The January 2025 Window

Had we recruited decently in the summer,there would now be no need to add to the squad
I think Lacroix, Sarr and Riad were good signings, Nketiah hasn't had a run at CF, and probably wont, unnecessary signing, Kamada is not good enough, so LWB, RWBcover is minimum, and for me a WB is an attacking player, so 70% attacking skills, 30% defensive skills.

Just consider our midfield.
Doucoure is not the player of old due to his injury and may take time to return to former glories.
Schlupp is now 32 and his best years are behind him.
Wharton had been carrying an injury and it is uncertain when he will return to action.
Kamada has been hugely disappointing.
Ahamada has never been a regular and is out on loan.
Devenny has shown promise but has very limited top-flight experience.
Franca injured.
Ebiowei has never staked a claim for a place.On loan at Oxford Utd has only played 6 games for them the last being in early November.

I would suggest that our Midfield ranks need bolstering.

...and Lerma???

I was concentrating on those who are on the periphery/not contributing positively/injured/out on loan etc etc to highlight our need for midfield reinforcements.
A return of the Doucoure of old and of course the return of Wharton will prove hugely beneficial but there are question marks as to the timescales.

Apropos strengthening in other areas I would agree that there needs to be cover at left wing-back and right wing-back.It is possible that we could conclude some 'Loan' deals.

Fair enough, I thought it was more of a stock take.
 
Bright Osayi-Samuel was spotted in the stands on Saturday. He's a player we've been linked with for years, his contract is up in the summer and he's a London boy. I think this one could be in the pipeline.
