So we’ve sorted the wheat from the chaff for you and the duds from the real window targets, as we explore every name linked with the Blues so far.
9. Matt Macey
The idea of Macey being prepared to vie with Will Norris for the number one shirt seemed a stretch a couple of weeks ago - but the Blues completed a deal for the former Luton and Arsenal man to be January's first arrival last Friday. Photo: Catherine Ivill
10. Myles Peart-Harris
Name surfaced last Friday and The News revealed on Saturday night Brentford's attacking talent is high up their list of January priorities. Forest Green and Chelsea links mean Rich Hughes and Jon Harley could be useful with Championship sides QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield also said to be keen. Photo: Alex Burstow
11. Lewis Wing
Pompey fans are eyeing the fire sale at Reading and seeing potential rich pickings, especially one who's scored against them this season and smashed home a 50-yard worldie at Fratton on the final day of last term. Wanted by Danny Cowley in the past and Blues looking for an attacking midfielder - has an eye for the spectacular, but would a bit more dynamism be sought? Photo: Jason Brown
12. Charlie Savage
Another name which has popped up because of Reading's financial issues. Said to be Championship, Stockport and Derby interest too - though Paul Warne has shot down the latter and no credibility on Pompey links, at this stage. Photo: Pete Norton
