Paper talk is all about us getting Ethan Ampadu of Chelsea in on loan in January.
I would rather we buy someone.
There is little chance of us being able to get Tuanzebe on a permanent deal, which means if we get Ampadu also on loan, come the summer window we are going to need to sign a minimum of two centrebacks.
If we extend Elphick's contract and sign Barbet, (who can cover both leftback and leftside centreback), from Brentford, it will mean we will only need to sign one leftsided centreback in the summer.
January I would sign Heaton from Burnley, return Moreira to his parent club and tell Bunn to find another club. I would leave Steer at Charlton for the experience while seeing how, or if Nyland's overall game can be improved. If it can't, I'd put him up for sale in the summer and bring Steer back into the squad as number two.
That I think would be a decent January window.
If however we could also get an all action defensive midfielder, along the lines of N'Golo Kante of Chelsea, or even Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye, or failing that, attacking midfield/second striker Nick Powell from Wigan, it would be a really good window.
