Someone from the EPL who's not getting much game time with their club will come in on loan for the 2of half of season in my opinion.
He’s not going to depose Morelos though is he, if Morelos stays of course. He’ll be a deputy but he won’t be ready to throw in so he’ll play in reserves until he’s ready, surely? If we signed him of course!!Campbell wouldnt be signed for the development squad. He's scoring goals in the championship and playing regularly.
Stewart struggling with injury, so I'd expect a forward/right sided attacker
Perhaps he can play in a front 3 ? i don't know i haven't seen much of him but as well as Aribo has been playing there is still room for a bigger goal threat from that right hand attacking position.He’s not going to depose Morelos though is he, if Morelos stays of course.

What's wrong with Stewart?
Freak accident on his calf apparently. Going for a scan.
There’s the possibility that aribo could be shifted back into midfield from time to time so you may well be right with that.Perhaps he can play in a front 3 ? i don't know i haven't seen much of him but as well as Aribo has been playing there is still room for a bigger goal threat from that right hand attacking position.
This will most likely be nothing but Rangers called my work looking for a place for a new signing, they enquired about a flat at £800 pcm
I will try find out more as they haven't viewed yet, i think if it was a big signing they would be looking for something a bit more expensive but who knows.
Need another striker imoDefoe for next three games then if that's the case.
In terms of a third striker maybe someone around the 19-21 mark who’s just outside of an EPL squad on loan but has potential.
Not knocking Stewart but he’s only scored 15 goals since August 2016. We saw last season in the league cup semi what happens if you don’t have strength in depth up front with Sadiq the only available striker we has that day and it costing us a place in the final.
If Morelos and Defoe were out at the same time however unlikely that might be we could face a potential scenario of going to old Trafford with Stewart as the only available striker in our squad for a last 16 Europa league tie.
Far too much on the line to just hope that we are lucky with injuries in the business end of the season.
The problem is we have 2 strikers who if fit are going to play.
Why would an EPL side send one of their promising youngsters up north to most likely not even get in the matchday squad most weeks - they would want him to get minutes.
Agree with LB and Forward but unless Flanagan is going can’t see another RB coming in with young Patterson showing potential.In order of priority:
With the outgoings, we badly need a midfielder either just as cover or, preferably, who can step in to challenge the incumbents. If the right player were available then we could go for a right sided forward so that Aribo becomes the additional midfielder.
If Tav’s time out is at all uncertain then we need a bit more cover at right back.
A back up striker has been needed for a while and the names being mentioned sound the right profile but it will be hard to find someone good enough willing to sit third in line.
A back up left back who can actually join the attack would be nice.
I think we’ll get one or - at most - two.
He can play in the spot Aribo is playing in. He's just turned 20 too. Too old for the reserves.He’s not going to depose Morelos though is he, if Morelos stays of course. He’ll be a deputy but he won’t be ready to throw in so he’ll play in reserves until he’s ready, surely? If we signed him of course!!
Gerrard always keeps his cards close to his chest, there will be an incoming player but i see no reason why it should hurt us, we have done very well so far with the squad we have.
Nothing to fear for the 2nd half of the season
I'm starting to get anxious. Wilso has done a great job moving on some of the deadwood but he's yet to complete an incoming transfer.
2 weeks to do something big. Or gamble losing 55!
Defoe for next three games then if that's the case.
Would be unfair on him. I’d rest him tomorrow. I’d hope we are looking at bringing someone inwe can’t ask him to play three games in a week surely.
This is the kind of content FF is famous forThis will most likely be nothing but Rangers called my work looking for a place for a new signing, they enquired about a flat at £800 pcm

Potentially if we have a long run in Europe, cup replays, fixtures being cancelled because of weather and a potential international call off with Scotland’s play off games we could be looking at 25+ games crammed into a short period similar to 2008.
In a scenario like that the gaffer would have to use rotation a lot meaning game time for everyone. Also as said previously Morelos is a marked man with Scottish referees any future suspensions would be longer than 2-3 games if that happened at a key point in the season asking Defoe to play potentially away 3 times in a week is a gamble.

When the Solanke rumours were first kicking about I was genuinely excited.
Right now he doesn’t get in the team, and I know you were probably joking but I just wanted to say my wee piece

Yea 1 bed in the City Centre, will most likely be a youth player or somethingRental prices are absolutely bonkers what does £800 get you? A wee 1 bed appartment in town?
I not really getting where the clamour for a right sided attacker is coming from? We already have four yet have only four central midfielders up to the required standard. If we bring anyone in it has to be a midfielder, we are woefully short.After all the headlines and stuff that's been written about morelos you can guarantee Gerrard will be giving them nothing no info for headlines. I think we'll bring in one and it will be a high wages loan a right side attacker it will be a big one similar to Defoe I reckon
I wouldn't mind us going for Eddie Nketiah from arsenal on loan until the end of the season hes strong bags of pace and can play on the right of a front three or through the middle so can cover two positions
Can't be serious surely? Our squad is the strongest it's been for many years.I'm starting to get anxious. Wilso has done a great job moving on some of the deadwood but he's yet to complete an incoming transfer.

He looks to be staying at Arsenal mate! Knocked back a few loans this weekI wouldn't mind us going for Eddie Nketiah from arsenal on loan until the end of the season hes strong bags of pace and can play on the right of a front three or through the middle so can cover two positions
I think he'd be ideal in the role aribo is playing in just now. But like another poster said I think he might be staging at arsenalArsenal pulled him from leeds for lack of game time, would need to guaranteed a game
