I think it will just be Onyeka in today, which will be a big boost but worried I've already got in my head we will suddenly go back to early season form and be dicking people again. Can't help but get hopes up as its been painful seeing the form fall.

He will help a lot in midfield, but if we keep telling everyone to charge forward when we’re 1-0 up, we’ll keep pissing points away.

This is on the manager though.

Until he can get in the players that suit the system he wants to play, he has to tailor the system to our players' strengths and weaknesses.

Dasilva's what he is; he's not going to grow or find pace, so you have to work within those confines. Asking a player to play in a way that exposes his weaknesses is on the manager, not the player.

It’s not really on the manager regarding Dasilva - he’s on contract and was a big signing at the time. He has tried to play the game high up the pitch to use Dasilva one attribute of close control and movement.

Living in Adelaide now means I'm watching a bit of A League soccer.

There's a 16 years old kid who plays for Sydney that got a couple of assists at the weekend, Akol Akon, he's gonna be a baller.

Get him in Doug (can play right wing).



Just seen this on rising ballers insta page

It’s clear we need support in the middle and Onyeka seems to fit the bill for helping us defensively.

Esse will add value to the team and while the jury is still out on Yang, at the very least he gives us depth.

However, can’t help but feel disappointed if that’s all we get in.

Biggest chance of promotion since relegation, massive re-build on the cards if we don’t go up, a squad of players we know can perform at a high level - but they need help and we’re at a bit of a make or break stage with results and performances.

One game changing headline signing could re-ignite fans and players - and help get us over the line at a time we really need it.

I am starting to lean towards it being a 6pm drawn out announcement for Onyeka and followed swiftly by "that concludes our business for this window"

Well we have just under 8 hours to ship Bidwell off and find a replacement in time including a medical. I don’t see how people think there is a chance we sign a left back.

Onyeka hopefully comes in and that’s business done.

Well that assumes things aren't underway already.

Adam Aznou may be available on a loan from Everton. Morocco international (3 caps) who came through the youth system at Barcelona & then Bayern Munich. Everton spent €9m on him in the summer but hasn't really had any game time. Ajax are rumored to be interested but then they've just signed Zinchenko & Everton may prefer an English loan to help acclimatize him. He's probably more of an attacking LWB though.

Nothing on the offish site or any newsfeed anywhere. Are we sure we’ve signed him at all? We need to be having more movement in and out too really
Nobody has said its been made official? But Fabrizio Romano who has 26m followers has said its done as have other reputable journalists.

Its rare we ever announce an A list signing before 6pm isn't it? I'm not expecting anything different with this one.
I imagine the deal is as good as done, there’s just all kinds of social media stuff that needs to be shot and turned around before the announcement is made.

I can't see us signing anyone but Frank at this stage with there having been no other links anywhere.

I know Joanoah came out of nowhere but on deadline day I expect there are to many moving parts for leaks not to appear.
