    So is Assimwe counted as a squad member or an under aged?,  if under probably not so important to try and offload if people feel he is improving. Then maybe just another loan.
    He’s over by a few days, so it makes sense for him to get regular game time out on loan. He’s too good for the u21s.
    Ok, I asked this as I thought he may be one to sell , but he seems to be improving, initially thought he wasn’t going to progress, so might be worth seeing how he does with another loan.👍

    Asiimwe has filled out more, he looks very strong now, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up similar to Ramsay in terms of being able to play right back and on the right hand side of a back 3

    We would have been chuffed with him signing before we found out about Koumetio wouldn’t we?, hard not to get a bit excited about things especially with the start we’ve had, I don’t think NJ is thinking about just surviving this season. A RW maybe an extra CM and from what I saw as an average window will turn into an absolute humdinger!!

    Bindon is right footed and likes to play on the right, will we play him on the left or will we shift Jones?

    Genuinely have a Sheff Utd fan in my friend group - and his reply to me just now was:

    ”You lot are proper Championship now mate - unreal signing”
    I wonder why Sheffield Utd didn’t get him back for this season ?

    I don't think you move Jones.

    Gently and slowly closed to allow paper work to catch up.

    He played predominantly on the left for Reading and Sheff United I believe

    I think he is comfortable playing either. 
    So he will play on thr left as Jones is far more comfortable on the right

    Have to say, with Clarke at £2.5m or whatever it is - I really didn’t miss him playing for us when I saw him atoday. Works hard and has grit but not much else. 
    Certainly wouldn’t swap him for Danny Mac
    100% (as they say, ad nauseam😉)

    I really like Danny Mac's combination of the shithousery with good care of the ball and a quietly efficient use of it. He's better than Clarke on those parameters. Clarke gets into more dangerous attacking positions, but as we know, he wastes a lot of them. Danny Mac has only done that once I think,  but it was that really vicious half-volley in the 1st half against Derby, excellent technique and on target. I love him already. All that said, Harry Clarke did well for us last season, I was glad we got him in then.
    For me the change in formation requires full backs to be very good backs 1st and foremost so wingers can do their thing. Danny is a better full back.
    Also, Mesik is a very attacking left back. In the first half he was bombing forward, so we need the solidity on the other side.

    I really don't like the new 25 man squad rules as they are written, as it's ridiculous that academy players like Kanu and Asiimwe count the same as a multi million pound overseas signings, because they are months (days in case of Asiimwe) over the age limit.

    Having a 25 man limit AND transfer windows across the EFL is massively restrictive. For all the talk of new signings, we have an awful lot of players to shift by Tuesday, and I imagine many other clubs are in the same situation. It's turning transfer window deadline day into one of those The Apprentice selling tasks, where with 30 minutes to go they sell their products at ridiculously low prices just to get rid of the left over stock...
    This.

    The 25 man cap is too low. Have a glut of injuries and you are delving into the U21's.  I think it should be up to the individual clubs as to how many players they register. And if there has to be a cap then 28 or 30 seems a better figure.

    The 25 man cap has been in place a while and we haven’t had any issues. The only reason it’s a problem for us is that we’ve had to sign injury prone players

    V Dangerous! the draught from a slamming window could well knock Burke over!

    Good cover for Bell and with Collins out and Burke made of glass, it’s a great addition and one I hope we can make perm next summer.

    Would be interested to know what kind of loan fee would be demanded for a deal like this. May have put a few teams off as surely some one higher up would’ve wanted him.

    For those closer to the detail, what chance is there of JRS still joining but on revised terms in light of the information/issues that arose when he was about to sign? Or is it completely off?
    Did you see the way Alli played yesterday?

    Why would we still be interested, with all the baggage of that deal...
