Midfield and defense sorted....

So, do we stick with what we've got in the summer and just go all out for a top class striker? Or do we look to add to the squad still?

If you get the opportunity to bring in quality then you gan for it. No matter what position. What needs looking at is the striking area.
So I would bring in 2 strikers with Campbell and Sess and send Ji and Wickham out on loan.

Happy that we have cover all over the pitch.

Remember we now have a manager that top players will play for!!

Too true! MON is the Paul Daniels of footie!

I hope we really get out first choice targets, but I also hope that if they're not superstars, folk on here don't get their backs up. After all we don't have a great record with stars *cough*Gyan*cough*

We only really need to replace the loan signings imo. Hopefully with some quality.

We still really need a striker - Gyan and Bendtner will be off in the summer, giving us money to spend, but we will be lightweight up front with just Campbell, Sessegnon, Ji and Wickham.

One quality addition up front would do me. If others, like Sessegnon, Gardner, or Richardson leave, then obviously we would need to do more.

Ideally, I would still like a fast right winger and a playmaker type of central midfielder to call upon.

I really hope we can keep hold of Sess, Gards and Rico. Sess could be the best 'signing' of the summer.

I really think we need to get Wickham involved with the reserve team. And maybe get him some one on one coaching.

Aye, get rid of the loaners and make sure they are replaced adequately. Other than that not much more to tinker with.

SproutMackem · 19th February 2012, 09:42 AM

We need a proper left-back and a good centre-forward.

Agree about Sessegnon and Richardson. I dont agree about Gardner, I think what we could get for him would justify selling him. I still dont think his first touch is good enough, I still think he holds on to the ball too long, and I still think he gets in the way of some of our counterattacks.

He can strike a good shot given enough time and space, but IMO, he would be fourth or fifth choice centre midfield at the moment - so £6m would be a good deal.

Wickham just needs time and games - he is just a kid.
