I still feel we could do with another midfielder in the central attacking position in midfield that number 10 position jack & davis and kamara have been outstanding but play that more deeper role , aribo & arfield blow hot and cold and kent although can play there will be more out wide
 
We dont really play that way anymore. Hence why arfield finds himself out wide and not really his game. Its the right hand side that is the weakest part of the team IMO.
 
i think we badly miss a creative central attacking midfielder someone who can change a game. i thought it was gonna be aribo but am not so sure now. if there is amy funds available ad like to see us go for the no10 then try get a right winger onky if jones doesn't take that position over next few weeks. i really like the feyernord captain last night axtually hes a good player wouldnt mind him at Ibrox
 
Unless it's a massive disinformation campaign, both SG and the board are saying that we're not looking to add to the squad in January.
 
We need somebody like nae neck. His improvement in the last couple of seasons is outstanding.

Add his contributions to our team and we win the league!
 
The thing is we have a player who fits this mould perfectly and has all the talent in the world in Aribo, he just seems to play within himself, very similar to Barasic first season, hopefully he can settle in soon
 
Would prefer a top quality right winger/ inside forward.

Yes, this for me too.

The midfield three of last night is fine for us in the majority of games and we've already bought Aribo for this more attacking role and he'll take time to settle in just like Barisic has done.

At the moment, beyond Kent and Alfie upfront, the 3rd attacking role is a complete toss up between Arfield, Ojo, Stewart and Barker and none appear good enough to nail it down. They've all got their strengths and weaknesses but it's the one spot in the team where we don't have a player good enough to be a regular starter as things stand.
 
I like Defoe but would be a bit worried if Morelos was out with an injury at the business end of the season and all we had was Defoe and Stewart up top.

Financially if it’s possible we should try and get a striker and right winger on loan. Maybe someone like Brewster from Liverpool?
 
Right at the moment I’d have difficulty deciding who a new face would replace in the forward area.

Kent can play anywhere across the front, Alfie often does good stuff in the channels, we’re waiting on JJ to come back and hopefully fulfil the promise he’s shown. Aribo’s in the mix too although he’s still a bit to prove. The three at mid are untouchable for me.

Plus we’re skint ;)
 
Long term I think that’s where Aribo will find himself. He does blow hot and cold to be fair but he has been at Charlton and the demands of wearing our jersey are incomparabe.

He will come good imo.
We really should be playing him right behind Alfie,to get the best out of him.
His obvious talent is not being seen,playing deeper,imo.
 
IMO it's not so much the midfield that's the issue right now nut rather the defence. Just look at the recent Europa Cup away games, most of the goals that we conceded were all down to poor defending. Also, during the 2-0 loss to the yahoos, the first goal - which really was the game - was a defensive error. I cite the old football adage = 'all great teams are built from the back out'.
 
A right winger is needed much more, I would personally look at bringing in Luis Sinisterra from Feyenoord who scored that peach of a goal against us. Colombian U20 International.
 
Accept £8 million for Kamara

Bid £5 million for Emi Buendia

We may be losing one of our many impressive central/holding midfielders, but we would be gaining a very exciting 22 year old who can play as Attacking Mid or Right Winger. In addition to having made an investment in an Asset who will only increase in value.

There’s no way Norwich accept £5m for Buendia

Times it by 6 and Norwich will accept that offer.

Norwich are going down. Buendia may very well have a relegation release clause.
They might deal with us in January to ensure a fee and also if the player like the idea of playing in Europe next year.
