Tom Heaton should be a priority
JT - go and have a word with Cahill, just write off the deadwood still sucking us dry
The priority as i assume we are not exactly flush re ffp, is a left full back and centre half. Pay for this by shifting out what we can. See who can play and buy into the " Smith " way till the end of this season and then re assess.
Like I said - JT have a word, somehow he was convinced ... money? get rid of the sucking ones, right them off as part of the long term plan to get to the PL. Tell him about a teenager at Borussia Dortmund, tell him about Gareth Southgate, remind him of his heritage, show him a clip of a certain goal, show him the fact that more people attended Villa v Swansea than did Chelsea v Man Utd. Pay him what he wants - peanuts compared to another season or more in the doldrums. Make him wanted as opposed to being second fiddle .... I could go on and on BUT we are talking here about the pulling power of JT for exampleWhat on earth makes you think Cahill would come back to us on less than half of his current wage, when he'll probably get offers from clubs at the top end of the premiership, or top european leagues?

Well considering we have only failed to score in 1 game so far this season I find it hard to agree that we have huge problems in attack and considering we have only kept 2 clean sheets I think it’s bleeding obvious what our top priority isDon't think it's yet clear what the top priority is in January. We have to find a way of getting balls into the back of the net. In the Championship you have to score, a lot, to get anywhere. Can Deano get our current lot scoring? The two areas which need improving are obviously defence and attack, but less clear about precisely what we need.

We obviously need a leftback and at least one centreback, preferably a leftsided one.
On top of that, getting the midfield to create chances our forward/forwards stand a better than even chance of converting.
I have begun to think, (yes I know it's 60+ years too late), that if we had Jimmy Krankie as our forward, we'd still be throwing high balls into the box.
