  • Come on all. It's a cost cutting move. We haven't played him all season and the 'savers' have realised we can fill CM without him. Don't expected a replacement.

    McGrandles out seems sensible.  If we get the player I was told about Saturday he’s slightly more advanced so wouldn’t be a like for like.  Depends if we want to “force” a deal through

    We were also looking at another centre midfielder but I don’t know his name.
    After your loan deal hint I am now trying to think of midfielders with Star Wars related names.

    Johnny Ewok?

    This is like The Times Cryptic Crossword...🤷‍♂️
  • Skywalker?
    Chewie?
    Princess Leia?
    Solo?
    Vader?

    Can't think of anybody!
  • Seems very odd to ship McGrandles out unless there is a replacement lined up
    Balancing the wage bill to account for the three loanees.
  • John obi Mikel.. but hes retired now.. 



  • Welcome back Luke Varney!

    Shaun Newton?

  • A more contemporary guess - Max Power? (likely unavailable as I think he's been playing for Wigan).
  • No issues with McGrandles going out. Hoping  for one or two more in.

    Holden likes his midfield to be 1 holding player and then 2 attacking players either side like he has been playing Morgan/Payne along with Fraser. That’s how he set up at Bristol City also I believe. Would you say the player fits that mould? Definitely think we could upgrade on Morgan/Payne and hopefully get a more consistent player

    He’s more of a #10 but has been playing as a lone striker a bit this season and it doesn’t appear to suit him as well. So in answer to your question, he probably does fit in!
    If he’s starting/playing for his first team I’d think we’ll have to part with a fee, which I’d guess could be tough. Hopefully we can add at least a couple more of the right type of players. 
  • With McGrandles gone we could do with picking up a midfielder who knows how to put the boot in. Dobson is looking increasingly like he wants to be put down and a midfielder three made of up of a combination of Fraser, Morgan, Payne or Henry isn't going to cut it. Might be difficult to convince a team to part with a loanee who will just pop up whenever our captain needs a rest though
    Sean Clare?

    Weren't we linked, at one stage with Obi-wan's grate grandson at one stage?  But he was a left back.

    Just looking at league 1 and some players that fit the description (some more than others!) 

    Jevani Brown (Exeter) 
    Gareth McLeary (Wycombe)
    Sam Smith (Cambridge)
    Tommy Leigh (Accrington) 
    Ben House (Lincoln) 
    Kieran Phillips (Morecambe on loan) 

    Don’t think it would be Jevani Brown or McLeary and they don’t really fit. Leigh and House fit the description most and both good age and realistic options but I could be looking in the wrong league for all I know!

    We will more a winger I expect 
  • Seeing as both players have now signed for us, I think the heading title needs changing, I keep thinking we’re going to sign them, when they’ve already signed.
  • Sean Clare moving to midfield would have been linked to Todd Kane's move to us. Sadly he'll remain at RB.

  • ‘Force’ means an  anagram for “a deal through” so the correct answer is ‘A Thread Ghoul”… wait, what?!

    That just moves our gap to fullback if we want to play him there at all regularly, which I hope we don't. We've currently got 3 fit fullbacks and one of them is managing a knee injury. Clare has never had a good game at central midfield for Charlton though. If people thought it was worth moving McGrandles on because he didn't look great in the 176 minutes of mostly unfit football he played this season they'd do well to remember what the first 13 games of last season looked like

    Victor Adeboyejo at Burton can play as a 10.

    Edit: I've just seen he's linked with Bolton and Millwall.
