The word is he wants to leave. It would be stupid not to test the situation. Even if we failed in January it might help if we went back in for him in the summer. Players like it when a club shows persistence for their signature.

He asked to leave under the previous manager. Unsure if he still wants out. A PL club would attract him I'm sure.
We cannot afford him.

How good is Harrison Reed?

He seems a bit like a jack of all trades like Allen, albeit at a much higher level. Has played DM, CM and AM at Fulham over the years.

He's always looked good to me.

I know most don't like him but Luke O Nien can cover multiple positions and is a horrible do anything to win player. Honestly id take him and go get another attacking option. We then have enough cover and will finish where we are supposed to finish after 20 games.

Send Perry out on loan and see if we can move on Brau.

That really does depend on the player we are splashing £5m on.

So using FotMob our top six players on overall ratings for the season are.

Torp
BTA
Grimes
Thomas
Kitching
EMC

All these players were signed for under £5m. There are good players out there for a certain budget. Regardless the £15m suggested is something we will never spend at this level.

We can offer PL wages on promotion and it’s a serious likelihood unlike every other season.

If you look at our team which in 2/3 weeks will be fully available unless we suffer any more suspensions or injuries

Starting 11
GK - Rushworth
RB - van Ewijk
CB - Thomas
CB - Kitching
LB - Dasilva
DM - Grimes
DM - Torp
RW - Esse
AM - Thomas-Asante
LW - Mason-Clarke
ST - Simms

Bench
GK - Wilson/Dovin
CB - Woolfie
RB - Kesler-Hayden
CM - Eccles
CM - Allen
RW - Sakamoto
AM - Rudoni
LW - Min-Hyeok
ST - Wright

leaving still not in the squad:
Latibeaudiere, Bidwell, Brau and Andrews

To me we need a CM, everywhere else in a fully fit squad we look good, if we bring in another LB where do they fit in? To me they dont as KKH can play there, so a CM that can play 6/8 would be perfect

Clearly didnt read it properly, I said in 2/3 weeks we should have everyone back, unless there is any other injuries or suspensions…
Thats also where the reserves come in which if we brought in a CM we have extra players like Allen, Lati, Andrews, Bidwell and Brau…

Did you see the penalty that was given? So soft! If it had been us we would have needed 3 opposition players dragging our player down and sitting on our player before the ref think it might be a penalty

No guarantees on him being as good as he was last season, we should recall Collins, he’s been one of the best keepers in League One

It also tells people we have 15m to waft around and then prices are bumped up everywhere else we look!

Is Bashir Humphreys a realistic shout? Not got much game time for Burnley this season, albeit started their last 4 PL games (unsure whether this has been driven by injuries/AFCON absences). Plays LB or CB.

No they don’t.

Football is mainly a kids making business.

Clubs spend more than their income but not more than they can service. A bit like most people do with a mortgage:

Clubs that get into trouble are those that normally make lincone assumotions they can’t sustain or guarantee.

Overspending now on the assumption we can afford it if we get promoted is exactly the sort of decision we need to avoid.

Was chatting to the owner of our local kebab house last night. Mad Beşiktaş fan. He was saying he’s hearing from back home in Turkey that they’re expecting to lose Tammy Abraham to Villa. If that happens, he reckons the word from Beşiktaş fans is that they will move for Haji Wright as the replacement, possibly this week. I thought it was all fan talk, but I see on Sky that Abrahams is in fact linked with Villa this morning, and he has left the Beşiktaş training camp.
