[Albion] Will we be buying anyone in January?

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

With the strike force all fit, apart from Andone who is due back in February, is there anyone we need to target for the January Sales?
I would take a punt on an youngster from Div 1 that could give us the height option up front but wouldn't mind if it didn't happen.

Thoughts?

A nippy forward with an eye for goal would be an asset.

Mooy obvs

Here's one out of left field: Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Athletic, mobile and very quick. Good pedigree. Scoring record not fab - but GPott might do wonders for him.

A striker with a skill set different to short and quick will definitely come in, or else all of this will be for nothing.

Crikey you are cheery today considering last nights result...

Make Mooy permanent if we can and then potentially another attacker/winger IF AJ goes and Izqueirdo doesn’t look like recovering fitness to play a part.

January hopes :


1) Sing up Mooy

2) Get Mlakar back from his loan at QPR which looks like a failed loan.

3) Get Băluţă out on loan.

4) Sell / loan out Balogun.

5) Loan out Alireza to get him playing again and protect his value.


That leaves 23 players here, so...


6) Sing a striker unless the January price is too white hot.

7) Sing Brownhill or Kamara if an acceptable deal is possible.

8) Sing 1 or 2 players for the future work permit conveyor belt, so we can look forward to them in 2021/2.

Don't know, but Chelsea might now. Be interesting to see if Lampard keeps faith with the youngsters he's been forced to play now they can go back into the market.

It's all about the selling IMHO. Team Potter's probably only treading Wotter til January when he can get rid of Ali J with the club's blessing. Doubtless been told he wasn't allowed to ship out all three of last season's big money duds over the summer, no matter how much he might have loved to

My guess - and it is obviously just that, a guess - is no we won't, except perhaps a couple of low profile signings for the dev. squad.

Of course I am and have been a ray of sunshine all morning.

But the reality of the question asked does lead to the realisation the squad currently has only 2 strikers.
Not only that it has 2 strikers who needed to be separated at birth (probably some kind of velcro effect from Aaron pre puberty beard) making the need to have that position reinforced by introducing a different skill set.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I don't think any players will be purchased in January but most of you are probaly not buying it.

 

[Seasidesage]

A right back. I like Alzate but see him more as a midfield option.

Striker - I'd like to see two ideally. Competition for the here and now and a youngster who has potential. Cost v Value will be the issue here of course

 

[French Seagull]

Mooy must be done

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

My guess - and it is obviously just that, a guess - is no we won't, except perhaps a couple of low profile signings for the dev. squad.

I think you are probably on safe ground saying that. especially as the club have already indicated that they don't expect to be doing very much business.

Aaron Mooy would be a fantastic last Christmas prezzie though should it happen.

 

[dazzer6666]

Mooy, 100%. He isn't going to be going back to Hudds whatever happens so let's get that deal done whilst 'in possession'.

Another striker (cover) would be useful (Muzza simply can't play the same game that Maupay and Connolly can - we had NO offsides last night). Apart from that not sure we'll be looking for any headline-grabbers. Suspect Balogun might go (or maybe more likely the end of the season as we really need 2 CB covers). No idea re the Ali J conundrum but can't see him getting anything other than the occasional FA Cup run out Wonder if we would more likely chuck another U23 in if we did have an injury crisis.

 

[Swansman]

Probably there will be more outgoings than incomings but could see us signing a wing back, Stephens backup/future replacement or tall CF (especially if Murray would want to leave to get some play time the last few years of his career).

 

[Washie]

A left back,
