We only have one (injured) loan player TJJ.
Do you think KMc will use his network to bing one or two loans in?
It would be very costly to buy in a top player, especially a goal scorer, during the window |  | | |  |

Costly? But this is what we need. What we need is a Sir Marcus Stewart ilk of signing to bolster our auto-promotion chances ! Simple as that ! |  | | |

I am sure we will spend what we need to on what we think is the right value. If that is a loan or permanent or we again fail to find the right fit time will tell. What we won't do is overpay on the wrong fit. |  |

Connor Wickham is available on a free which could be an interesting one potentially
Obviously we should have Leigh, Ahadme and Aluko back before too long? |  |

Based on us spending what we have needed to on the right fit so far and not breaking the bank to bring in the likes of Hurst or panic-buying a random player at well over the odds instead.
What leads you to ask your question? | |

Midfield is maybe more important - Ball out, Evans injured and a little injury prone, Morsy yellow card specialist,Humphreys able but young. Camara coming back from injury.
Plus Will Keane of course. |  |

I am only asking why you are so sure of what is going to happen come January.
A clinical striker? Please tell us about it as we need that ilk of a player. | | | |

That was a simple question regarding your thinking and refuse to answer.
Make sure you keep copying your words from yesterday and today next time when we fail to beat so called 's**t opposition' at Portman Road. [Post edited 13 Nov 2022 23:17]

Wouldn’t it be nice to get a decent unknown foreigner striker for a nice loan then option to buy other teams seem to get them . |  | | |

100% agree.
Money spent on a new striker in January, is money well spent in my opinion.
To not come away with 3 points having had 29 & 34 shots vs Lincoln and Cheltenham underlines this. | | | |

Jeez!! Sixty three shots, one goal and one point against these two clubs is almost criminal…….. |  | | |

The club has recently sent out the message that they would look to improve in Transfer windows and KM seemed to confirm we will try and be active again in January probably made a little more necessary but several injuries. Could be interesting again . The odd loan okay but think development of our squad is the aim , quality over quantity. |  | | |

January isn’t a good time to find players. Firstly the decent ones are already tied up. Secondly why would a good striker come here, we’re not guaranteed to go up and thirdly it’s not been easy to attract players to the wilds of Suffolk.
Playing to KM style needs strikers that can anticipate defence splitting passes or over the top to run on. JJ is perhaps the right sort but now injured but Freddie most certainly isn’t. Jacko could be but he can’t cope with big defenders.
Norwood would’ve been perfect so we now have a cf that is too slow and two no 10s that just shoot anywhere, looks good but not enough goals. Harness seems to think that goals are ten feet high ( well that’s where most of his go) and Chaplin is always in a rush and perhaps should watch a few of Stewart’s goals!
With cup games coming up I’d try one of our youngsters, (can’t be any worse!) until January. |  | | |

Why has nobody mentioned a midfielder on this thread? It's essential we strengthen there in January. | |

A good striker would come here of course if we are prepared to offer him a better deal than he is on at the moment and of course we can do a deal with his owners . | | | |

Do we know exactly how far off Ahadme is from full recovery? Info seems a bit ambiguous .
Assuming he's fit by January, that gives us 3 from 4 forwards, in Ladapo, Jackson, and Gas., with JJ sidelined.. By the time the window opens.
Who is actually out there, that would fit the mould, of what we need?
Marcus Stewart was a miracle signing. Haven't seen a January signing , with such impact, since.
We don't know what kind of spend our investors were prepared to lump into this season. How much of that have we swallowed up in fees and wages already?
Burns, Chaplin, Harness and Camara are all goal threats, albeit misfiring goal threats atm. Camara aside, who's just come into the side
I think there is a bit of panic setting in from the fan base, based on a few recent games.
I think , it might be easier to get our current players firing, than look for that needle in a haystack, goal scorer. That could end up a very expensive gamble.
What bothers me more, is our central midfield situation. We have literally no cover for Morsey and Humphrey's in DM positions.?
Another worry for me, is the spirit in the camp. After some disappointing results, and news of some serious injuries to key players. KM looked visibly down, imo, after Saturday's game. This will be the first real test for him, in terms of adversity, when expectations are high. I hope the fans can try to stay upbeat and give the squad a much needed lift.
Lot's of questions to be answered..
Could perhaps see us with a slight change in formation, 4-1-4-1. or 4-1-3-2 ? Being as we currently have more options in forward thinking midfielders, than defensive midfielders.
I'm not holding my breath, on some star signing in January..(Although that would be nice).Most likely a couple of loans, imo.. Coaching staff have got some work to do, to lift the lads and get them firing again. Despite the injuries, we've still got a lot of quality available on matchdays. More than most , in this division. If we can get the best from 3 or 4 of them, we'll be alright. You can't just bin players off, through lack of form. Especially when we've seen what they can do.
Time for some in the squad to take a look in the mirror, and stop hiding behind team mates.. There's half a dozen match winners out there , every match. When they're on it. |  | | |

If we're going to buy someone in January then we need to be looking at someone who can play in the Championship, so for me we go all out for JCH |  |

I sincerely hope we don’t rely on loans. Significant investment needed. We’ve been great in the transfer market. But one failure is the striker situation. Need better. | | | |

Why has nobody mentioned a midfielder on this thread? It's essential we strengthen there in January. |
Given we don't really rotate the centre midfielders, would we be recruiting a first teamer that's above Camara (and Evans if/when his knees get right) or a squad player? |  |
