[WBA-Josh]

For CH cover I would sign Gary Cahill on a free. The issue if we wait we lose the player and his transfer fee vanishes - just like Chadli. We have let 10 players go already - time to fill a few gaps. We all know what we need Dowling needs to earn his salary or jog on.

I still think the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga is the route to go with signings.

For example:

CB - Felix Uduokhai - Wolfsburg - Dawson or Hegazi replacement  

LB - Maximilian Wittek - Greuther Fürth - Gibbs replacement

LM - Marvin Mehlem - Darmstadt (he’s a number 10 but makes more impact on the left wing where he has more space to play)

AM - Nikola Dovedan - Heidenheim

ST - Josip Drmic - Borussia Mönchengladbach - Gayle replacement

Johnstone
New RB - Cahill - Uduokhai - Wittek
Livermore
Harper - Dovedan
Phillips - Drmic - Mehlem

All depends on who we appoint though. Labbadia could look at the above players, Hughton probably not.
