New players

How many more do you think Ole will sign in this window? What positions and what names, given all the rumours, can you see coming in? I expect another four. A left back, a winger, a striker (these 3 positions seem certain to be filled) but I also think he'll bring in another centre half to play alongside Caulker. Probably a ball-playing, continental type. I think there's a good chance of Zaha and possibly Fabio. I still think he'll get Diouf from Hannover. Not sure about the centre back options though. If he can secure good players for those positions I'll be optimistic about our survival :ayatollah:

'08.47 GMT: Mame Biram Diouf's agent tells kicker that the striker will see out his contract at Hannover. "Diouf will definitely stay until the end of the season. There are four clubs for whom Mame would play. But nobody is willing to meet Hannover’s asking price," Jim Solbakken told kicker. The interested parties are believed to be Cardiff, Stoke, West Ham plus another unnamed club. Trabzonspor were also interested and offered some 4.5 million euros but the former Manchester United attacker favours a Premier League return.'

Let's hope Ole has a plan B then :ayatollah:

But to answer your questions...

How many more do you think Ole will sign in this window?
-At least two


What positions and what names, given all the rumours, can you see coming in?
-Fabio & A Striker
(would love to see Aron Johannsson of AZ Alkmaar/US Nat - but don't think he is the answer we need now)

Zaha seems to be up in the air with Nani perhaps leaving - don't think anything will happen until the end of the month unless something changes.

I do think we can still get Diouf - but not sure at a 'good business' price (could be a desperation move near the end of the month if others seem to wash out and we're still without a striker)
