What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

Bishop said:
Hmm you know he's more of an AM than a CM though? He would add to the collection of AMs we already have in Simon's, Kulu and Maddison. I'm not sure that really a priority signing right now.

Yes you can someone will always have to miss out &.then that can cause disharmony in the squad.

He is currently unhappy because he wants game time we can't guarantee him that. I am sure someone will pay utd ridiculous money & promise him first team football but it shouldn't be us

I meant McTominay.

Yeah, you obviously still need a buyer for that equation to happen.

I think many of us have cited the lack of outgoing transfer fees to rebuild our transfer kitty over the years when compared to other clubs.

Both Palace and Villa are interested in Johnson (reports the Palace deal is done in principle), won't be less than 35M

It will be a good sign if we pull in say £50m from Johnson and Dragusin quite early doors this window, and use that to fund a LW and LB.

Don't think Dragusin goes yet, still suspect either 3 atb or VDV at LB is something we are thinking about with right depth.

Obviously Biss could go, still supposed interest in Turkey for him.

The wildcard is would you sell Sarr (especially if we have another CM come in)?

Thats who i'm talking about. McTomimay was profiled as a CM at United but in reality hes more of an AM. Its where his goals for United have come from and its where he's largely played for Napoli. I'm not dismissing his quality but we kind of have quite a few AMs as it stands with Simons, Kulu and Maddison. Could McTominay play a CM role? Certainly, but then you lose the factors that are making him excel. As a CM hes pretty average tbh, his passing is meh, but his attacking play is his strength.

With Dragusin i just think Danso has replaced him (and is HG), we need a path for Vuskovic next season, and Takai can cover in the interim. But its mainly in the context of Roma apparently being willing to pay up now.

I imagine Biss will sign a pre-contract to get a full signing on fee. And he probably wants to stay around for the spring to get his citizenship sorted.

Sarr i would definitely keep. I think he's going to be a major player for us. Id ship out Maddison and Bentancur well ahead of him

He is better than Simmons & currently Maddison is out til next season & kulu is not currently available & might not be for a long time yet. So I could see us being interested but not at the price they would want

I think another year on loan (if he signs a new contract which rumour says we are trying to do) would be best for Vuskovich, no substitute for playing every game at that age, maybe for a better club.

Maddison doesn't compete with Sarr, I'd also argue neither does Bentancur. Way I see it
- DM role - Paulinha/Bentancur, maybe Gray
- Creative/10 role - Maddison/Xavi/Deki
- Progressive player in Pivot (8?) - Gray/Bergvall/Sarr

I like Sarr, I had similar thoughts but he's dropped off twice in last 18 months and if it's 2 out of him/Bergvall/Gray, think the other two still have a higher ceiling and the question is should we take the money?

Sarr put in some of our best #10 performances this year at the start of the season. He is best at 8, but id keep him over Maddison with the flexibility as a strength

For me, Sarr needs to stay along with Gray and Bergval for at least 18 months. Perhaps as we head into the next AFCON, if he hasn't found a new gear including consistency then we could consider moving him on.

By the end of August we need to see both Pal and Bents upgraded to go with these 3 younger players. Ideally, we'd sign players who have at least 5 years runway in them. Be nice to see one of these come into the club in January. A Wharton / Johnson exchange would be amazing. Dare I dream?

Was never going to get him, same thing can be applied to Wharton. However, it's good to know he politely declined, rather than being rude about it :)....

I'm shocked that an ambitious player would choose to sign for a club who won nothing last season over the reigning Champions of Europe and the opportunity to perform weekly at the best stadium in the land?!
