What's your minimum expectation for the January window ?

[Black Belt Jones]

Looking for Ron K to take the squad to the wood shed -The Goodison chainsaw massacre as all of Martinez's dead wood is brutally pruned out of L8.

So a window of crazed axe-murder, figuratively speaking.

Something where I can say "Not bad" and not want to go into a corner and cry

I thought we'd see an end to 2 DM's once Martinez went but sadly Koeman has persisted when I don't think it's needed for the majority of games, it depresses me to see it as the home side even more.

I could see him trying out 4-3-3, but not with the parts currently on hand

If Rom AND Ross get injured, he would play.
Otherwise we cant really sell him till we replace him.
The squad on a whole is way to big, I said this even before Martinez did, but we lack players in the positions Naismith covers.

Said that just before Naismith was sold and we never did replace him, just like Cahill before him, we need somebody who plays in the hole and makes a nuisance, somebody who links play up.

A Naismith with enough touch to make the final pass would be nice

Rid of the deadweight on the squad. I won't name names, but they know who they are.

Also if we don't go in for a halfway decent #10 I'll be very upset.

gillingham, doncaster and acrrington stanley

Accrington Stanley? Who are they?

 

[Barca Blue]

3 points , 1 transfer thread, Butland, Rooney and Snieiderlin

It will be a loan or two at most

Do you honestly think it will be any different this year

Nope.

 

[Debaser]

My hopes are for 7 players. A goalkeeper, right back, center half, 2 attacking midfielders, a winger and a forward.

In reality, we will get 2 (crap players) on loan and a last minute panic buy who players about 18 minutes of football between then and the end of the season.

 

[macdog]

McGeady back in the first team.

 

[bluestevon]

Interesting to look at the rumours and try spot the Koeman or Walsh ones

 

[Bullinasia]

In answer to OP question - something that plays like a football team is my simple expectation
