal not a young loanee. Would take an older keeper on loan as a stop gap.

We might as well get rid of Bernardo. He really has lost his way.

I don't think you can lay all of the xga against the keeper, but some of it must be.

The thing is Mary really doesn't drop many clangers. He rarely (if ever) costs us PTS.
However equally he rarely pulls off a worldwide to win us points either.

The phrase nothing he could do about the goals is often said and is absolutely true.
It would just be nice to be saying he had no right to save those, but somehow he did.
I can only really think of one in that category since he's been with us

Probably a case of be careful what you wish dor

Just don’t think potter fancies him tbh, don’t think he’s anywhere near good enough to play LWB and too erratic to play CB. Noticed he moved house recently as well.

Hope you've got deep pockets!

Ideally I’d promote from within but I don’t know who could fill these roles who would be first team ready, Matt Clarke maybe for left footed CB? You are right, we’ve built a £40 million academy needs to stop bearing first team fruits on the reg instead of ploughing £50 million into the squad every window.

 

[The Fits]

Romero can leave United for £2million. 96 caps for Argentina. 190cm tall.
Wages high, but maybe no higher than Lallana/Welbs.

Maybe had he collected the ball as it came over from left it might not have let them win the corner. It's not all about shot stopping.

I think spending was closer to £50K than £50M last window.

Another player we own that we have to pay £1.5m to bring back in Jan who is writing these contracts ffs.
