Godden is definitely more suited to the lone striker role than Walker.

But Walker is more suited to the loan striker role than Godden.

I quite like Walker but don't think he can play as a lone striker. He's not good at holding onto the ball. He is a good finisher though and is an immeasurably better option alongside Gyokeres than Waghorn.

That's fair. In his recent appearances, I thought he looked quite a bit bulkier (and slower because of it) and won a lot of flick on's.

Would like him to get a proper good run out in the team, but can't see it now unfortunately

I don't think the calling out of a player last week automatically means that player is the one who is leaving. The one who is leaving is whoever has elicited interest from another club.

TBF, Gyokeres has received interest from other clubs but is 'apparently' staying.

I’m hoping another signing is announced today, as two kids on either flank aren’t going to necessarily invigorate and shore up a limping squad.

Never thought Walker was any good and still don't.
Looks like it's a general thought hence why we're stuck with him

Before the O'Hare and Fadz injury, we we're 2 decent wing backs away from being one of the best sides in the division.

Not in squad and looking likely to move on in the next few days.

I’m aware of that. However, I was hoping we’d have signed a CB as we have Burnley?

Think he will end up with Bidwell plus the loanees and have a reset in the summer and barring any more injuries at CB including rose we will get through midtable which will be classed ok by king.

How would a signing today help v Burnley? A player has to be registered with the FA by 12 noon the day before a match to play.

Also players have stuff to sort out and no chance of training with squad. No way would they play even if registered.

Our whole season doesnt hinge on away at Burnley. It is one we would expect to lose anyway. Its more important we get the right deals rather than just get a body in.

Well done to the club so far.

What's good business about it? The fact the club's finances appear so perilous that we weaken our already wafer thin squad ahead of a match against the league leaders. It's embarrassing really, we can't be that desperate surely that we couldn't hold them off until a replacement is agreed?

Did I say the season hinged on Burnley away?
However by your logic, a defeat is permissible; wouldn’t you rather us turn up and get a result with a more solid back line?

A CB should have been wrapped up this week, it’s a priority.

I wonder if they’ve been trying? Nah you’re probably right you and grendel it’s all about reducing wages rather than improving the squad ffs

You speak as if you just knock on the door of your rivals and take the prize player. Grendel convinced we are trying to reduce wages and had to in order to raise money for any loans, he might be right but could we wait and see

Moot point IMO FP.

Would Kane have made any difference tomorrow, whatever the result - nope.

Would Waghorn? Possibly due to our lack of striking options. However, if it was a case that keeping him for tomorrow would have put his move in jeopardy then it’s the right call to let him go.

Plus, people are expecting a loss anyway aren’t they?

It’s no secret we’ve wanted both gone, and now they are.

Hi Mate - still waiting for evidence that I’ve said every signing we’ve ever made is an upgrade?

Am I? That’s a grand assumption from somebody who doesn’t know me.
A centre back is a priority, it has been since Fadz was injured, and there’s still no signing; where did I say Grendel has said this or that so that you think I agree with him?
Seriously, wind it in, mate. I come here to chat and to have a banter, not have someone jump on me for shit I haven’t said.

Sorry
It is clearly a priority but you improve the squad where you can when you can. The two wing backs are so integral to the way we play. Be gobsmacked if we don’t sign a permanent cb this window

We are not weakening the squad to any genuine extent by getting rid of Kane and Waghorn.

I am confident the two loans we have made will contribute far more.

PL clubs are littered with young pacey wingbacks who love to attack. Signing the type of centre back we need is going to be really tough though. We need an experienced leader not another promising 20 year old, someone who will stick their head on anything, control the back line but can pass the ball too. That costs money and I can see us having to compromise on that before the window closes.

Basically said the same on the Waghorn thread. I'd rather us bring someone before letting him go. We have just 2 recognised 'attacking' players in Vik and Palmer. We're then into Harrison Nee
