Article from John Percy on an interview with Mr Marinakis suggests we’ll be adding 2/ 3 players on top of scarpa. A CB, midfielder and attacker were mentioned.

We desperately need a top CB with pace it is probably the decision that will mean we stay up or go down.

Who is leaving then?

Bade for a new CB looks on.

Which attacker is on his way? Do we have space for another MF?

Colback?

We could buy youngsters?

Bade will most definitely be going back Rennes, Mbe Soh looks like he’ll be going as well. That still leaves us with 5 CB’s (i think) but only Niakhate is a very good CB. Wouldn’t mind adding someone like Konsa from Villa, knows the league, has pace and is decent in the ball.

Midfield I imagine if we sign somebody it’ll be to replace Colback. However I wouldn’t say it’s urgent we sign a midfielder.

Forward I think if we sign one it’ll be to replace surridge. We need a top striker though as much as we’ve looked better going forward recently (the few games before the WC) a CB is still top priority for me. We were linked to Okafor in summer (RB Salzburg striker) he’s a serious young talent so maybe splashing some cash on him could be a serious move.

Scarpa will replace biancone.

Definitely need more help upfront. Think Surridge may go out on loan to clear space.

Striker is a priority. I have no idea why we got Dennis, especially for £20m…said it before and I’ll say it again: we had our pants pulled down when it came to paying that for Dennis. Almost as inept as a certain Silenzi.

With Lingard and MGW likely out I would play Dennis upfront off Awoniyi. He's not a winger or a lone striker but could work as a No 10.

I’ve been wondering what we will do against Chelsea TWF, we look a bit short on attackers now don’t we. Pretty sure it’ll be a 3 of Awoyni, Johnson and Dennis . If scarpa was eligible I’m certain he’d be in tomorrow .

Johnson looked battered and bruised at the end of the last game but if he's fit then that would be the most likely trio upfront. Hoping for another striker in January but can't think of anybody off hand.

It’s a difficult one as we’re after a unicorn, a player who can create his own chances and basically bury every chance they get - impossible to find these days - it’s collymore territory . I think awioyni will score goals if he gets a few more chances, he might not be everyone’s cuppa but he needs game time at home where we are mostly a much more offensive team, creating a decent amount of chances, he’s got no hope of shining away from home .

Johnson and Awoniyi had chances this afternoon but their finishing still lacking. Aurier did fine with his chance!

I agree with you mate - they’re not in that elite player bracket but I thought awyioni’s all round play added balance to the front three and gave it the most all cohesion I’ve seen this season . We do need goals though mate, we can turn it around if we can just score more goals - easier said than done in the premiership.
