I would try move Campbell on, or am I being controversial with this one and replace him, with another up and coming prospect Out of contract in the summer so we wouldn’t get much for him in January.

Keeper number one priority. Left back.
They are the only essentials
Be interesting see if we go back in for Asante though. His price may have come down a bit.
Cant see us going for another centre half with Clarke now here and Wilmot due to return around January time.

Doubt we'll see much action in January, the final pieces of his jigsaw will complete in the summer.
Gayle, Wes, Baker, Campbell all gone should give us plenty of wiggle room to get in the missing pieces.

I’d sell sell Wilmot in a heartbeat.
If we can get our money back we’ve done well.

The issue would be what we’d use the money for but on the face of it, it makes sense if it was used correctly. He’s out of contract in the summer isn’t he? Any money would be minimal

If Tchamadeu is two footed then there’s not much need for another full back as we have four of them already. When Wilmot is back we’ll also have four centre halves too, I can’t see us getting another. As pointed out we already have enough centre forwards. Only position is keeper, are Bournemouth’s keepers back by January? If so it’ll probably be Travers on loan again.
Injuries/departures aside other than getting Travers back I don’t think we’ll do any other business.

Retain our loan players Please Don’t sell any of our key players Souttars injury was a massive blow as with him and Collins we were in a strong position to challenge for a top 6 finish We don’t have the depth of talent to cover , even if we made a good profit Collins was sold months before Souttar got injured. I know The point I was making was that they were extremely effective together in defence The team seem to be “gelling” in recent games, it would be good to retain the stronger players in our set up

We need to get Travers or Iverson in on a permant deal, a left footed central defender who is dominant in the air and a 15+ striker. We still haven't got a striker that scores on regular bases. I would also have said another left back early on, but with Junior, Thompson and Gooch able to play there we aren't in such a need as I thought we would be.
1. Goalkeeper 2. Left footed and dominant in the air central defender 3. Striker
Offload if possible: Gayle

He's running down his contract so he can join Everton on a free in the summer. May as well disregard him now as he's not arsed here anymore.

We should be looking to sign players who are going straight into the first team, if they are available. There's no point in anymore short term signings unless we can unload some. we've got about a dozen contract expirees/ loan returns in the summer as it is. I'd say a loan to replace Travers( or his return). a left back, centre back and another Centre forward on permanent contracts. Of course much of this is dependent on what happens between now and January, if we are within touching distance of the playoffs, or god forbid, back fighting relegation.

We must sign a keeper.
It would be nice to bring in more options at CB and LB.

Don’t think we can afford all that Two loans and one cash signing is my guess I think our spending will depend up position. At this time it's not easy to guess, we could be anywhere between 6th and 16th. If we are at the higher end we might draw some cash forward. Big 8 weeks for everyone involved. Don’t think that has any bearing on it, we have the money just not the freedom to spend it re FFP that's what I mean by available budget We made bids on deadline day but got knocked back That suggests we have a modest budget, within FFP.

The striker call I do have an issue with. I think Mmaee is more than good enough. I think Wesley is good in certain situations. And I think Tezgel should be given game time when he’s available and signing another striker blocks that. We only play with one striker, those 3 are probably more than enough. There’s the obvious issue with Tezgel and that’s his fitness. But you have to hope we can get him to a place where he’s free to play games soon. And if we were to sign one, what sort of a striker would people want? I’d be pretty impressed with someone like boro’s CF yesterday. Good attributes. I don’t think we need worry about path blocking with the right sort of signing. We don’t know what will happen with Ty’s contract, I don’t see Wesley as being here more than the one season the wage I’ve been led to believe he’s on is about 600% more than his contribution is worth. Gayle will be gone and personally still think Maee is unlikely to nail down the CF position. If Tezgel or Lowe are good enough they’ll break through.

For me
GK - I’d love Travers back. If not him we do need a solid experienced keeper in. CB - A big and strong one. Not one that’s past it though. LB - A youngster who’s naturally left footed.
That’s it for me. I’m not sure about another striker as I’d like to give Tezgal some minutes.
Too many changes could be too disruptive.

Another Championship club or up to Rangers or Celtic He's got ties at the club and on a free with low wages for them he's worth a punt as a squad player.

Travers can only come back if we sign him permanently which isn’t going to happen mate I’m 99% certain clubs can’t loan the same player twice in a season Perhaps somebody out there knows for sure

Talking of negativity, look whose re-appeared after going AWOL yesterday Christ I get told to get a life so I go out and do stuff then get grief when I do. Why you care is anyone’s guess. A couple of questions; 1 - When you were abstaining from using this board yesterday, did you need medication for your 'cold-turkey'? 2 - Where did you go trainspotting?

Not a priority but would love to get Sterling back. Can’t get a game at Rangers.
Maybe one we could look at in the Summer.
