If we want to challenge for the league or hell probably even top 4 I can't help but feel that we need a CB and a CDM at LEAST. That's if we want to challenge for top 4 this year since obviously the league is gone.

Hererra has done a good job so far, but we'd benefit so much from a Matic or a Wanyama or a Dembele back there, not that we can get a player of that calibre right now but still. We also need a CB in January for sure because with Bailly out (as well as the AFCON) and Smalling looking inconsistent we're relying on Rojo, Blind and Jones which sooner or later will not work out.

I think we'd benefit from Naingolan though. Right now the midfield isn't the issue but he'd certainly help out defensively.
