If we're going to persist with playing 2 strikers then we should try to get Joseph back in January if at all possible.

10 La Liga starts so for this season for Mallorca with another 4 from the bench.

2 goals
2 assists.

As a player why would you join a relegation scrap with the possibility of championship foitball next season.
Best option is to loan a premier league player not getting enough game time and wants to put himself in the shop window in the Summer.
Not sure who that would be though
He may not be PL but does your suggestion give weight to the rumour of the Gimenez loan from Milan.
Loan + option to buy maybe.

Evan Ferguson didn’t spark on loan from Brighton at W Ham or at Roma. He is available by all accounts. Would certainly fit the physicality part of the mandate.

Would prefer premier league proven
I assume we pay people good money to find one or two of them who are out there. Don’t need any commitment from them beyond May

What happened, he was rated a 50M player a couple of seasons ago.. I'd definitely put in a low ball offer, still very young...

2 - Do we have to sell before we buy?
3 - If so who can we sell that will make enough money to say add a 30M player?
4 - Do we trust the Underwood clowns enough to let them spend the money
5 - Should we back Farke if we're going to fire him at some point in the next 6 months?
We can make signings in January, but would need to balance the books by June 30th (accounting deadline)

That players fear of being involved in a relegation dogfight is why good points in the pre Christmas period are so important. Being at the top of the bottom six, or better yet, low down the middle section would go a big way to alleviate those doubts, I would guess.

I think this is a good shout. A loan with an option maybe as I believe Roma want to be rid.

He faded from the scene at Blyton whilst Potter was still there due to an injury from recollection and does not seem to have worked his way back to top form and fitness

BBC Gossip saying tonight that ourselves and Palace are interested in Raheem Sterling.

Think I would prefer a punt on the Mexican lad from Milan …… or an Evan Ferguson loan which I really fancy.
