He was completely owned at Ashton Gate, before our team went on holiday after winning promotion.
Stupid question! Yes, I do know.
If they'd had better players, they would not have got relegated. Kane is a much better player. May not have saved them, but would have made a hell of a difference - they'd certainly have had a chance.
Out of our reach I’m afraid.
We’ve also got at least 4 better wingers than him already.

The idea That Abraham is crap in the Premier League but great in the Championship seems a bit daft to me.
He's young, improved. And the last time he played in the top flight it was in a shit team. He would be amazing for us IMO.

I'd be very surprised if we sign a winger.
There is a case for a attacking more central midfield signing, but I think a young fullback is much more likely.
We have 6 fullbacks in the squad - but 3 or 4 of them could be gone by next season.
Of course, if a player we want suddenly becomes available it could be in any position.

Absolutely this. The idea he can’t cut it in the prem because he struggled in a crap team at 19/20 years old is nonsense. And he’s clearly improved this year. I still think he’s perfect for us - able to lead the line but also quick. But I suspect he’ll end up on a higher wage than we’ll be willing to pay.
And for those saying Solanke is rubbish - have a look at the list of World Cup U20 golden boot winners - not many rubbish players have won that. Always amazed that people don’t get that young players take time to build consistency (thankfully CH does)
The bottom line is not only have I heard of him I've actually seen him play TWICE.
My booing alone would sound like 30,000 people.

Have you never thought that no one at all is much more likely? Chris Hughton has already said as much. We have been warned!

Yes, highly possible.
On the other hand, Hughton has said that before in previous Januarys, and it didn't match what happened in the end.

I don't think we need to add to the 1st team but sometimes a potential future target may become available.

I agree, not bothered for any business this month, but happy to take on a prospect or two.

If we are moving to 4-3-3 (and going to keep doing that) then the need for a back-up no.10 is greatly reduced - we pretty much have five players to cover three positions. A sixth obviously wouldn't go amiss, but I don't see that as an immediate and urgent need which needs to be settled right now.
Kind of agree but flexibility to switch to 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2 from 4-3-3 would be a great advantage...

I'm not the sort of fan who is constantly saying we need to spend money on loads of expensive players, but it does strike me that it's better to buy from a position of strength. We're nicely mid table. At the end of the season we'll be just one of dozen clubs that could go down. I'd say now is better than the summer.
It would appear better for CH too as he'll have no pressure to play the newbies.

#Left Back cover required going forward.
Bong out of contract in summer?
Suttner no where to be seen.

Would be quite happy offering Bong an extension or new contract - Bernardo may be the way ahead for now, but Bong is quite acceptable cover (if he's willing to sign, of course).
