I think Bowyer wants Amos but it’s going to come down to wages.
If Bowyer wants 7, and 5 are on loan then I guess it’s dependent on what percentage of the loanees wages we have to pay. If we get a good deal like we did with Cullen or Bielik then it might free up a bit more to offer the couple of freebies.
For that reason I genuinely see a quiet July and a busy first week in August.
In other words he is saying that at this current moment, we aren't close enough to get in someone before the weekend, but used the Purrington deal as an example as to how it can change quickly, so that would infer he has a little bit of hope that we could do something beforehand but right now, probably not.
As I mentioned previously, it is the first week back for Premier League clubs, things will start to move along now at a quicker rate. If it means we have to wait another 7 days to bring in a few players, but players we actually want, so be it.

Think there was talk of getting him on loan from arsenal

I can't help but think that last season was just a one off as far as loans were concerned. The planets aligned and most of our better performers have now gone back to their parent clubs. Bowyer and Gallen are really going to have to lay on the charm to get anyone decent on board. I hope the rabbit they pull out of the hat isn't riddled with the dreaded mixxy!!!

Who’s bickering?
No one. BR7 is a snowflake : - )
Quite the opposite, I love the bickering on here!
its like love island or the jungle / bb - much more interesting when people are 'bickering'
A 10 is a striker - one who comes deep for the ball to his feet / head who will play with another who goes on the shoulder or stretches defenders out wide (taylor). 1 more striker will complete the set - aneke and taylor first choice, bonne the up and coming bit part and a pace merchant hopefully to be added who can come on as our modern day martin pringle for the last 20. That or a fox in the box but personally i'd say the pace is more important given that taylor and aneke bot know where the goal is.
Bowyer plays a 4-4-2 diamond or 5-3-2/3-5-2 though, so by 10 he means the player at the tip of the diamond, or the attacking midfielder in the 3.
nope - one of the front 2
I'm talking about what Bowyer means, not what a number 10 may or may not be historically or in the wider football world. I agree in a 4-4-2 a number 10 is a striker, but Bowyer's talking about a creative attacking midfield role, which can also be described as a number 10. There's more than one definition, a 10 is either a striker dropping deep or an attacking midfielder just behind the striker(s).
Watch the interview linked to above. Bowyer says:
"Chuks is a number 10, so he's a midfielder. So at the moment we have Lyle and Macauley, so we'll be looking to bring in minimum 1 but hopefully 2 more strikers. We know Chuks can adapt, but that's not why we brought Chuks in, we've brought Chuks in to score goals from the middle of the park and to provide because he's very good at assists as well."
The problem with playing Taylor and Aneke together is that neither of them are an out and out striker.
Aneke (as we know from what Bowyer has said) will play deeper and Taylor always wanders out wide. So if that happens who is getting into the middle?
Wasn't so much of a problem last year in league one as we had Grant for half a season or when we were dominating sides like we did in many games, but in the championship (especially in away games) where we might only get 2-3 chances, we need a striker who's going to get in the middle and take a half chance.
What a goal hanger type of player you mean? An Ajose mark 2 doesn't appeal to me, I'll stick with Taylor & Chuks or a +1 who puts a shift in for the team.
Someone like Grant who has the pace and skill to offer a threat in deep or wide positions but is still a striker who will get in goalscoring positions in and around the box.
Another Taylor would be good, someone who is equally good at scoring as they are at assisting.
I see Lockyer as the Bielik replacement and Aneke is in for Reeves Bonne for Hacket Fairchild which leaves in squad terms. I think we need nine Maxwell GK Bauer RCB Cullen MF Aribo MF Fosu MF Williams MF Marshall MF Parker ST Vetekele ST
Would say Bonne is more Parker than RHF
Have just read this and can't decide if this is good or bad?

Agree though at least we have an alternative already in Aneke. Currently Bonne is our only striker in the Grant mould and Bowyer’s said he’s not here to go straight in.

I thought he played for Everton and passed away in February.

Who’s bickering?
Not Bobby Bickering- the talented young central midfielder from Stevenage?
Out of all the positions we need to fill i'd say GK is the least important, just chuck Maynard-Brewer on the bench and get a loan in late in the window. Midfield is the real problem at the moment
Not sure Bows wants to fill up one of the 5 loan spots allowed in a squad on a gk, especially when there is cheaper free options
Gone from 'on the verge of signing' to hearing absolutely nothing about him. Is he considering other offers, staying at Bolton, or perhaps we're waiting to see if Williams will sign and then we may not need him. Anyone heard anything?
I suspect there might be contractual issues regarding the wages that Bolton didn’t pay that need to be sorted out before he can leave. No idea if it’s still on or off as far as either parties are concerned.
The stumbling block on all perms is gonna be wages
whilst my appearance at the valley this summer was a long way from my outstanding display in 92, i will be willing to take a drop in wages, combine the programme / media role thingy and have a kev keegan perm if it means being part of the squad - just don't give me the number 10 shirt - i want to be somewhere near the goal
cawley just tweeted that bowyer hoping for bielek back on loan and arsenal have confirmed that we would be there choice

Unless with Jonny's injury problems there are insurance reasons behind it

Sounds more like that he's hoping Arsenal will send him back here if they decide to loan him out again
