Couldn't finish his dinner. Next.The Red Robin said:6 -
Yet scored goals away from Charlton last season. Zero scouting went into the Ajose signing because the manager wasn't consulted and he didn't fit into the playing style Slade wanted to adopt [insert joke about what playing style is that then? here].Swisdom said:
He's hardly proven - he's had 1 good season in his career and for us has been disinterested and rubbish at bestLargeAddick said:don't get the excitment over MavadidI. If he played a full season I can't see him scoring more than five goals. Would rather they signed a proven goalscorer at this level, like that bloke Swindon had the other year. Oh .....

Must be queuing up for a striker who's scored 18 goals in 111 games over the last 3 years.Henry Irving said:

He never said he expected to get 4 in before the weekend.kings hill addick said:

Still 4 weeks of the transfer window left. Check the BBC transfer gossip page, the PL may be a week behind us but there are still loads of deals going through7 -

Not really. 1 before the weekend I.e. tomorrow. Still another month of the window. Hope for 2 after that.kings hill addick said:

It's only taken seven months. That's pretty quick for Katrien.Henry Irving said:4 -
Reeves was always going to be signing today, which is fantastic news as he is going to be a top class player for us this season.
I am more disappointed that Mavididi looks set to be going to Preston, I really thought he would set this league alight if he joined.
There's also no point in Watt going if we haven't got a decent striker lined up to come in.1 -
She did have to actually get out of bed and turn up at work to be fair, so well dome to her.The Red Robin said:

Imagine getting rid of watt aswel . Need 2 strikers as it, 3 if he goes. Fucking joke of a club if they let this happen. It don't matter how many wide players you got if you got no strikers.7

Hope we can get Reeves over the line.
Disappointed about Stephy but I hope we can get Stewart in until Jan to cover Marshalla injury. The plus side of that is he won't be able to have too many issues if he is 3rd or 4th choice whereas arsenal might have issues with Stephy being left out.
I see Watt being used more behind the striker than leading the line. He has been used there in pre season. Alternatively him coming off the bench if we want to change the system and force it could be very effective. I'd like to keep him.2 -
Watt isn't really suited to how KR wants to play so if he was to leave we'd absolutely need to get in a similar striker to Magennis to give him some competition.7

good job it didn't involve a £198m fee, £500k pw wages and the Qatari's otherwise it would have taken seven years.The Red Robin said:

Reeves is a done deal. I think Arsenal wanted to loan Mavadidi to a Championship Club.10

Can't see him going without a replacement coming in. KR will be playing a lone striker, we don't need 5.cafc4life said:Imagine getting rid of watt aswel . Need 2 strikers as it, 3 if he goes.

as I see it our only problem this season is the lack of a decent goalscorer and we'll be in big trouble if Magennis get's injured.1

Well we have Novak as well so that's 2, but we definitely need another striker, certainly for games when things aren't going so well and we need to change it and put 2 up front.Scoham said:

Surely there will be times when you mix it up and look to play 4-4-2 tho? Imagine a whole season with just Magennis and Novak as your strikers. Sometimes you've got to have a plan B and C in football. We haven't got that and getting rid of 1 of our remaining 3 strikers isn't a step in the right directionScoham said:

We have Magennis up front and Clarke who has regularly played there in his career. We also have Novak, Watt, KAG and Hanlan. If Watt goes then we need a replacement. But if not then we've got enough and it's a matter of upgrades rather than additional bodies. Otherwise we wI'll have too many in that position to reasonably accommodate.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

But then in KR's formation, the key is what the 3 behind the lone striker do on the pitch. If they spend all their time defending, then Josh (or whoever) will be isolated. Alternatively, if the 3 spend most of their time up the pitch, then we'll have 4 attackersChris_from_Sidcup said:

If you look at Arsenal last season, they would often have Giroud as the lone striker, but when the 3 behind him contain Sanchez, Ozil and Walcott, you can hardly say they needed to go to 4-4-2 to have an attacking threat. We don't have that level of player, but the principle is the same, if your 3 are good enough for this league...

Definitely need 3 strikers, KR has said that himself (or "three 9s" in his language). Get the right one in to replace Watt and that should hopefully give us the option of playing 2 out an out strikers.cafc4life said:

Too much is made of the formation. It's not far off a 4-4-2 except with the hold up player high up the pitch, a creative playing dropping deep (rather than a more pacey poacher type) and two attacking wide players.
KRs 4-2-3-1 is far more attacking than a Slade or Powell 4-4-2 with a Wilson/Jackson/Foley type player playing out wide.
What's important is we have plenty of options for the '3'. With Reeves we'll have four with Marshall out. Unless we bring someone in that will leave the likes of KAG having to step up.6
