Rico Lewis another that we are looking at.

We already have 5 DMs and 3 Wing Backs, should we really be expending our admittedly limited transfer budget on another?

No need another goal scorer, am and dm plus cb.

Here we go again with people producing shopping lists of new players we '"need". Firstly, in the Jan window the chances of acquiring good enough quality players are slim, unless you can splash the cash, which we can't, so we need to prioritise. Do we need a new GK, Mes is likely with us til June, so if Darlow signs a contract extension probably no. We've got 3 decent wing backs, so do we need another, no again. We've got 4 CBs so OK there too - someone even suggested sending Bornauw (a CB) out on loan and getting another CB in on loan, really, what's that all about? We've got 5 CM/ DMs, so OK there too. Our key requirememts, if such are available (doubtful) are a striker to cover for any injuries to DCL or Nmecha and an AM or No 10 to add a creative link between midfield and strikers, but such players are like gold dust and everybody wants them.
We've allegedly maxed out out PSR spend, so at best we can bring in 2 new players, and even that may require some outgoings to balance the books. Apart from Harry Gray (who we absolutely should NOT consider selling) we've not got the potential to raise much cash, so our Jan transfer business will probably be little or none at all. If we can bring anyone in, then s striker or No 10 should be the key priorities.

Agree JR, totally.
More talk of Oxlade Chamberlain, who is worth considering at 10, on a deal to season end, given he was reportedly on approx 40k/ wk in Turkey.

Ox was touted around in June, and nobody took the bait then (us included) so maybe the consensus is that he's not worth the risk at that price. Maybe worth a punt at 3 to 5.

I meant at #10 JR. He's available for free, so even better! ? Might bring a bit of Guilavogui type experience when it gets to the business end of things too?
