Who would better our squad?

Any ideas?

I don't think they'd sell, but I'd take Matt Jarvis from Wolves to cover both Lennon and Bale.

I was impressed with Nathan Redmond, a 17 year old from Birmingham, from what I saw of him in the Europa league last week (granted that's the only time I've seen him play), although it might be the wrong time in his career for him to move from his personal point of view, if he is getting games currently.

he was playing mainly right wing in the game I saw.

Definitely think we need cover on the wings. We have Townsend, Krankie and Pienaar who can cover during a game if required or for a game or two, but long term we need better. Someone who can directly replace and offer the same service as Bale and Lennon - pace.

I swear there's already a thread on this?

But yea, after yesterday cover on the wings, or more importantly pacey cover on the wings may now be a necessity.

As I said in the R for 3rd 4.0 thread:

Without helping to make this a 'who do we sign in Jan' thread I reckon now would be the time to test Bremen's determination to keep hold of Marko Marin. He is 23 in March and has 18 months left on his contract. He will almost certainly run that down if they don't 'push' him by accepting a large bid. They are having a mediocre season and are out of Europe. I think £15m-£20m might make them pull the trigger. I expect other clubs (Chels, Arse, Liv maybe Man U) to be interested of course but our style of play and current high position will help us

We have to get in there early so we have max time to work on other options if they/he say no

Whatshisname Shaqiri? Like the look of him.

Realistically... I dunno who we could sign this January. It's a tough month to sign anyone decent.

Marin can play either wing, CM or the VDV role. Remember when we played them last year - couldn't get the ball off him

Before Lennons injury I said we need cover for him. Now injured we definitely need a like for like replacement ie speedy winger
