What type of player we need in January?

Sessegnon is that player. You've missed him off. Plus Davies can play there.

Well Davies can be back up to Udogie too, and if Sessegnon is able to return from injury and stay fit long enough I guess he falls into that bracket. Would be interesting to see how a fit and uninjured Sessegnon does under Ange, if he's still wanted.

We should be looking at another forward or striker, whether that's this January or next summer with the intention of having more options and spending more. Richy has improved but I'm not prepared to hang my hat on him as our answer. Between Kulu and Johnson, performances on the RW are rather suspect and unreliable, especially Johnson.

that line up there shows me you have a top player in every position other than striker. your first choice striker IMO isnt an out and out striker.

Long term players we need to improve on

PEH
Forster
Skipp
Emerson
Sess
Lo Celco (cant rely on him due to injures)

In the summer we should look for LW, LB, ST, GK backup

Also, looking at that, it makes you wonder why we're in for Gallagher. I think there are weaker areas of depth (or lack of) in the squad that need looking at first.

I think it's flawed though because although it looks like we only have Richy and Veliz up top, we don't. Son plays there too. So many of these lads fit in multiple positions and I guess that's what Ange wants. Fluid positions. Nothing tied down.

A true striker might cost us most our window budget. Be interesting to see if Ange cam identify an affordable 9

I'd prefer a QB style CM with quick feet.
