Still requiring the box to box midfielder that could add a few goals to our midfield. Anything else can wait for the summer.

Who does he start ahead of? Not MJ, Dams, Henderson, YY or Janelt?

I don't think there is a goalscoring midfielder anywhere in the world nowadays, they have been trained from age 1 to recycle and maintain possession. You are unlikely to find many outside the top few clubs who would score more than ours I suspect. The days of Frank Lampard and Stephen Gerrard arriving in the box or taking a pop seem to be long gone.

Or Ronnie Glavin the ex Celtic and Barnsley player who should spring to mind when considering goalscoring midfielders.

The whole concept of “midfielder” has been disaggregated now. If we’re playing 4-2-3-1, then does the 3 comprise of attackers or midfielders? We have defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders but, in play, even those groups are separated by a fuzzy line, flexing in and out of possession – DM’s are expected to make defence-splitting passes (e.g. Janelt) and AM’s are expected to drop to defensive positions to break up attacks!

The important things are goals and assists (Janelt 4), whoever actually scores (Thiago 16; Schade 6; Ouattara 3), we have the fifth-highest goals scored in the Premier League (35).

A box to box player would be more like YY then any other of the above listed. When I say goals I mean 5 or 6 a season, we do struggle for goals in that area. Maybe in the summer.

I think if we weren’t scoring enough collectively I’d agree, but we are. 4 twice, 3 v Sunderland.

Yes, it would add another dimension to our game, but the hardest thing is to find a way to score consistently. We’re doing that

Plus, you could argue either Fab or Mil might be Able to perform that role, £50m of talent out injured, already a part of the pitch we’re well stocked In

If I was going to coach someone from scratch, I would want better than side foot it and take a 50/50 chance the keeper doesn't lean that way. Toney, Kane, even Jenson you are putting your money on, Igor, well, it feels pot luck to me.

We play with a double pivot most of the time, though...so, yeah, the 10 should score more, but the two 6s? Nah. That's not their job.

So is the general consensus here that we are done n dusted incoming wise for this window? Bar the usual "should the right opportunity present itself" type line from Phil n Co.

Ignore him. He always recommends that we sign players whose values would be around £70m plus.

Probably. I think I said it this summer, but it feels like we're going to be signing a lot of what we would consider "B+" players. Like Yarmo, Meghoma, Konak, Ji-Soo, Nunes, Furo... Players who are ready to get first team minutes quickly, who are too good for the B team, truly, but not quite at the first team level.

I imagine we could see another couple of those coming in as we look to up the quality of the wider squad.

Slow news day then for Sky Sports

It is understood a number of top-flight clubs have expressed an interest in signing Wilson during the window, with Aston Villa, Brentford, Everton and Crystal Palace among those monitoring his situation before the 2 February deadline.

Several English and European sides are expected to join the race in the summer if he leaves on a free transfer.

Suppose we wouldn't have to worry about his inevitable goals against us! Sign him up!

Is it April the 1st?

No way are they selling him to us, they would only sell if it was a silly offer and we don't do those.

I can't imagine there will ever be a day I have to stop hating his stupid little face.

The annoying thing about him is he's actually really quite likeable. Not flashy, good attitude, works hard, fought his way into their starting XI after quite a long time on the bench, never says anything stupid or provocative. Honestly if he didn't score against us for fun he'd be one of my favourite players in the league.

He’s out of contract in summer, so big fee is unlikely required.
Doubtful we’re interested though

Don’t disagree, although great is a stretch. Just not sure he’ll fit the profile or requirement that of our buying team.

In summer he’s free, so a signing on fee with smaller wage demands because of upfront fee in the summer might mitigate for some clubs ?

Good few months, but very patchy prior. Often injured. Which i do realise is probably a plus for us 🤔

WHAT

Irritating little scrote. You do you of course, but I'd have a little sick in my mouth if we actually got him.
