How quickly do you think we can transform this team, given our massive outlay in the Summer?
We rarely spend big in January, availability is usually thin on the ground then anyway, but the stories around Semenyo won't go away, so I think it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he could join in January.
I think we need him, I think it's the one thing missing from our attack, someone with that kind of pace, strength and directness, we've lost that with Mane and then Diaz. Regardless of our glaring holes elsewhere, I don't think it's an opportunity we can pass up.
That said, I don't think we can wait until the Summer to add a centre half. Gomez and Leoni are both crocked and that leaves us an inevitable Konate injury away from disaster.
I think it's essential that we add a CB sooner rather than later, though I guess a lot will hinge on how quickly Gomez and Leoni return, and as much as we need a DM, I can see the club holding off until the Summer on that one.
Despite our huge summer spend, we really could do with a big window, which could really propel us in the league and help us get a leg up for next season. It's pie in the sky probably, but if we signed Semenyo, a commanding midfielder and a centre back in January, it really would elevate us. I know this should have happened in the Summer, but I think we'll be thankful for the big summer spend further down the line, even if it didn't make logical sense at the time.
