What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

They were trying to sell/loan Gittens during the last window, so hes no barrier to them bringing someone else in. Their wide players are ok, but they want better.

I don't find their approach that confusing, they continually player trade until they get an indisputable player ie. someone like Palmer. No settling at Chelsea.

What's "confusing" is they pay high fees, players fail and they somehow make money on the sale as well (with a couple of exceptions), nothing to see here ... move along
 
Cheatski just pulled out of the race for Semenyo. I think it’ll be important to remember when he chooses Liverpool, Arse or City, we didn’t miss out on him. He chose not to come to us. And that’s what needs addressing at the club. Making us a desirable destination

That requires high enough wages to compensate for the reduced sporting pedigree and ambition compared to the other Top 6 sides, hell the Top 8 even.
 
This is becoming a very dangerous window…spend too much on a specific type of player and we risk being locked in. Under-reinforce the manager and we risk looking unsupportive. Weird, weird times. I think another left-back and midfielder is important.

If we buy anyone we have a squad issue regardless
Ideal scenario is we can loan out Tel to Bournemouth for example to cover for Semenyo

We do unsupportive really well. With the lack of Levy wild card who knows what way we might play things but the latter option is usually our default approach.

However, when you think about it more the core of Ange's team has become the core of Frank's team. I think as long as you buy well these players can morph into the next manager's philosophy. I have a feeling the opposite applies as well. The ones that Frank will want to offload will be the same as the ones that Ange would have done if he had stayed on.

I'm actually a big fan of us staying in the 21-26 age bracket and going for players that we can get 5 years out of. We're well on way with that strategy with guys like Romero, VDV, Porro, Kulu etc. Kudus seems to fit that as well.

I agree with your 2 positions, but no LB really rolls off the tongue. I hope Lange can unearth one.

But you have the elephant in the room signing from Ange, Johnson, we don't need another super specific player that is unlikely to translate to another manager.

Hmm you know he's more of an AM than a CM though? He would add to the collection of AMs we already have in Simon's, Kulu and Maddison. I'm not sure that really a priority signing right now.

Id say he does a bit of everything. He can tackle, pass, shoot and he has a great workrate. You cant have enough quality players.

Would we then not end up with Gray, Bergvall, Sarr and Mainoo (and Bentancur) all best suited to playing 8, so some having to play in secondary positions of DM and 10? It kind of exacerbates our current imbalance.

Yes you can someone will always have to miss out &.then that can cause disharmony in the squad.

He is currently unhappy because he wants game time we can't guarantee him that. I am sure someone will pay utd ridiculous money & promise him first team football but it shouldn't be us
