JANUARY SIGNINGS?

We could do with a new goalkeeper definetely.. Butland, Steele or Smithies maybe could push Howard for a place a little bit? but I think we need to use our small money in other areas..

A central midfielder is a absolutely needed, we all know that. The question is if Barkley and Hitzlsperger will be good enough to make our midfield good enough for every game.. if not, maybe Odjidja again, or Steven Defour.. this should be our priority number one..

A winger would be good as well, as Naismith and Gueye clearly aren't an answer here. Donovan would be, or if not him, at least somebody like Tom Ince.. potentially a guy is needed here, as we don't have a good cover here..

And a striker would be good as well. In my opinion, Vellios as a 3rd choice is definetely good enough, but I think we need to change Anichebe for somebody else. Vossen, Hoarau, Guidetti,.. we need a good enough cover for Jelavic for sure..

So in overall realistically this January.. I think we need to bring in a central midfielder (but if Ross or Thomas shows something remarkable till that day, maybe we won't need anybody there) and a winger/striker.
 
Donovan won't be coming in january, he's knackered. I'd be happy with a solid center mid, then a replacement for one of our fringe players.
 
The club have said we have some money for a loan. Not exactly encouraging.

We're short on loan deals compared to usual, so here's hoping Davey can pull off a masterstroke.

Mate I think Porto would want easy 15 million plus for Defour
 
Realistically how much could we have to spend in Jan if anything?

It might have escaped your memory but we received 15m for Rodwell, only 6m of that went on Mirrallas. No other players were bought so we've got 10m give or take to play with, that's what would've gone on Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, the deal for whom was a 1m loan fee, 10m to make it permanent in the summer. I would expect that to be resurrected if not we deeply need an alternative to Phil Neville in midfield
