    Desperately need another creative winger to take the onus from Kühn a bit.

    Winger absolutely necessary and should be first priority.

    Pretty much this. Quite one-dimensional without him.

    Having another threat on the opposite wing might also free up space for Kuhn to do even more damage, without contantly being the focus of their defense.

    We all can see what's needed

    Creativity for definite..

    Fuckall really outside Kuhn that will run at and beat a man with ease..

    Need more out wide. A blind man can see that..

    We need serious signings for both wings. Maybe something different in the middle as well creatively with real athleticism to go box to box..

    Left back obviously that can overlap..

    We're gonna need something for up top now as well..

    Need a good 3 minimum this window..

    Left winger that can occupy both sides
    Powerful left back
    Creative mid

    Then in the summer
    Striker
    Another wide man
    Centre half, that can maybe occupy right back and a better option that Ralston..

    Kuhn is the only one we have who can take a man on effectively from a standing start and get into the box. That needs addressed . We play against low blocks every week we need someone else who can make something happen in that scenario. Maeda has been class but needs the game to stretch for him to make an impact . We need a right footed version of Kuhn. Palma threatens to be that man but his decision making and glaring lack of pace mean he's not good enough .

    As priority. Upgrade on CB cover , RB cover and a striker eventually as well.

    Tierney.

    Big black wide forward.

    Big black CDM.

    Big black CF.

    Not too much is it to ask for, is it?

    I think asking for a BBW and two BBC's is asking for a bit much....

    Window coming at the right time.

    ST
    LW
    RW
    LB
    CM

    Then CB in the summer. Can't see that all happening but that's what's needed as well as further deadwood going out.

    We need another eliminator. Someone who will take a man on

    Kuhn is the only one who can br relied upon to do it against a low block.

    I'd argue that a LB is our first priority then a winger

    Aye we desperately need some creativity in the team, outside Kuhn we don't really have that.

    For me, LB, LW and at least one other signing needs to be made, whether that third signing be a ST (Kvistgaarden) a RW or a midfielder (Hatate is gone in the Summer and Holm will likely leave too, so it'd be nice to bring one in early)

    LW is the absolute must either way, an injury to Maeda and we're royally * there, and even then it's evident he's not that useful against low blocks.

    Over the next 2 windows, we need:

    1 x RB
    1 x CB
    2 x LB
    1 x CDM
    1 x CM
    1 x LW
    1 x RW
    1 x ST

    Definitely need an LB and LW in January. But I'd look to be adding more, especially with Forrest's injury.

    Still lots to be done. Get rid of the deadwood and focus on having quality options off the bench.

    Agree with the LB and winger shouts, but for me we could also do with an attacking central midfielder. It’s unlikely unless Hatate leaves, but looking at our balance in that area, none of Engles, Bernardo or McGregor are particularly creative or great going forward.

    Hatate is inconsistent and although McCowan has done well, I’m not sure he’s the level of player that’s going to make an impact in Europe.

    At the moment, Kuhn is having to do a lot of heavy lifting. Again it’s unlikely this window, but I’d love an O’Riley/Rogic/Mooy type.

    Getting a similar quality LW to Kuhn is key, because it lessens the need for a third striker. If you have that quality at LW and Kyogo or Idah gets injured, Maeda becomes a viable 1st or 2nd striker option. Whereas currently if Maeda has to play through the middle, you have Yang or Palma as replacements *shudder*
