We really need players in all positions but mostly attack and offensive midfield...

I agree Keiffer would be a great addition up front but Bournemouth are playing hard-ball, despite Keiffer having agreed terms personally some weeks ago...

Another 'nippy' forward would be goid, too...

In midfield, we need someone who can complement two of our current players; someone who is attack-minded, as I don't believe Sinopis and Wintle can play together...

At the back we need a decent back-up (or replacement) centre-back, who can improve further that area of the squad...

Oh, and a goalkeeper to replace and improve on Runarsson; that won't be hard...! :ayatollah:

i cant help but think cardiff signed the keeper just because he played for arsenal because there cant be another reason he lets in goals where ever he plays :shock:

The reason we signed Runarsson was because he had a successful loan spell at Alanyaspor in Turkey last season.

32 games 58 goals conceded 6 clean sheets not very good stats from what i can see almost 2 per game let in

Pretty much agree with Sven , 2 forwards, if Keiffer gets injured we are back to square 1 , at least one midfeilder, for me ralls and wintle were part of last seasons midfield and look where we were then.
Siopis .Ramsey and new midfielderat least, would like 2
left back..cannot rely on odowda to stay injury free
Centre Back cover
But that is wishful thinking, probably get 3 to 4 at best

I think we need to strengthen in all positions to achieve promotion, but this will take more than one transfer window. (and probably more money than the club can afford)

As we have a healthy total of points in the Championship, to date, hopefully relegation should not be a problem.
But at the same time, we shouldn't be too focused on the playoffs as we are certainly not in a good position to handle another move to the Premiership yet.
Therefore, at this stage' I'd like to see us sign a couple of quality, permanent players in this window to improve the first team 11. Obviously, a centre forward like Kieffer Moore should be priority, but then perhaps an experienced midfield player to steady the ship. Not loan players, as they only have to return to their parent club in the summer.
( we don't need players who are no better than those already in the squad)

If the wage budget allows this window, we could consider loans for left back, centre back (as cover) and maybe a wide forward. We could look to permanently replace these positions in the summer.

Striker and 2 mids who are not afraid to dribble and pass forwards. All our midfield are the same except same except rambo, static only pass back or sideways and dont dribble.

Why there no movement, look at the diff in the Leeds game with the CBs and DM, moved around the pitch passing it and other made runs, made it look easy.

For me..

Priority 1

- A proven goalscorer at this level or above
- A starting left back
- A back up striker

Priority 2

- A number 10 / playmaker who can influence at this level or above
- Wingers. Both sides.
- CB Cover
