Will there be any more signings after Seb Larsson?

The transfer window seems to be ticking along fairly nicely for Newcastle after it emerged that the club are in talks with Birmingham midfielder Seb Larsson over a proposed move to St James' Park.

This potential move would of course add to the signature of Hatem Ben Arfa that we have already secured this window.

If we could get Larsson through the door aswell it would be pretty good, but would there be any room for any more signings during this transfer window?

Alan Pardew said the other day that he expected to get "one, maybe two, new faces" through the door, which could be taken either way I suppose. I hope Pardew gets another two through the door to be honest, but the question is just who that additional face could be?

Talk is still emanating from France suggesting that the club are interested in signing the French/Moroccan forward, Youssef El-Arabi. A fee of around £4 million has been mentioned, and with the forward having a fairly decent goalscoring record and a decent assist rate you could perhaps see the merits of looking at the 23-year-old.

Talk of Karim Ziani seems to have subsided though after his club distanced themselves from rumours suggesting that the player had agreed a move to Newcastle. I guess that one can pretty much be ruled out.

Anyway, I'm getting a bit off track here. I'd like to know where you would strengthen the team?

I like the look of that El-Arabi to be honest. He looks like he knows where the back of the net is and can cause trouble. Of course, it is the French league that he is currently looking good in, but perhaps he could do a job over here?

I'm not trumpeting the signing of the lad as, quite frankly, I have no idea whether or not we are actually after him. I do like the idea of us being linked with players like him though. He looks like the kind of player that can play in and around Andy Carroll, and that is where I would like us to strengthen this window if we are to get any more signings other than Ben Arfa, and potentially Larsson, through the door.

So come on then, where would you strengthen the team?
