GARY ROWETT has claimed that Millwall have started to nail down some specific targets ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.
The Lions boss had previously told NewsAtDen that he would use the World Cup break to start planning out the club’s business, with a number of meetings scheduled to take place while the first-team squad were given a week off after a strenuous start to the Championship campaign.
While Rowett refused to specify a particular area of the pitch that would like to strengthen in, he did highlight the fact that any manager would be keen to add more goals to the team, adding to the speculation from supporters that Millwall are keen on recruiting a striker and a winger ahead of the second half of the season.
It remains to be seen what stage the club’s preparations for the transfer window are at, although when asked whether he was looking at preliminary ideas or finalised targets, Rowett told NewsAtDen: “I think it’s a little bit of both.”
“We’ve certainly had a bit more time to look at some of the targets, we’ve had a little bit more time to sift through the players that have been recommended by our recruitment department.
“Again, everything is pretty fluid at this time of the season, but nevertheless we need to start breaking down those lists into more isolated targets. We’ve got those as well.
“It’s pretty positive. It’s nice to be able to do that without competitive games in the way, the preparation, it’s a bit more of a relaxed time where you can spend more time doing it. We’ve been pretty productive.”
