Yes but we're not signing League 2 players. You said he is above average, which in relation to the normal person, of course he is! But not in the Premier League. That is the comparison we are making.
I agree, but without the stupid amount of injuries we always seem to have, we'd generally be OK. But we do need a left back, and now we play 2 up top, at least 1 striker - even 2 if Defoe leaves.
Yep because were overloaded with great British strikers at the moment, they will surely cost a hefty fee with all the world cups and CL medals they have won.
What happened with the LB from Granada? The one who was supposed to go to RM. Did he go back to Udinese?
I would prefer a Prem-based striker to a foreign import - we need someone who's ready to go from day one
In fact it's irritating already that we haven't got in a striker and CB considering our injury situation.
If we're serious about Top 4 Palace is a must win, and unless Tim is playing 'mind games' we're looking paper thin ATM.

I can see us having a quiet transfer window, to the point of not signing anyone actually (although i hope this is not the case). Not sure if we can sign anyone of real quality in the striker department or for LB at this time of year and i can see Sherwood insisting with players from the youth team in case we are in need of cover.
I am not sure the key to our season right now is to sign new players in order to provide cover, but rather to make the ones we have at the moment improve their game. We have plenty of talent at the club, we just need to put it to better use.

I guess that depends on the clubs ambition.
If Levy wrote off the rest of the season when he put Tim in charge then fair enough, play the youngsters and see if they develop, what does it matter?
If Levy still expects a tilt at the top 4 and the cups then we absolutely need to strengthen at least at LB

Fair argument, but we had a better chance of reaching the top 4 last year and Levy opted not to sign a striker in the winter, which ultimately cost us a CL spot. I would not be surprised if the same thing happened this season.
I wouldnt be surprised either, he seems very reluctant in January.
He was the same under Harry.
Im coming around to the idea of a couple of loans. I really dont like or particularly rate Lescott, but if it comes down to him or Capoue I know which I prefer.
Equally LB, Vertonghen should never play there and IMO Naughton and Fryers just arent good enough. Id rather someone competent there.
Can't see us getting anyone tbh. We seem to always be quiet during the January transfer window. Unless of course someone wants to leave.
I want a right footed left back.
Naughton demonstrated the effectiveness of this.

Our squad is fairly decent cover-wise, we need a left back and a back-up goalie, but i dont see us doing anything else unless someone amazing becomes available. a possible Centre Back as well depending on the severity of the injuries currently being nursed.
Maybe Vigouroux will be recalled at the end of the season to play backup to Lloris.... He'd probably prefer to warm our bench than to carry on conceding 2.7 goals per game at Hyde.

I have a better idea, why not play Naughton and Rose as inverted full backs?
Agree! We can not afford to wait for yet another purchase to take months to settle in! Prem experience essential!
Unless Timmy is applying everything he has learned from Harry!!
...in which case, hold onto yer hats this Jan!
Nailed it. This is what was missing from timmys otherwise flawless 4-4-2.
I'm pretty sure kalou has premier league experience, unless the premier league completely changed since he was at chelsea. I really wouldn't mind having him he might bring something different, and god knows we need that. Are you comfortable with a striker who has ups and downs and another who has all the skill in the world but can't get a shot on target as ur only strikers in a 2 striker set up? I'm not.
