What we do need is.
A goalkeeper, as we did in the summer. Someone to come in and challenge/replace Hart in the second half of the season.
A left back, as we did in the summer, who can overlap and deliver good passes/crosses into the box. This will also improve Palma.
A more defensive minded midfielder, but one who can pass the ball forward to start attacks.
A right winger, assuming Abada will be leaving either this month or in the summer.
Another striker, even If just to cover for the Asia Cup
Basically we need what the manager asked for in the summer. Players who’ll challenge for first team starts from the beginning and the addition of some physicality, power and pace.
We also need a clear out of about a dozen players starting in January and certainly by the summer.
Siegrist, Bernabei, Philips, Kobayashi, Lagerbielke, McCarthy, Kwon, Tilio and Turnbull can all go in January with the likes of Ralston, Welsh, Nawrocki, Bernardo, Iwata, Oh, MJ and Yang playing for their futures until the summer
