Heard from a very good mate of mine who doesn't get to find out much about transfers but when he does he's always spot on, that we do have money but Roberto would prefer to spend it in summer, however it's very likely that we'll sign Curtis Davies in January.

I'm not sure we should be spending 10m on a 29 year old. We need to find a long term partner for Stones although maybe Browning or even Galloway will be good enough which in that case a replacement for Distin for 2 or 3 seasons makes sense.

People saying about another winger- I can't see it happening. From the boards point of view we have Mirrallis, Pienaar, McGeady and Atsu.

Unless one leaves I can't see is getting another. I'd give Atsu back and try and get another even just on loan.

I think we would have bought Perisic had he not done his shoulder so I'm hoping we will grab someone.

Bony drops far deeper than Lukaku does, he holds the ball up and brings other players into play. Bony would compliment Lukaku very well, imo.

Bony is a fantastic player. I'm shocked that neither Arsenal or RS didn't buy him although I think they will this summer.

I agree though he would work really well in the Naismith role.

I know im going to get a real bollocking for this but here goes, if we need to rebuild at least four positions, Goalkeeper, Centre half, Winger and another number 10, then would people consider selling someone like Barkley for decent money to bring in Marshall, Kjaer, Honda and Depay for example ?

No but we should still try and get Depay if possible. We should have the money and he's exactly what we need. I thought if we signed Remy at the start of the season we would get top 4 and if we signed Depay I think we still might.

It won't be £10m mate.
 

I know a lot (including me) have wanted a winger in as a priority but after last nights performance (and many others this season) I would prefer us to get somebody in for defence.
Although we miss a lot of chances we still manage to score quite regularly.
The real problem I believe this season is all the silly and annoying mistakes at the back. We seem to be struggling to keep clean sheets and give away very cheap goals almost every game.
I don't know if it is because we are too busy playing tiki taka or whether it just comes down to complacency but somehow it needs to be addressed.
Maybe the return of Stones will help?
Maybe the lads in defence just need to practice more in training?
Maybe a new CB will tighten things up?
I believe we should bring in somebody experienced to "steady the ship" but would somebody like Davies or Kjaer be the answer?
Surely it's worth a try.
Then we can look at other areas either in January or the summer like GK, LW and CF
