First rumour for January is Mohamed Simakan (BBC Sport Gossip). 20 year old French central defender for Strasbourg also linked to AC Milan and Dortmund.
Apparently we tried to sign him in the summer but might go back in for him in January. It would be nice to get some better competition for Konsa and Mings than Engels, who I have no faith in whatsoever.
Not sure if it's intentional but we seem to be going more for English players or British based players. Our complete back 4 is English our Keeper has been English based for 11 years. There's only Dougie and trez really that are regular starters who are not experienced in England. Yes we have brought in youth players from abroad but they will be here 4 years before they are ready for the first team.
There seems to be some sort of joined-up thinking going on this season. Whilst we might be bringing in a few raw kids from abroad I think our main signings will be far more expensive "homegrown" players, like Watkins, Konsa Cash Mings Targett, and dare I say Martinez who has been in England since he was 17
