Andy Carroll linked.

Not sure if there is any truth or paper talk as he was previously managed by Allardyce. Would be a risk given his injury record, but would certainly give us a plan B. I actually watched Newcastle beat West Ham in the 1st game of the season and Carroll started that game and played well, so was surprised he was subsequently dropped. I wouldn't be opposed to it on loan as he's a lot different to what we have and could be a good foil for Grant if we went 2 up top.

If only there was a Plan A

I think plan A was selecting one of the 5 left wingers that Bilic brought to the club up top...

Andy Carroll would be a massive thumbs up from me, always been a fan.
Obviously injury prone but I'd take the gamble.

Derby County boss Wayne Rooney wants to make former Manchester United and England team-mate Phil Jones, 28, his first signing, although the Rams could face competition from West Brom and Burnley. (Metro)

WHO PREDICTS 2 OR MORE PLAYERS TO BE BROUGHT IN.

I SAY TWO

I SAY TWO

Given the financials (or lack of them) it all depends if we can ship anyone and how the loan market looks.

Looking at what we need, I think a right back and defensive midfielder are paramount. But Allardyce might also look for a left back, better centre half, striker who can head the ball. I mean we're really short in Premier league quality across the board if we are completely honest.

Personally think we will sign at least 1. But could be anywhere between 1-4, if we're able to ship some deadwood. 2 probably is a realistic prediction.

For me it’s 3 one will be a new captain and driving force. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Figured me out!

But i'm going to go with 2, despite a need for more!

I'm in for a trio coming in and if anyone leaves additions possible.
A full back, Midfield monster and a striker - all guys with attitude.
If Sam gets the right guys in, don't bank on us getting relegated.
