I’ve advocated right back as well
But I thought the Palace game was Montoya’s best performance for us and Alzate seems to be able to slot in there (and everywhere else on this pitch) very nicely.
Now I'm not so sure
[Albion] Will we be buying anyone in January?

yes, that one is best filed alongside the "we're signing Zaha" threads

True, but it's still risk not having another recognised RB I would have thought. Could be we go back in for Bogle from Derby as they're not doing very well, wouldn't be surprised.
Just imagine if Montoya gets injured plus a couple of midfielders get injured/suspended. Yes Webster can play RB but it means not deploying your best players in their best positions.
Anyhoo Potter will have a plan in place as what he wants to do, so I guess we'll have to wait and see!
I think we have plenty enough for RB this season; Montoya, Alzate, Greyhound and plenty of others who could do a job in an emergency (AJ, Solly etc).
For me a striker should be 100% our priority. As mentioned here one injury to Maupay and we are back to relying on Murray holding it up Hughton style.

Personally I don’t think Murray will start for us in the league again, even if Maupay gets crocked.
We would probably go something like
Gross Trossard
Connolly
It’s only if Maupay and Connolly went down, Muzza would probably play. Even then I wouldn’t rule out Trossard being sent up top and Mooy, Ali J or March being put in behind.

Also a lot of other moving parts in the striker situation, possible, Mlakar recall, possible Tau work permit application
To me it would make sense to have another player in this position though. I think we're less able to rotate players for those 3 games in 7 days situations than some of our rivals. We've got the numbers, but not the numbers who Potter trusts to play. Our strikers do a lot of running.

Kamara, Andersson, Manquillo not yet ruled out.
Bamford ... although Leeds haven't started their traditional collapse as yet.

This is absolutely binary IMO - buy/loan a striker in or get relegated. Murray is finished and Maupay can’t play every match. Just having Maupay and Connolly would be a massive risk.

Yeah. Calvert-Lewin is the kind of striker we need, but even if he's not in Ancelotti's plans, this winter will come too soon

Do you think TB will go for a 'top' striker now in January? Is against what we've done before but he's a fan and can see the chances we're creating, just need a 5 years younger Murray to get a few more into the onion sack. I know we need other positions but losing Andone and Locadia has hit the plans for the first half of the season. Tony is not adverse to the odd calculated risk and this could be a good one.
Very few rumours seem to be around tho with 4 days to go to it opening.
My heart says yes, head says no.

Naylor tweeting and writing in The Athletic that we're 'keen to land' a Murray replacement from overseas during the January window. Wouldn't be too worried about specific rumours knowing how quiet we try to keep these things.............my guess is we'll get someone, and it'll be early in he window
