Ladapo vs Prem young loanee I think is an easy choice.
Ladapo every time. When was the last time we had a decent scoring loanee?
JRS last season
Sorry I meant as in an out and out striker. But you probably gathered that from the comparison to Ladapo.
Fair enough. Had a quick look on Wikipedia, I don’t think we’ve had many on loan - Burstow but that’s a bit different. Stockley scored enough for us to sign him permanently.
Before that you have to go back to 17/18 when we loaned Dodoo, Mavididi and Zyro.
Kind of my point, we have landed on a striker that did okay last season, instead of one that is known to do well at this level.
Strikers who have been banging them in tend not to be loaned out to clubs in a lower division .....
Ladapo deal seems to have a lot of moving parts in order for it all to fall into place which is probably why it won’t happen. Seems we are settling for Tedic so we don’t leave ourselves short again like last year.

Young strikers learn their trade by being loaned out to a lower division. Many of them score goals. Ones we sign, young or old, rarely score 5 a season. Stockley the outlier with his 8 in 22.
fantastic window lost count 12/13 with the keeper ? squad of youth , pace and energy some real competition for places now. Well done to the new owners and Andy Scott for getting these done so quickly in the short time the have been in the role .. now down to the new manager he as the tools top6 the aim COYR
I am honestly jealous of those fans who can somehow see serious positives in our business lately, I hate feeling like we are already set up to fail at our objectives with 41 games still to play.
Even if everyone is suddenly fit again and stays fit the rest of the season I cannot see how this squad has the know-how to be a promotion threat to our rivals.
I think Tedic is the backup plan and Ladapo and Etete are number 1 and 2 on the list, but are a lot harder to finalise. I wouldn't be surprised to see it announced late tonight with a deal sheet submitted early but not confirmed til we know we don't have the other targets

If u r right then this window could be salvageable - no proven striker incoming and we r pissing in the wind
Problem being, if we appoint a new manager after the weekend, he will have two weeks to work with the squad, but some players away on international duty and some injured, plus the ones who are not match fit, be interesting to see the first team he picks in the first game

I'd be shocked if this team gets anywhere near playoffs and we'll be straight back to square one next summer.
Oops...just seen above!
Yep.
Wonder if there's more? Was always going to be a mad dash towards the end when you are in the financial position we are in.

Did getting Ben Watson, Chris Gunter, Harry Arter work 🤔
They had great careers but before they came to cafc.
We are on the young side now but hopefully this means legs that haven't gone !
Darren Purse is 47 in February
Finally it makes sense
