Agree with this OG not afraid of using our youngsters if he thinks they are good enough Ince looks a good prospect and remember from Saturday 5/6 1st team players out injured Bruno, Bridders, Orlandi, Barnes, CMS!
No one should wish Raheem Stirling on the Albion. From first hand knowledge, he's very dim, has twice been alleged to have beaten up his girlfriend and refuses to train properly. Physically he isnt strong enough. He would be a nightmare to manage.

Someone to play off of Leo who is quick, agile and can get on the end of knock downs and run the channels on the edge of the area. How about Craig Mackail Smith?

Zaha on loan from Man U, play him down the middle, ok I'm joking.
A striker is a must and a right back other than that I'm happy.

We don't need anyone.
RB we have Calde and Bruno. Striker, we have Ulloa and Barnes with CMS due back in the not too distant future.
Plenty of central players.
Just because we have injuries now doesn't mean we should go out and sign a loan player.
For anyone of sufficient quality they will more than likely demand game time, which will inhibit our own players development.
We must make do with our squad is it is. When injuries disappear a bit we have a very strong eleven and a decent bench.
Kusz, Ward, Upson, Greer, Bruno, Bridcutt, Agustien, Crofts, Buckley, Barnes, Ulloa.
Bench: Brez, Calde, el-abd, Andrews, Orlandi, Kaz and CMS.
Plus Ince, March, Chicksen etc pushing the others.
I'm happy with that squad and happy to accept we are just unlucky with injuries.

Friend of mine who lives in Leicester says we are going to sign Richie Wellens who has apparently cancelled his short term contract with Doncaster.
Not a bad option to give us a bit of added drive in midfield and from what we have (perhaps surprisingly) seen so far he seems to fit the profile of the type of player OG is happy that we sign.
Certainly seems to me that our head coach has a clear vision of the type of player who could get us challenging consistently over the course of a Championship season......... good hardworking pros who can sustain fast one and two touch passing football over 90+ minutes and wont be muscled out of the game.
If we are thereabouts in the spring we might see an injection of latin style flair but with winter coming I'm not sure he isnt right tb
edit/clarification: any deal for Wellens is speculation as far as I know - not "insider" knowledge

This. My slightly facetious post about a player like CMS was pretty much saying the same. Even with Wayne Bridge gone, we have a stronger squad now than at the end of last season. Any new first team player will cost at least 500k a year in wages without even taking transfer and signing on fees into account. That's around £20 (+VAT) on every season ticket and £1 per game on a match ticket.

Purely stealing other people's suggestions in this thread - Ross McCormack and Billy Sharp.
And Matthew Taylor, if he hasn't gone to Leeds

Agreed. So 6-month loan maybe?

Hmmm... so what would we have done if Ulloa was injured Sat? You sound a bit naive TBH.

No it isn't. At the moment we have spare playing budget, so you are wrong to imply an automatic ticket price hike.
I'd take sister, mother or granny over most of the names here, that'll be demanding a 10k+ weekly wage.

In case you didn't notice we cleared a lot of deadwood out of our squad this summer, including the 'value-for-money' flair king that is Vicente. Believe me, we have some spare wages money IF, as PB says, we have a similar budget to last season.
Doesn't mean it should be wasted on over hyped, over paid, under skilled, no marks.
I'd much prefer the money (if there is any) to go on someone, young, with a point to prove, or keen to make a name for himself in England.
