    Not sure why we need Foley when Konza can fill for all the positions he can play and probably do a better job.

    You want Ezri Konsa, an 18 year old centre half with zero league appearances to fill in at right back over an experienced 31 year old actual right back who has won promotion from the Football League and played in the Premiership?

    Are you Katrien Meire?

    Well, Konsa's young, it's a long season. You need experienced pros who should be capable at that level. Foley can also play central midfield as an experienced head. I'd take Foley but still ensure Konsa gets a chance to play.

    Shame. Must have been a decent fee I guess, hopefully with add-ons built in.

    So now we need a right winger, having sold both of ours. Any tips on who might come in? Perhaps Louis Thompson can play right wing? I can't see him getting many games at Norwich, as even if they sell Brady they have attacking midfielders in Maddison, Canos, Pritchard, Hoolahan, Josh Murphy, Jacob Murphy & Naismith.

    Perhaps we could loan one of the Murphys.

    http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/14664621.Exclusive__Charlton_in_the_process_of_terminating_winger___s_contract/

    Another one off.

    Not suited to this league but someone gave him a four year deal! FOUR YEARS.

    And if Lens want him why not sell him or do they only want him now he'll be a free agent?

    Yet another recruitment disaster but can't see him being the type to interest Slade

    Got to say, you know your club's a mess where a player being sacked for refusing to turn up to training is seen as a win, because with the fines and the sacking you won't have to pay anywhere near as much cancelling his contract as you normally do.

    Cally is shit, end of. Don't care if he's homegrown etc. That just means half our fans think he can do no wrong. The amount of wrong decisions he makes every time he is on the pitch is staggering. Sure every now and then he surges past a couple of players, or takes a dig that the keeper is scrambling for, but it's once every 3-4 games, and is nowhere near good enough. I just hope we bring in someone to play on the left to fill the gap left in the squad

    So shit that he will be playing in the Championship next year while we are enjoying League One

    So shit he scored lots of goals and made loads of assists in league 1 for a struggling side last season.

    So shit a Championship side want to buy him according to rumours.

    Such a bad attitude that Slade praised his work ethic and attitude only yesterday.
    reza was "shit" ...harriot has just got to learn when to do the flashy stuff and when not to ...there are comparisons with him and a young John Robinson to be drawn and look how he developed ..he needs a coach and dare i say a crowd who will back him ...if theres one thing that really upsets me is supporters coating off our youth products ...if he stays with us we should get behind the lad 100%

    Harriott is a left winger though really.

    Anyway, we can play Lookman on the wing, Holmes on the wing, THD as a winger, Kennedy can play there too, and we have nearly 4 weeks to get someone in on top. Don't be surprised to see us play a more central player out wide though, like when Powell played Pritchard on the right, or when Bailey played on the left

    Foley has played 21 games in 2 years. Is only going to be cover at best, one would hope. The ideal scenario to blood a youngster with talent.

    So Johnny 'Farmer' Giles is making a comeback?

  • No tears shed here over Harriot going.
  • Looking at my notes, I don't see four fit midfielders...

    Am I right?

    Jackson, Crofts and Holmes are the only three.

    Kashi and Diarra are out injured.
  • Didn't oliver Muldoon play right wing in youth team,maybe play him there?

    Lookman, Ba, Foley if he signs, the guy apparently coming in today, Muldoon as well

    Thanks - I had missed Ba... I have Lookman as a striker.

    No problem if just you and me chew the cud
  • not bothered about Harriott going.. just worried that we now need to do more work to get players in and we're making hard enough work of it as it is
  • What time is the cut off to register players for 2mro?

    This attitude is one of the main reasons why we went down. We currently have one first choice right back in Chris Solly. Solly's injury problems are often overblown, but he is someone who is capable of picking up a long term knock. That's when Foley, an experienced defender can come in and cover. 'Blooding' youngsters involves putting them into appropriate matches that will help them develop an idea of what first team football is like in their correct positions. It's not chucking them in as the only remaining option. What if Solly does his knee against Bury and is out for months? You're then asking a young centre half to play out of position with no support every game. It's stuff like this that did for Ahearne-Grant last season and hasn't helped players like Fox. If they go out there knowing that there's no cover and they can't be protected then their confidence can be shattered. With the ridiculous number of injuries we get every season it's just insane to shrug and point at a child as our backup option. The lack of experience and depth in our squad killed us last season. We need to bring someone like Foley in

    Correct me if I'm wrong but, they have only got an hour and a half to bring players in if they are to be involved tomorrow!

    Depends on when we register them with the FA. We could hand the paperwork in before 1 and finalise the contract afterwards, subject to medical etc.

    Exactly. Pressure is on the club now as we are too thin on the ground midfield for tomorrow. We can't go in with Jacko and Crofts - memories of first game v Bournemouth a couple of years back.

    90 mins to go. Can they deliver?
