I think we're in our best ever position to sign players at the moment due to our high league position! I think we should take advantage of it! I think if we're being fussy we need another keeper, RB, and AM to have a very good all round squad a long a new contract for Corky, so we don't lose any of our quality CM's. I think we should go for someone like Shaqiri, as he's available and would be perfect for us! I think we'll be okay for strikers as we'll have J Rod and Gallagher coming back. Gallagher soon apparantly. For RB I think Sam Byram who we were linked to in January would be perfect, and for keeper, I think someone young and up and coming would be good, not sure who though, any thoughts? Obviously need to get Alderverield and Bertrand on permanants too, wouldn't mind this oddenguard bloke too!
I see RK put out some feelers recently in a press conference to some Scouse bloke. I've heard he is poor at back passes when it matters in an England shirt and is prone to slipping over at key moments but aside from that (and the fact he is older than most buildings) he might just be the AM we need?

People keep cracking on about Sam Gallagher, what has he ever done apart from coming in when Lambert or JRod were injured. He is still learning and is not this star striker you seem to make out he is.
They said that about shearer.
I agree with Chris, we can't rely on Sam Gallagher or Jay Rod for that matter to resolve our striker issues for the rest of the campaign. It may be costly but if we can bring in a new striker or even better one on loan, then all being well and they settle quickly we can give Arsenal and Tottenham a real battle for the top end league positions as well as a serious cup run.

Jamesaint you had me thinking for about half a millisecond about your Gallagher/Shearer comparison. I take it that was a joke wasn't it. In no way shape or form could you liken one of the best forwards this country has ever seen with what is basically a young reserve fringe player.
I never said he was a star striker, I merely listed him as another striker option, who IMO has done very well when called upon, who I would like to see more of, I think he will become a star striker and I have heard the Gallagher/Shearer comparison before, Dave Merrington was talking about it on Radio Solent a while back
{Ed002's Note - The club mentioned he was close to a return. I am not aware of any loan and after and injury it might be too risky.}
