Think O’Hare would be a great signing in the number 10 position, even though Chubs has been fantastic. Archer would also be a great short-term signing would have a solid option up front if Chuba is in behind. Personally I wouldn’t recall Coburn, he’s been great out on loan so I wouldn’t want to disrupt his progress at Bristol. A full season in league 1 would benefit him, can see an England U21/U20 call up for him at some point this season

I think Mcgree will start wide left after the window. we might bring in a sub/rotation option, but the way we play, with Giles bombing on, we need mcgree (or the left mdifelder) to drift inside, something he does very well and looks dangerous doing. I could see a more long term option at RB brought in, like that Drameh at Leeds that's been mentioned, over smith.

Also think we will see a long term Howson replacement arrive to allow him to bed in rest of this season. I'd only like to see us bring a striker in if its a permanent signing, not another loan signing that will mean more upheaval in the summer.

Same with these Man Utd loans, if we are signing them with the view to keeping the following season, like we did with Big Ken and kalas back in the karanka days id be open to it, but not if it is here for 6 months and we then need to repeat the same thing ad infinitum.......
