We're over budget, don't forget.2

How do we know McAleny is best as a striker? Maybe left midfield is his best position? Didn't look like a striker on Tuesday.cafc4life said:
A right back for covering Solly? A player that's missed numerous games in the last two years because of his knee. An actual winger.? Not a striker or centre mid that's playing out of position ? Does it need explaining .Scoham said:
Why? Is there another position we need a first choice player?cafc4life said:what a joke
Two weeks before the transfer window shut luzon wanted 2/3 more , 2 weeks after it closes, we've signed a striker kid from a prem club on a 2 month loan and that's it. Hence my original comment
Ideally we'd have cover for Solly but we're not going to get a good and affordable right back on loan who might not even be needed on the bench.3 -
Just when you thought they'd learnt. Oh well, another boring season awaits.1
-
We're so close to having a squad that could challenge for the playoffs over the course of a season and Duchatelet doesn't seem to realise that or is happy with mid-table Championship football. Don't get me wrong, I'll take that over a relegation battle and League One but it seems a waste with the talent we do have in the squad. I fully expect to see Cousins and Gudmundsson sold before the start of next season and possibly even Tony Watt, triggering yet another summer of rebuilding.2
-
I really thought this season would be different, lessons would be learned and we would not be so naive, never mind, maybe next summer.4
-
He has cover for Solly and thats Cousins.
For some bizarre reason he is determined to fit Ba, Kashi and Cousins in the starting 11 which unfortunately means Jordan will play in any position needed. Unfortunate because we all know what position where he is at his best except for guy of course .0 -
Cousins HAS to play central midfield. Absolute waste out wide.10
-
Luzon must not have had the call yet from Reams informing him that three Bournemouth players are on there way....8
-
Not only is his talent wasted out wide but our formation looks like City Hall ffs0

“I always know my best 11,” he said. “It depends on fitness and form but I know my best team. “We don’t have any excuses now. We have a squad, we need to use them and be smart.”

This is the key quote from Luzon.Henry Irving said:Charlton boss: That's us done for transfers but I'm delighted to get Everton frontman
Thursday, 17 September 2015 By Richard Cawley
This is our squad and we go with this squad,
Charlton boss Guy Luzon does not expect any more signings after the loan capture of Everton’s Conor McAleny this week.
The 23-year-old joined on an initial two-month loan which is likely to be extended.
And Luzon has dismissed the idea that there could be any more arrivals.
"This is our squad and we go with this squad," he said.
McAleny has suffered injury setbacks during previous loans at Cardiff City and Brentford.
Luzon said: "I’m sure he will be okay. Conor is a very good player with a lot of quality. He is an attack-minded left winger and he will show a lot this season, I’m sure."
As Scoham said above, maybe left midfield is his best position.1 -
So Cousins will be used as LM/RB for a significant number of games. Awesome.1
-
Cousins is in danger of getting the utility tag and failing to settle in a position. I actually said to my mate on Tuesday that, whilst CM is clearly his best position, what may hold him back from becoming really decent in that position is his poor shooting skills. He has all the traits to be a decent wing back in my opinion.0

On Tuesday McAleny kept coming inside to shoot rather than take it wide and cross it which suggests he prefers to be in the middle. Also doesn't bode too well for service for the 2 strikers if both our wingers are looking to cut inside.Scoham said:

As for Solly makes more sense to get a loan in when and if he gets injured - that's why they are emergency loans!0 -
He was poorer on the right of midfield under Powell than the left under BP and GL IMO.DamoNorthStand said:Cousins is in danger of getting the utility tag and failing to settle in a position.

He can't play wide. He's not skilful enough.

Well, to be fair, he played not a lot like a left winger on Tuesday. Wanted to be central all the time.Garrymanilow said:

Considering James Henry (also a right footed winger) appeared to be our first choice it probably suggests that's the way Luzon wants us to play.Exiled_Addick said:

Our left side could look very different with McAleny, who looks more technical than Cousins, and perhaps Bergdich, who is very different to Fox with his pace and the way he looks to run with the ball.0 -
Thought lessons were learnt last season that Cousins has to play in the middle. Looked so much more balanced with him in the middle and the whole team looked more balenced. Don't know why we have gone back to this.
Also Cousins, Kashi and Ba all seem pretty similar players to me.
Vetokele looks a third of the player he was and KAG is not ready yet.
Don't get how before the window closed we needed 3 players and now we get one and that is all we are getting.
Mid table and lower half of mid table beckons again4 -
To be fair we looked balanced because we had a quality left winger (Bulot). The problem is that he wasn't replaced in the summer, indeed we also let Eagles go and sent Callum out on loan, so we are struggling to find anyone who can play that position well. Maybe our new loanee is the solution?Addictforlife said:Thought lessons were learnt last season that Cousins has to play in the middle.

If we're after a left winger, I think I've spotted a pretty decent one playing in France...
