At this point we need proven Prem league performers to bolster the squad, IMO it would be a mistake to sign a couple of untried players from around the world who might not settle in straight away.
Not the best but Ashley Young could be worth a punt for the right price, as for a surprise shot what about Varney who I believe is on loan to Blackpool? He has started the season very well and has scored or created goals in several games this year, if he can do that for Blackpool perhaps he could do it for us?
