We're only a couple of weeks away before the January Transfer Window opens and clubs will start signing players they think will get them to where they want to be come May - but what would the dream scenario for Fulham be?

Everyone has their opinions, and after the summer window, where eleven new faces were added to the side but with little impact of team selection, and the whole Craig Kline debacle that saw him leave the club , there's sure to be some strong ones over the next month.

Slavisa Jokanovic thinks the side need to strengthen - his current analogy of if even Manchester United and City need to then every one does is testament to that - while most of the fans are unanimous in that a new striker needs to be signed.

With just under three weeks to go until the window opens, we've taken a look at what the dream scenarios would be for Fulham in January.

A new striker is signed

This one is pretty obvious in my books, with the recent games highlighting the fact more obviously than ever.

Rui Fonte and Aboubakar Kamara were signed in the summer as the striking options but neither have filled the criteria that Fulham are crying out for - Fonte has struggled while Kamara shows signs of his raw potential, but it's clear he isn't ready to lead a promotion chasing line.

In an ideal world, a goal scoring forward would be signed by Fulham in January, one that doesn't need time to settle and can hit the ground running.

The club wanted to sign Dwight Gayle in the summer as a "bonus" signing, but now, in January, this "bonus" must be a priority and someone like Gayle would still be perfect.

The problem with Gayle is he's now playing and scoring for Newcastle, so it looks unlikely to happen, but someone of the same mould as the 27-year-old is a must.

Fulham bolster the defence with a centre back

A centre back was high on Jokanovic's list of positions the club needed to add depth to in the summer, and despite the arrival of Marcelo Djalo, they didn't really do that.

An ideal January would see the arrival of a new centre back, one that can depth to the side and could challenge Tomas Kalas and Tim Ream for a regular starting place in the heart of defence.

Despite doing well when called on, Denis Odoi isn't the answer to the centre back problem if one of the two regulars get injured, and with Djalo playing a few more minutes in recent weeks as a sub, it's clear that Michael Madl isn't favoured by Jokanovic any longer.

A strong, ball winning and fast defender would certainly add strength to Jokanovic's side and allow them to progress in the second half of the season.

Ryan Sessegnon ignores transfer talk and stays

There's been a lot of reports linking Sessegnon to Tottenham and Manchester United in recent weeks, like there were over the summer too, and an ideal January would be for none of it to happen.

The 17-year-old signed his first professional deal in the summer and has played regularly for the club this season at left back, but it's further forward where he's looked better.

Obviously, he has a long way to go before he's the finished article, but keeping someone of Sessegnon's ability at the club, and playing him further forward, would certainly be a good January.

That leads onto...

A new left back!

So, Rafa Soares arrived on loan in the summer amidst huge expectation, despite being injured.

Since then, he's made two appearances in the league, both as subs, for a combined total minutes of 50.

I think it's fair to say it isn't quite working out for him, and if you've been able to see him play in the U23s you'd notice he isn't the speediest of left backs - meaning it takes him a while to get up and down the flanks in the way Fulham like playing.

It's come to the stage where Jokanovic will rather play Sessegnon, who he knows is better further forward, at left back or he will play Odoi, if circumstance allows it.

A new left back that offers the same on the left as Ryan Fredericks offers down the right will only help Fulham, allowing the side to attack down both flanks like they do down the right, as well as freeing up Sessegnon to play a more attacking role.
