I didn’t actually. You were talking about dead wood or, as others know them, our players.

Think it will all happen now, focus on game until yesterday. We must forget the start, we need another winger also at least.

yes we need centre half, and an upgrade ideally, however must say Bidwell has gone pretty well at CB in the 2 he’s played as a 5th choice option.

I think the easiest way to think of a transfer deal is to think about when you are buying / selling your house. Often for the deal to work you need various parts of the chain to be in place at the same time. It doesn’t matter if your part is agreed if further down the chain the seller loses their buyer.

Therefore we may already have everything agreed with our transfer target including with the selling club, but they might not sanction the deal until they have the player they want secured, and that can happen right the way through the chain ….

Woolfenden - depends on them buying Caceres (South American)

Hughes - they won’t sell (for sensible money) as can’t use it anyway

No other credible links at this stage for a upgrade ready to go CB.

also does anyone know a timeline for Lati? Played Bristol rovers friendly and not been seen since, party line was knock to knee…..

I still think we will. Although it helps not being in the cup anymore. They both played a half each again. That can’t be right.

Lati has been picked in the Jamaica squad so he can't be far off.

He’s not really been tested on either match to be honest.

I don’t think our match has any baring on the focus. Austin and King will be active anyway …

With the purchase of the arena out of the way I’m sure we will see progress this week

The club have never announced a new contract so if he’s right it’s ITK stuff. But the club didn’t announce an option either until Lampard mentioned it. They seem to be much stingier with contract info. Almost like they don’t care about my sticky thread at all

Agree re testing. But playing centre half lessens need for him to be exposed by pace. I’d be hoping we don’t see him there, but in an emergency could be handy as 5th choice.

Had this conversation on the way home last night, it would not surprise me if Lati leaves before Monday IF we do get another CB & end the window with 2 proper RB's. There were rumours of him being unhappy with game time in January and if we are to sign another CB I can't imagine him being playing 4th choice when our current 2 starting CB's are pretty much always available (baring another Kitchen red card)

Personally I would want 4 recognised CB's in the squad, but if MVE stays and someone comes in with 1.5 - 2 mill for Lati it wouldn't shock me if the club accepted and Bidwell/Perry were used as 4th & 5th choices at least until Jan.

I'd be pleased with a CB and a Forward. If we get that not sure.

Although I cant criticise Sir Bling too much after buying the stadium

-Upgrade Lati with Tyrese Asante (that’s your cover for RCB/RB)
-Bring in a LCB

Obviously it is easier said than done but that would be the ideal

TA would likely only be a couple mil tops and Big Dick Doug has been throwing big bids out for CBs already.

This is also on the assumption MVE gets sold too as TA and KKH would be enough cover for RB. Gives us some extra money for someone in attack maybe?

Problem is Kitching is a card attracting magnet Thomas will also pick upplenty of cards too. Kitching will be suspended by end of Nov. So we need cover.

I agree there is more value in the foreign market but can see why there's a good case for sometimes knowing what you are getting regarding players proven at this level, especially at CB.

Part of me thinks buying a £40m stadium has put an end to the transfer window but that would be foolish and Doug must have a plan
