I see Matty Lund has won L1 player of the month for December. Always rated him. Although Rochdale are doing well they aren't a wealthy club. Wonder how much he would cost? Good player yes BUT we need to sort out GK and defence, don't we ?

Good player yes BUT we need to sort out GK and defence, don't we ? They are priorities but I would agree we definitely need more strength in the middle with Boateng and Colkett going back to their parent clubs. I see Lines and Clarke as our first choice 2 now but I have not been convinced by our other CM's.

I think GK (Curci), CB and defensive mid are what we'll see

That would leave us with O.Clarke, Sinclair and Mansell who are all defensive midfielders. We'd have nobody that can pick a pass, run with the ball and create chances. Personally, although I'm not convinced O.Clarke, Sinclair & Mansell are good enough I'd still rather see someone like Lund come in because if Lines is out the side for any length of time we're F...

We could play Gosling in the Lines role if need be.....

At least £1m probably more He's out of contract in the Summer. If they were asking for that much this month then that's one that I would definitely rather DC waited til the Summer to bring in. UTG!

We still need quality in midfield even if boateng and Colkett were still there,everyone is saying we're ok with lines and Clarke but rewind to Shrewsbury We need more quality not numbers

With Hartley being out think we need two centre halves, defensive midfielder, and a keeper. Etheridge from Warsaw who was here on loan would be a great start, Oztumer is there too, so pick them up and get Dunkley from Oxford on way back in Waels transit van!

With his size I imagine him to be like Colkett and play in the hole rather than a normal 4-4-2. Is he capable of doing his defensive duties as a box-to-box midfielder?

Good player yes BUT we need to sort out GK and defence, don't we ? To my mind we need a keeper urgently not just a keeper but one that has the presence of mildy who is able to command and guide the defence , a keeper of that ilk will probably be a revelation in the team in giving the defence more confidence just me penorth worth

There's no point signing Oztumer if he's exactly the same as Colkett and can't play in a 4-4-2 because he can't defend. UTG!

In fact I believe you could argue that every position needs strengthening bar Up front.
We need a new keeper (Roos and Puddy not good enough, Mildy injured)
New CB or maybe 2 with Hartley injured, Lockyer been too inconsistent so need more options.
Full back to cover Leadbitter/Brown.
Midfield as Boateng and Colkett gone and Sinclair, Mansell and Lawrence not good enough.
Wings - Bodin and Montano decent but only Moore as back up, maybe another.

Would be a decent team: .................Stuart Taylor.............. ...........Stuart Taylor.........Taylor Moore......... ..Williams....Williams....Williams....Williams... ....Stewart...Taylor....Taylor....Moore.... few more in bench ? Nah - the bench will be: Ryan Clarke, James Clarke, Billy Clarke, Ollie Clarke, Jake Clarke-Salter, Darrell Clarke, David Clarkson.

Do you honestly feel Gaffers/Ellis & Easter are good enough for us to make a promotion challenge? Where would the goals come from if MT left or was ever out injured for any length of time? Have those 3 even scored 10 goals between them? Nobody ever gets on the end of any of the crosses into the box, bar Hartley, so signing even more signers seems pointless.

Hartley's goals have helped and he's not going to be around for a while, so it is a valid concern about where the goals are going to come from outside of Taylor. The one glimmer of light, though, is the return to form of Billy Bodin, which could be crucial.

I mentioned Oztumers name in the summer, got shot down by the forum mafia as he was a Peterborough reject (unlike James? lol)
