Not a rumour! But I think we need 2/3 new faces, a striker and 2 defenders, I would love to see Benteke arrive as he looks an awesome talent plus would like to see a new centre half such as Dawson or Ogbonna and a right back as I'm not entirely convinced by Lowton (too inexperienced), a possibility could be Matthews from Celtic. Finally a cheeky punt for Ince or Phillips from Blackpool would provide the much needed chances for Bent and Benteke (hopefully).

You obviously haven't watched Lowton play for Villa, excellent first touch, gets up and down the pitch and has a fair turn of speed. This guy will turn out to be a good signing and he is certainly head and shoulders above a certain Scottish international. Benteke would be a good addition even though he is inexperienced at this level as are Ince & Phillips

I honestly don't understand why we aren't going in for Berbatov. Fulham are looking like favourites for him at the moment after he rejected both Juve and Fiorentina! Surely if we want to progress we have to be competing with the likes of Fulham, I know that Lerner is being tight on wages and what not, but we need another big player in a team of youngsters! He would get goals and assists for fun aswell! Realistically though we will buy the young lad from Chesterfield and that will be it for the rest of the window.

Berba seems to play for himself. He can score amazing goals and has fantastic skill but sometimes he is jusy lazy. WE ahve too many of these players at VP.

Perhaps the £5m a year pay deal was part of the reason we didn't go for Berbatov

Don't know much about Bennett and even less about Bowery but guess they in time will fit into PL's ethos and playing style.

The issue is that we do not have time on our hands, we're blooding wholesale youngsters into the team and boys v Men never see a consistent result for the former.

What we need and hope to god we get it is a catalyst, a big name that will ignite some positivity around the place, call it a quick fix if you like.

I know it's early doors but we are already playing catch up, our youngsters confidence is on the down side and we urgently need a pick up.

If we continue with our current run it will only get harder.

Randy splash the cash get a marque signing in and lets get behind Lamberts revolution !

Who do you think could be our catalyst ?

Dempsey?
