Hjalmar Ekdal (Burnley CB)

s on the verge of being loaned out from Burnley in January. QPR, Stoke, Middlesbrough, and Glasgow Rangers are in talks about a deal. Additionally, Groningen, Empoli, Sampdoria, and Brescia have made contact regarding a loan
 
Fry
Edmondson
Rav
Clarke
Dijksteel at a push

Plus 2 to (maybe?) come back, who can play there.
Lenihan
Smith

Seems daft, unless we know Lenihan is done and Clarke is leaving.
 
Did anyone watch today.
Edmundson and Clarke are nowhere near the standard we need to get out of this division.
Fry and RVB possibly good enough
Lenihan obviously finished at this level (harsh but true)
So at least 2 center backs required
 
One or more CBs must be on the move. Clarke and maybe Rav..

I'd say a goal keeper is an absolute priority. Also a CM and CF if Morris and Conway are mid to long-term injuries. We can't persist with Bergzorg as a CF. He's simply not a No9.
 
We need
A GK if Dieng is leaving (looks likely)
A CB if Clarke is leaving (unknown)
A defensive midfielder to cover Morris
An out and out left winger
An out and out right winger (more important if Doak goes)
A striker (if LL goes)

Sell Barlaser, McCabe can be Hackney’s back up. Put Hamilton into the U21s.

This summer we could need a massive number of players in.

Dieng, Smith, Lenihan, Clarke, Edmundson, Howson, Barlaser, Doak could all need replacing. Van Den Burg, Hackney, Latte Lath could all attract big bids.

Not outside the realms of possibility that by the end of August window we need 11 replacements just to stay where we are. I’d look to get that process started in this window
