    Fox will scare chicksen

    Assuming he doesn't get hounded out :open_mouth: .

    He definitely doesn't pass the height test!

    Also, he's no spring Chicksen…
  • That Downey kid looks an ideal replacement for Lookie if he goes. Can we play a trialist tomorrow?

    What an untried kid from the Caribbean youth leagues is a good replacement for the best midfielder on our books?
    The days where we sold players and got well scouted replacements are well gone. We are in the desperation league.

    He's a good egg though but may tikka bit of time to settle in.

    Good luck to the new lad but it does feel like we really are in serious downsizing mode.

    I appreciate that relegation comes with a cost and that it's much bigger these days with the TV and solidarity money than in, say, 1972 when we lost Paul Went and Ray Treacy (but gained Arthur Horsfield). Duchatelet, however, seems to be totally incapable of retaining any player for whom a bid is made. Holmes-Dennis last week, probably Lookman by Wednesday and no doubt he's penciling in a figure for Konsa for next January or June 2017.

    Duchatelet has to go or this club is going to continue to wither on the vine and shrink year-on-year.

    I reallly think chicksen might ruffle a few feathers at this level and whats more we havent had to "lay" out a load of money for him. He might not be first choice in the pecking order , what else can could we cockadoodledo this late in the window.

    THD didn't want to stay, and seemingly RS didn't rate him, as he barely played for us this month. On that basis I've no problem with them taking the money.

    Lookman is a different situation

    You can't compare now with 1972 though, the money is vastly greater now, agents are everywhere, and players have so much power, especially being able to leave for nothing at the end of contracts. It's much harder to keep hold of players

    Ironic that arriving home tonight from a Bank Holiday BBQ with friends locally, our daughter's family discovered that 2 of their 4 hens had been slaughtered by Mr Tod ...

    Not eggsactly the best end to a lovely day out.

    They say, give enough monkeys enough time and they'd bang out Shakespeare on their keyboards. I'm not so sure!

    West Brom have signed Nacer Chadli from, Spurs. Always thought he was a decent player. Can't see them wanting Lookman as well...

    Undisclosed fee of course

    Reported to be £13m. Why anybody would want to play under Tony Pulis is beyond me.
    I would.

    You could say its a bit of a coop.

    Let's hope he doesn't get roasted first game

    Apparently we are close to signing Adam Chicksen , a left back . #cafc

    Very good player . Hope it's true

    I've seen Chicksen quite a few times and he's s much better player than Fox . Exciting going forward and a tough tackler.
    I would be surprised if he came to us as big things were expected of him.

    This signing is going to cause division in our squad.

    What happens when Slade has Fox, Chicksen and a bag of grain and has to transport them to an island, on a boat, one at a time?

    I imagine that Spurs supporting taxi driver would come in handy

    If so how come he hasn't got a club before now and can't nail down a first team spot anywhere?

    A Brighton fan I know doesn't really rate him and it sounds like they have plenty of other options that can play at left back.

    I'm told he is signing / signed. Seems like a player that showed potential when breaking through at MK but hasn't delivered it since then.

    Diarra didn't have a club all season until we signed him in February/March.
