In that case I look for the degree of cellulite and amounts of crows feet.

Agree with Covmark...wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. Always in trouble with the law. Completed wasted his talent.

Talented striker but he'd probably end up spending half of his contract in jail so no thanks.

Yes we're missing ball carriers which is hopefully where the 2 new loans come in, tho the way the pitches are at this time of year we will of wrote them off by the time any grass starts growing again.

Not the ideal time to play on the deck is January and February at this level.

I'm sure a few get offered about freely at this level in this window. Only a handful will flourish tho, as how often do clubs do the full report on them players looking at the ability, personality, mentality... but have to take what they can due to various geographical, budget, situation factors.

We've seen first hand the very good and bad of loans and 11th hour loan signings gone wrong where a phone call is all the research done or simply the kids just homesick and gone into his shell.

Difficult market to work in.

I would say Tom Bayliss very much has a degree of dribbling skills.

He hasn't reached the frothing stage, it's still a little early.

He's certainly offered a option to bring the ball forwards but he's not the natural wide player that most sides have and we're lacking

Bayliss does have some nice tight ball control tho

Maguire-Drew is that winger though isn't he and Barrett can apparently play in many positions.

Probably need one more.

Maguire-Drew
Shipley
Barrett (who can play there)

Unfortunately I don't rate DKE highly enough to include him in the list. Think we should loan him out and see if he can make a name for himself elsewhere.

Kwame Thomas's loan to Solihull is up tomorrow. Wonder what will happen there on that one.

I'd like ideally two more players in, another natural wide player and a striker. However I understand the constraints were under as are many sides in L1 and L2 in the January window so reality is Carl Baker signing in early February and a youth loan in a striker with a bit of size about him.

Kwame is a tricky one, is he at his limit of registering for 3 clubs this season therefore can only play for us, Sutton or Solihull? I can see him coming back into the fold and sitting on the bench or stands as cover if we cannot find anyone suitable to loan.

MR will likely have a short list of options and several plans of the what if's and maybes as January pans out on how to best recruit for the future of CCFC.

We need another goal scorer or two with Nazon gone and if McNulty is injured we are buggered big time.

Chill, we've Ponticelli who everyone wanted in the side while McNulty was fluffing his lines to come in and Kwame ready to return.

Depth in the squad is missing at the moment.

We lost Jones and Andreu. Barrett and Brighton lad are possibly like for like replacements.

Nazon has gone = traditional striker needed.

I silently prayed he'd prove the doubters wrong. Does that count?
