Wow. Bloom wasn't kidding, was he, about strengthening? That's an excellent signing. The standard of player recruitment has gone through the roof this season. I know Hughton's done an excellent job, but the players he's had to work with compared to last year can't half have made that job easier than it might otherwise have been.

20 mm taller than Baldock.

Baldock would need a spiky haircut to compete.

I don't think we need another defender as we have Ridgewell for 6 weeks, Bong is back in 3 weeks or so, with Hunemeier and Rosenior back within 6.

Striker needed, clearly.
Another winger, maybe.
Another CM, maybe.

Fair point but assuming that the remaining defenders stay fit.
What do we do ,God forbid, if Bruno got hurt? Or Kayal /Stephens.

A great signing all we need is a striker, versatile defender (a la Rosenior) and possibly attacking midfielder depending on how Towell progresses. Personally if I could get an experienced left back as cover for Bong at the same wages as Chicksen i would out him and get one in as we are all assuming Bong LR recovery will not suffer any setbacks or recurrence. Surely we cant get caight out again.

Well Bong is back soon, freeing Ridgewell or Goldson to cover Bruno until Rosenior is back. Calderon is way better on the right as well.

I don't entirely disagree, that perhaps another utility defender would be useful, and another central midfielder is possible, unless Towell is as good as we hope.

A striker is essential, and I hope another winger - perhaps the one from Arsenal on loan.
