LB may need to consider a change of formation. We have a wealth of good attacking midfielders and no strikers. 4-2-3-1 anyone?
It might end up being Hobson's choice but if so then those talented midfielders need to start scoring regularly because Aribo is top of that pile with 5.
Cawley: ‘Only #cafc deal in today will be a loan striker. Spoken to Lee Bowyer just now and he says the club are "in a good position" to get the one they want.’
Couple of million quid in the bank for Roland to offset his (loan) losses then.
Can't be so. @Doucher said one permanent and one loan.
Why does anybody believe Roland would spend money.
Surprise surprise, we lose two strikers, then we have one coming back from a long term injury and another one is suspended for a couple more games, and we only bring in one on loan.
Anyone care to stick up for Roland anymore?
I wasn’t expecting him to spend money but maybe we could’ve done something similar to the Williams deal.
This window has well and truly weakened us up front.
Hmmm, trashed his flat after personal problems from a break up of a relationship. Not the crime of the century, sounds a bit hot headed, needs a manager who can relate to him and give him best advice from his own personal experiences...................I know just the man.
If this incoming player is better than Ajose (which he will be) and maybe even better than Grant (which is possible) then I'd hardly say we've been weakened up front.
As I say, the issue is whether the player comes in. Let's stay hopeful.
jason cummings linked - a player who on loan at peterboro is being sent back to his parent club because he is causing problems, hes also scottish so this seasons tony watt
Very similar to Tony magic feet Watt in that Cummings was very highly rated as a youngster playing for the Scottish schools and scoring at Hibernian. The problem is off the field where it sounds like he gets bored. Social media clips of him smashing up his flat with TV being lobbed out the window and Barry Fry saying he has no future at Posh.
Football wise when he is focused he is a good player.

Grant has 14 goals in 28 games
Have you actually checked just HOW MANY players have scored more in this division this season.....

I agree, but there were also comments from Evans regarding his drinking.
As Bows said though “everyone needs a second chance”.

So typical RD gives us the bare minimum.
Which weakens our promotion chances - no wonder the Aussies have defected to Notts County.

If we only bring one in, no matter what way you look at it, even if this player is better than Grant (which is unlikely otherwise he wouldn’t be coming down to us on deadline day) we will still be weaker.
Before January we had Taylor, Grant, Ajose and Vetokele not including Reeco as he hadn’t been involved really. Now we have Taylor who is suspended still, Vetokele who isn’t fit and Reeco who is still extremely raw. Even if we bring in one striker, we are weaker.

He's done well. But why is he 12th in our season player ratings? You say it like its impossible that we'll find a player that helps the team play better. I'd say it's eminently possible.

Taylor is suspended for two more games. Then he is unleashed on a tiring and increasingly stretched division

Don't trash your flat mate, let's go and get a McDonald's.

Yep and one of Bowyers main requirements will be the lad fitting into the group so I'm sure he will weigh it all up and make the right call.

“Obviously he won’t be in to train today, which is disappointing. We’d hoped that would happen yesterday.
“Today we hear ‘yes’ or ‘no’. But I think we’ve got a good chance.
“And then that is us [done]. That’s all we’re trying to do, just replace Karlan.”
