Anyone at the game last night would tell you Dijksteel could play at right back when required. He can also play in the centre of defence or midfield. Sarr has also improved beyond recognition. Effectively 2 new signings.

I hope you're ready for some pelters from those that have never seen those players play live...
If Katrien has he say to Roland for us to get the striker then what's the problem? I'm sure KR won't be complaining. Mavididi would be great but he's got championship interest so won't be easy to get. Especially as we injured him in the first place.
Past experience tells us what a manager asks for is not always what he gets. Nothing has changed this season, Gobinson will ask for "X" and RD & KM will either agree or in most cases give him "Y"
A keeper in and some outgoings - then a loan or two if we can (Mavdidi if we are so lucky).
KR happy to promote youngsters, he's probably got a fairer budget than at MKD so even when he's stuck on some puppet strings he can't be too unhappy here.
We'll finish circa 9th give or take depending on injuries and sales mid-season.
KM has an opinion....maybe she's listened to supporters or maybe she's seen it for herself...or spoken to the management team. For what it's worth it's also an opinion pretty much everyone shares so not worthy of a drama.
We all want both but what we can afford is something different. Seems like Karl is pushing Novak but I have yet to see anything from him that convinces me he's up to it
Somebody we have on our books, who judging by the number of goals he has scored recently I would call a striker, is Ajose. There is an issue as to whether Robinson wants him in his system. There is debate about his ability. He is not a target man like Josh. He has been allowed to go by the collective decisions of this regime for a whole season. As has Vetokele. I think what is being urged upon Robinson is to make use of players like RHF and KAG. The situation is delicate and risky, although if Robinson is prepared to sometimes change to a plan B system, by that I mean 442, then we could exploit our current players in different ways. I seriously think though that we need cover at left back (Archie isn't ready yet), clearly a goalkeeper, and a player to fulfil Magennis role as I doubt Novak can do it (I would like to be proved wrong about this). This is now urgent, and it would be good for the club to act immediately before it becomes desperate.

Meires opinions have cost this football club money, points and supporters the last 4 years. She should either keep them to herself or just do what we all want and fuck off.
KM having any input into player recruitment is like my asking my sister who we should sign. And she absolutely hates football.
Of course I agree. The woman is a complete incompetent who shouldn't be involved with the football club, let alone anywhere near first team transfers.
But, if she thinks we need a striker and KR doesn't, I would agree with her. And that is possibly only the second time I have ever said that.
I'm not a KR fan but there is absolutely no way he doesn't want another striker. Regardless if Mavididi has interest from Champ level, he should have the support of the board to try get him, not be told 'I want someone else' as Swisdom has suggested.

And there lies the problem Gary, we all know in the past that KM & RD have meddled in team affairs and despite assurances it does not happen or will not happen again, nothing changes.
Robinson is the regimes mouthpiece, he may ask for certain players but he gets what he is given.
All those on here crying out for "cover in this position" and "cover in that position" should know from past experience that this regime do not spend unnecessarily on players or big squads.
If a player gets injured in a key position we get a Belgium third division player drafted in or an emergency loan player.
I'm sure that KM has opinions on some aspects of the club and the team, albeit probably not very sound or well informed ones. In the final analysis, however, it matters not a jot - all the key decisions are made by Duchatelet; her role, as she said in the very first interview, is to be 'his eyes and ears'.

As your plaster will do nothing to those cracks...
I know Karl was very keen on Mavididi whereas KM wants another striker.
Whether we get both remains to be seen but Arsenal wouldn't release Mavididi until the end of their pre-season tour
If so, what the fuck has it got to do with her?!!!

However..............i make her right. We do need a striker.
