Do you think we'll sign a couple of midfielders in January?

[Meri]

For me if we can get to the Winter break still within touching distance of the top of the table then brilliant, but this midfield just isn't cutting it. Watching guys like Jack or Arfield trying to make a forward pass is painful at times, as is watching Davis trying to keep up with guys 10-15 years younger than him.

I don't think the situation is helped by Lawrence being injured (seriously the last player I would have chosen) and Kamara + Lundstram being badly out of form, but if we can manage to keep winning until January there needs to be plans for a mini overhaul - no ifs, buts or maybes.

At least one, hopefully two fresh signings in the middle of the park would do wonders for this team right now.

 

[The Ranger]

Hope so

 

[Truelightblue]

No

 

[Jim Prideaux]

I think Kamara will go in January, and he’ll be replaced.

Not sure I can see anyone coming in on top of that, we will be out of Europe though so ideally we identify who will be replacing (if external) and they are brought in.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Nope

 

[Diego Maradona]

Absolutely not

 

[ronadamus_prime]

I genuinely don't think we will tbh. Hagi and Lawrence are due back before then. Not a chance the club will spend money if they feel they don't have too.

Depends on the Kamara situation though. I think he'll likely go.

 

[MaxiMols12]

Lewis Ferguson may be available?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

No I don’t think we will. January window generally best for pre-contract deals and maybe getting them in early.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

If Kamara goes then perhaps.

Time to give youth a chance too.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Doubt it but depends if we lose any.

 

[Bluebeard]

We’ve had 5 years to sign midfielders

We haven’t done it yet but at some point we might be forced to so who knows

 

[GioVanBlueBear]

No best we can hope is Lowry breaks through and adds creativity

 

[spotlight]

Stay in touch till Jan. hopefully get a few signings in the door then.

 

[ElBufalo72]

We'll sign some prepubescent kid from Chelsea or Spurs for six months and maybe a couple of Bosmans for guys playing for Mechelen or Oldham.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

I certainly hope so. I move faster than our midfield.

 

[BattleFeverOn]

Wouldn't let Wilson make any signings

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Alex Lowry (when fit) and Charlie McCann simply must be in the first team squad or even starting 11 every game from now.

 

[Nick Angel]

Lewis Ferguson as well as the return of Hagi. Lowry still to come back as well.

 

[Youngbear4444]

Think depends if Kamara goes and how near Lawrence/ Hagi are for coming back into team. Also need space if we want to see Lowry Or McCann.

 

[NegrisLob]

Don't be silly, they cost money in January.

 

[BucksBear]

Kamara out Lewis Ferguson in would be my prediction.

God help us

 

[Hurricane Run]

Think Kamara out and Raskin in, is my bet.

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Lewis Ferguson as well as the return of Hagi. Lowry still to come back as well.

Lewis Ferguson….oh dear

 

[AstroScotland]

Who would buy Kamara now?
Are we going to ask Dundee if we can have our fifty grand back?

 

[Jaki Suds]

ain't happening - no

 

[Mad John]

We’ve been crying out for that for years. There should have been improvements on what we had and still we have the same faces in there, the injured Lawrence being the exception.

To start against Liverpool with lundstrom and a past it Davis is criminal.

 

[Arminius]

I genuinely don't think we will tbh. Hagi and Lawrence are due back before then. Not a chance the club will spend money if they feel they don't have too.

Depends on the Kamara situation though. I think he'll likely go.

And let’s not forget Lowry.

Can’t see us buying anyone in January.

 

[Bishyboy]

Kamara out Lewis Ferguson in would be my prediction.

God help us

I honestly can’t see why anybody would want us to sign Ferguson.
Just don’t get it other than name.

 

[Bill Struth]

Be loanees at best , who will be carrying long term injuries/ academy players .

 

[Barca Bear]

Too many on the payroll to buy any more.

 

[Bluechip]

Send Tillman back for starters.

 

[tazzabear]

We’ve had 5 years to sign midfielders

We haven’t done it yet but at some point we might be forced to so who knows

Lundstram?
Lawrence?
Tillman?
Sands?

 

[tazzabear]

Send Tillman back for starters.

Eight weeks ago he was going to make us a fortune!
Also, remember John Lundstram?

 

[tazzabear]

And let’s not forget Lowry.

Can’t see us buying anyone in January.

McCann even more so.

 

[Arkanoid]

Lowry and Lawrence to come back so I doubt it, if there’s movement out then maybe. Could we pre contract Ruskin and then haggle on an immediate deal? Again though that’s likely only going to be a move if Kamara moves in Jan

 

[Colinstein69]

Hope we do, the midfield is desperately short of pace.

 

[Bluebeard]

Lundstram?
Lawrence?
Tillman?
Sands?

All free. The question was sign midfielders for actual money. Tillman and sands haven’t been paid for yet.

 

[exeterbear]

Can't be easy looking up from midfield and Kent is hugging the touchline and Tillman is standing staring at you. Only Morelos and to a lesser extenct Colak have any movement. We are so much a better side with Arfield in it.

 

[tazzabear]

All free. The question was sign midfielders for actual money. Tillman and sands haven’t been paid for yet.

Sorry, didn’t see that in the header.
Infact, I didn’t see money mentioned anywhere before your post.

 

[rinosprayer]

No, we are not adding the quality we need in January.

its more likely we will lose Kamara and, perhaps, Kent.

 

[Blue boy]

Give youth a chance.

 

[Japandroid]

Nah, we'll have players back who'll be just like new signings. Or that's what we'll be told.

 

[peasandgravy7]

Where is the Ruskin talk coming from and is he any good?

 

[whitbyontbear]

Can't see this Board opening its own wee biscuit tin to sign anyone. They will keep any odd million they may get to shore up the Balance sheet again.

 

[Fu Manchu]

I won’t be holding my breath.

 

[two2tango]

I hope we are still in the title race

I fear we will be looking for a manger before then

 

[dtbdel]

I'm available on a free, but I'm 67... what you think?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Where is the Ruskin talk coming from and is he any good?

IIRC, it was widely reported/suggested by folk that had Kamara gone to Nice, then Raskin was going to be his replacement.

 

[SuperGers07]

I think Kamara will go in January, and he’ll be replaced.

Not sure I can see anyone coming in on top of that, we will be out of Europe though so ideally we identify who will be replacing (if external) and they are brought in.

Kamara out and Raskin in
