According to today's Sun we're after Crystal Palace's 19-year-old winger Wilfried Zaha, who can play on either flank.
You do wonder if we're picking up so many injuries because the side is getting on a bit. Apart from youngsters Tomkins, Reid, Collison and Baldock, the side is full of players approaching or over 30, such as Diop, Taylor, Nolan, Faye, Carew, Demel, McCartney and Piquionne.
Even Cole and Faubert are both now 28. Older players are bound to pick up more knocks and a little youthful resilience and energy would surely help.
It might also be a moment to give 21-year-old Freddie Sears a game, as at least he runs around a lot and was one of our best players in his last appearance against Bristol City.

A ready-made chant too - "knowing me, knowing you, Zaha....!" I think he would be a fantastic signing, we need more width, more speed, and more and better crosses to Cole, Carew & Piq....
Doh! He's just signed a new contract....Wonder if Stanley Matthews is available?
