This 'lack of spending' includes signing a player we were willing to spend 7/8 million on. I am aware of that and have even pointed it out during a discussion with Trouserdog previously..........none the less we didn't spend 7/8 million as it turned out and that was what I was referring to with my comment. No doubt wages are an issue for us with FPP so maybe buying is not a real option anyway.........I am aware of that too Personally I'd be looking to sell someone that we'd be replacing, Adam or Ireland for example, I wouldn't mind which one as long as we got the right player in.

Harry Kane is a good shout. He was snubbed by Pochettino at the weekend despite performing well in midweek. Maybe we could offer him first team football and he could be Crouch's long term replacement. Can't see it, they need the bodies, plus he's still getting some game time off the bench for them.

Hold what we have.
Top half finish guaranteed.

The squad we have now is better than the one we had last season, so I think it's more a case of the manager and coaching staff earning their wages by getting the best out of what we have.
I wouldn't say top half is guaranteed at the moment, but I'm still hopeful that Hughes' famous training tactics will see us get stronger in the second half of the season. I'd feel safer with a top quality centre half to partner Shawcross, but that's the only signing I'd be looking to make.

From newspaper gossip it sounds like the Bojan experiment might be over in Jan..........guess that would free up some wages too............I feel our midfield definitely needs a rethink right now

Didn't Bojan sign a 4 year deal, who is in for him in January?

Central defender and proven goalscoring striker who can play up top on his own.

Yes, I would agree with that........I was excited by our deal with Bojan and regardless of his issues I remain very interested to see if and where he fits into the team......early days yet, I guess, but Hughes has to be trusted for the time being given his management record last season.

I would absolutely piss myself if Pulis was hired in January.

A new defensive partner for Ryan desperately. I like Wilson but he's not a centre half, he was signed by Pulis as a midfield player. Also a striker who can put the ball in the bastard net on a regular basis! I honestly don't know how long it's been since we've had a striker capable of scoring 15 goals plus in a season(Fuller in the championship maybe).

Probably a CB and a CF of top quality.
Move a 3/4 first team players out first though

A quality CB, someone who can take corners when Adam isn't on, defensive midfielder, if Sidwell isn't going to get a game. A backup right back. Yarmalenko.

A decent CB is now a priority and not one for the future and a holding midfielder.
