4 players needed this month IMO.

1. Left Back, berardi is good but as we saw at the weekend, when required needs to fill in on the right, we need an out and out, stephen ward at burnley could be an option, been promoted before, contract expires in the summer, taylor starting perform might mean that he makes way for us.

2. a holding midfielder. The more i see him, the less i like him. okane is a player that seemingly is going unnoticed, and without him in the side our record isn't great, and seemingly vieira is the better player. Having vieira and phillips as our starting 2 holding midfielders i think this is strong, and if klich was first choice i'd be happy too, but he's not so we need to change this. Again charlie adam comes to mind and is available in the summer, so worth a punt IMO.

3. A left winger - Jese from stoke would be a steal, again a free agent in the summer, big wages but well worth the money and exactly something we need. Would be on another level with the likes of saiz hernandez and alioski.

4. Finally, Chris wood. if we kept woody in this team i'd say top 2 should be expected, however we didnt, we took the money and now need to reinvest it as i don't think we have yet, i'd have said we have another 8-10 million of it left after summer. and that's a decent amount to get a good foreign player.

Or alternatively i think a raid on newcastle would do us some good. Sign Ayoze perez, mitrovic, and colback, and that'd be me happy for business, but it won't work like that and i can't see all 3 dropping down. Who knows? What do we need?

Are you referring to Jesé that came through the age groups at Real Madrid and then was sold to PSG and sent to stoke to get game time this season? I hope you aren't actually thinking that is a realistic option

6 months left on his stoke contract, why not agree to sign him in the summer? Can probably afford wages on loan.

Jese is on loan from PSG. In 6 months when his Stoke contract expires he will be returning to PSG. As far as i'm aware he is reported to be earning over £100k a week with Stoke paying a percentage of this. In the same way we do with Lasogga. If PSG do not rate/ want him. they will cash in. He will still go to a top team in european competition probably back to Spain and still probably earn close to what he does now. I believe all of these points effectively rule us out of signing Jese lol.

I agree dynamo someone like Jesé who could be playing for a club competing in European competetition would never drop to championship level.
