Hopefully by some miracle we’ll manage to shift Bauer and Wimmer which would free up some funds for a couple of loan signings.
Priority is definitely a wide attacking player with pace.

Don't we need more cover at left back too? But, as you said, the priority must be a winger with pace and ball control.  |

Liam Millar (Liverpool) Although his goal return on loan at Kilmarnock last season was somewhat modest to say the least. But by all accounts he’s very highly rated, can play middle or wide and a host of championship clubs tried to sign him in the summer. |

Would expect so, but MON must be getting a reputation for bringing on youth and we're in the mix as promotion hopefuls so we've got great selling points for a prem team's up-and-coming player. We need a Campbell replacement for the season and we should be in with a good shout for that. |

Priority is a striker with bags of energy who can make the ball stick! We ain’t gonna be spending much this Jan, so gonna have to be a youngun from the prem. The most promising ones went out on loan at start of season, maybe someone that was hoping back then they’d get a whiff of first team prem and now aware it ain’t happening would come, not many springing to mind. I’m guessing this post was a dig at Brown(?) - if so, a young loaner might be very similar player ability wise. Cheap option - some double sided sticky tape around Browns’ boots? |

If we are looking good and in the top six we will be a attractive team to join.

I wonder if MON has been to the Lake District in the last couple of weeks?
It would be good if a couple of early deals are done and a couple of well known departures happen early as well!
I’m in the pacy winger/left back camp so Robertson and Mane types lol 😂.

You guessed wrong, not a dig at Brown who works harder than any of our current strikers. I like Brown's energy needs to improve his decision making but a very useful player. |

A Campbell replacement is the primary need. Then a young energetic eft back.
Beyond that, move on Bauer, Wimmer and Lindsay plus one of Gregory/Vokes. Send Gunn back if possible and loan TOB. If we could move on Ince maybe there would be enough for another forward and a young right back

We need 1 quick striker and another to replace vokes. Wide left midfielder (if he isn't going play verlinden) and push j mac back.

For me the priorities would be: 1. Wide right 2. Right back 3. Competition//alternative to Powell IMHO the central striker is higher priority than wide right or right back. Brown is perfectly adequate wide right and Collins although out of position is doing a good job at right back. We could certainly do with an alternative or replacement for Powell. When Fletcher is not playing at the moment the opposition can advance 20 yards down the pitch with no trouble. Therefore we need a striker who can maintain a high press if that is how we intend to play. |

Campbell was carrying our attacking threat though, creating stuff from nothing, deadly with his finishing, causing havoc with his pace. Brown is quick but doesn't have any of those other attributes. I don't see us scoring many without another wide forward offering at least some kind of goal threat and capacity to spark off Fletcher. |

Is Vydra still at Burnley? Not seen much of them this season as too painful to watch. Kind of player we need but easier said than done. Saw him play in the cup

Vydra is a good call! 6 month loan would be excellent. Proven goalscorer at this level..........

Saw him play in the cup That really is a good shout if he became available. He would be the perfect temporary replacement for Campbell. Or even permanent and shift Vokes out. Obvs pie in the sky but would be ideal. |

A striker has to be the biggest priority right now in my opinion. The fact we've been playing brown up front in recent games confirms that.
Don't get me wrong I really like Fletcher leading the line but when he's not available we don't really have a decent alternative.
Bearing in mind we've played 3 less league games compared to this stage last season, I don't think we should be relying too much on a near 34 year old.

Is Vidra out of the picture at Burnley, then? (In which case l guess it's just possible). They're not big payers, Burnley, l don't think, but l wonder how our wage bill compares with theirs now we've been out of the Prem for three years?

With our lack of goals surely a forward Is priority along with a left back
Having a quick scout, someone like Daniel Johnson, Ben Woodburn, Josh Sims, Jacob Murphy or Liam Delap would do if we are after a right sided forward but it still worries me regarding our lack of goals

Miracle is definitely the right word in that context, particularly in respect of Wimmer, I simply cannot see it happening unless we pay the majority of their wages, which would no doubt negate the ffp advantages to a large extent (?) |

I think MON knows who and what he wants and will move quickly in the early part of the window, to give any maximum impact time. I really do like the look of Jack Byrne from Shamrock, can really see him having an impact.
