January Transfer Window

[washsaint]

I'm pretty sure there's already a thread for this but I can't be arsed finding it.  As the window opens in a month, here would be my wish list:

OUTS
Aribo
Edozie
Matsuki (loan as hes so far down the pecking order)
Archer
Sesay (loan)
Downs (loan)


INS
Striker

Realistically I'm not sure we need any more added to an already big squad and we should be saving the pennies for next summer depending on what division we'll be in.  I know many would argue we need a GK but the club rates Bazunu and we may have Ramsdale back in the summer.
 

At GK we have Bazunu and McCarthy
At RWB/RB we have Mads, Jelert, Fellows
At LWB/LB we have Manning and Wellington
AT CB we have Quarshie, Stephens, THB, Wood. Edwards
CM we have Charles, Downes, Bragg, Jander, Romeu (with Williams possibly in the mix)
Attackers/wingers we have Armstrong, Azaz, Scienza, Robinson, Fraser

That, on paper, is a really strong squad and should be a match for anyone.  The only gap is an out and out striker.

A striker and goalkeeper are the only sensible ins. Outs there are several players who dont seem to be involved and Downs who isnt a footballer

Think there has been rumours that Jelert would go back in January?

I actually want to see if Archer could play like Armstrong in the new setup, I always thought he would be better with better tactics and playing like we are now

Sorry but Archer couldn't play the same role as Armstrong as he has a poor first touch , he's never shown the ability to pass first time the way Arma does and he'll never track back and tackle and hustle like Arma either. 

Archer is basically a non footballing striker similar to Downs but just a little better and on his day an excellent finisher.

I'm not sure he's got it in his game to drop deep and link up play like Armstrong is doing at the moment but I'd like to see how he fares in the team, mainly because we're creating really good chances and he's still our best finisher.  Reckon he'd probably thrive on some of the balls Scienza, Azaz and Fellows are delivering.  That said, would be nice to finally get that physical presence we all thought Downs was going to be as well.

We should go for this keeper:

Dayne St. Clair - Wikipedia

Contract apparently expires at the end of December

Is he any good with crosses?

That bit of info is doing the rounds.

Believe he may be a bit injury prone

He's already a Saint.
