They wouldn't have done so well if we were chasing a game though. Hopefully we can get to the 31st without injuries to or loss of form to Dunk/Greer/LuaLua/March as we have no quality back up.

Is the right answer.

Must be 1 or 2 singings this week I reckon.
Tex ( loan ) + a surprise winger would be excellent.
( And keep Dunk for at least 2-3 more weeks if we really have to sell him ).

22 days to get the 5 singings in.
Unless we want a GLUT on transfer deadline day, they have to start happening - rapidly and soon.

Lingard and Bennett in by the end of the week would send me into a meltdown of joy

LIngard would cover so many holes and is quality. For a couple of million he would be a bargain.
Can play wide in a 4, in a front 3 and even as a striker.

Yep - He's exactly the sort of versatile player we should go for. Can play either wing or up front off the striker - even more suited than Tex in terms of positions...

And wing back. I wasn't a huge fan of Lingard when he was here before, but I'd be happy to see him sign permanently, especially for £2.5m.
Preferred Tex by some distance personally

Agreed, but Lingard is far more versatile and could play in any formation we go with, I am not sure Tex could play in a 442
It not a REAL 442 though, and Tex can absolutely play in a 4411

Tex was better for us but I would get linguard for £2.5 but he is more likely to go to a bigger club.

It looked a lot like a proper 442 to me on Friday largely, i know we wont do that all the time however.
Lingard can also play that role in a 4411. I rate Tex highly, just feel Lingard offers more versatility and does not lack in quality either.

Don't wait for me!
Tex isn't coming as Harper wasn't bought to play in the DS. We need wingers, a striker (possibly, depending how good the wingers are) and a CB (just the one hopefully). We don't need to buy a no.10.

This.
It was mentioned he would play a couple of games to get up to speed in the DS. He is a first team squad player, not a DS player.
I'm still halfway in this. We don't need to BUY a number 10 but we could certainly do with a loan while Harper gets fit and up to speed. His progression will be injury recovery, match fitness in DS, bench, 1st team. Don't understand why people pretend different. We're not rushing an experienced pro like Zamora back in, why would we do it with an injured teenager??
