He is really in form at the moment, but stmichael has a point, he is at his best only when he plays for the German national team. He would have stayed in Bayern Munich if he could perform like he does in international games.

No doubt in my mind that we'll be looking for another CM with Lucas going down to such a bad injury and with Stevie's lack of fitness.  We need at least 1 good reliable CM.

amazing how him and klose have always done a million times better for germany than they ever have at club level. is podolski's contract up in the summer?

Podolski is banging in goals for one of the clubs in the bottom half of the german league.

I dont think we should go for anyone in january as its a terrible time to buy players. We should wait until summer when we have more options for a better price.

saw a report today linking us with junior hoilett from blackburn. i like the player and he'd be ideal for the right hand side.

Nice little player who would be an ideal impact sub.  I'm not knocking him at all in saying that I think that's what his role could be, It's just IMO that would be the best role for him.

If he didnt play for Newcastle, Cabaye would have been a good player to look at.

I still think we need a cb because Carra is soon to be done and makes too many mistakes when he does play, and we don't really have a solid backup for Skrtel or Agger.  I'd normally say wait until the summer, but because Gary Cahill's contract is up in the summer Bolton won't be able to ask too much for him because they have no leverage (Like Blackpool did with Adam, waiting til the summer and getting the price we offered in January).  I imagine a couple clubs may be in for him, but there's no reason we can't get him.

Come on mate, Carra ain't that bad, he's still good enough for the bench for this and even next season. We also have Coates and even Kelly is actually a CB. We're good in defense for now. If we do buy players this transfer window (which I doubt) it will probably be a striker and/or a midfield.

Persuade Chelsea to take Carroll off our hands and take the out of favour Torres back in a swap deal. I would be very happy with that transfer.

andy carroll has time from now till the end of the january window to prove that he's the (at the very least) 10+ goalscorer that everybody is expectiing him to be. if not, then we really need to get someone who fits in with our system and someone who preferably is an able finisher.

i dont think we really need a poacher in the classic sense, (that'd be nice tho) but i'd be happy to see anyone come here in january who knows how to properly kick a ball into the damned net. unfinished chances have been the difference between 1 and 3 points too many times this season.

there are only two games i can think of this season where we were comprehensively beaten or at least deserved a draw, and that was spuds and stoke.

all those other games should have gone our way.
