SSN over to Selhurst to speak to a complete tosser.2

How about a 3-5-2 where we can play Tex, Pearce and Bauer.CAFCsayer said:I haven't got a clue who should play at centre-back... Having Tex, Bauer, Pearce, Konsa, Diarra would be good in the Championship, pretty staggering in this league!

Will go wrong when Jose Riga returns for his third spell in JanuaryCovered_End_Lad said:Definitely take Poyet back on a free, he was poor in his second spell with us on loan but in a poor team with no proper manager. Under RS we could see the old Diego, and having seen a lot of him in that season he was fucking mustard.

Any mention of Lookman?masicat said:SSN over to Selhurst to speak to a complete tosser.

Might have wanted to sign a midfield if they were.mogodon said:Credit where it is due to the club and, dare it be said, Meire, they kept Lookman which not many of us expected and have the basis of a decent League 1 squad. While selling Fox for £1m plus would have been good business, that they resisted is an indication that perhaps they are serious about a promotion push.

Same here, worth a go with our lack of other midfield options, but doubt it would happen.Valley11 said:I'd sign him to be honest but perhaps that ship's sailed.

So, one bunch of supporters who were going to slit their wrists if we sold Lookman, will be replaced by a different bunch who will slit their wrists because we didn't, because they don't have a stick to beat the management with...5

No excuses now Rusty. You have a top 6 squad to work with until the end of January.1

Poyet must have something lined up0

Thought it was a loan. Strange one.The Red Robin said:Chris Martin. Derby to Fulham. Permanent.

Would that be the no proper manger who got the best form of his career out of him when he was only 19?Covered_End_Lad said:Definitely take Poyet back on a free, he was poor in his second spell with us on loan but in a poor team with no proper manager.

Then wouldn't be able to play Holmes and Lookman unless Lookman starts up top. Could be good thoughCallumcafc said:

Oh just cos he hasn't left this time round makes everything okay does it? Behave . People on here never fail to amuse me. One signing when we was looking at potentially 2/3 is made up for the fact we kept hold of one of our better players? No .masicat said:

I'd take Poyet back in a heartbeat. Should be able to run a game in this league. Was poor last season but can't forget how good he was first time round.4

Poyet in
Johnson out
No source, I just want this to happen. The 13/14 poyet can't have been fluke he was mustard, needs to get his head down and play somewhere, for free it's worth a punt.3 -
Well, if your glass was half full you could see it as lookman is like a new signing once fit enough to play a full 90mins and he should rip this league to bitscafc4life said:

My thinking is giving Holmes and Lookman wide/free roles behind Mcgennis/Novak.CAFCsayer said:

The problems are:
1) It would almost certainly mean dropping Fox and I can't imagine Chicksen is 90 minutes fit, especially at wingback
2) We just sold our best/only natural wingback in THD
3) Solly has the energy for wingback but isn't quite good enough going forward
4) It doesn't not solve out problem of creativity in the middle of the park and how to get the ball from back to front.1 - Sponsored links:

GK - Rudd, Phillips
RB - Solly, Foley, Konsa
LB - Fox, Chicksen, Lennon
CB - Tex, Bauer, Pearce, Lennon, Johnson, Konsa
CM - Foley, Crofts, Jacko, Ulvestad, Diarra, Kashi, Ba
Wingers - Holmes, Lookman, Botaka, Jacko, Foley
Str - Lookman, Ajose, Magennis, Novak
That gives 24 players plus Hanlon, Aherne-Grant, Umerah, Kennedy, Charles-Cook, Muldoon.
Defence looks strong, still weak in midfield given injuries to Diarra and Kashi and whereabouts of Ba.
Would have liked to have got rid of Tex and Ba, bringing in at least 1 more midfielder, maybe 2. Can't believe we didn't sign 1 more midfielder, even on loan until January to cover Diarra and Kashi, and could re-assess in Jan.
Absolutely no doubt we are going to rely on 15/16 players. If the midfield can stay injury free, we should finish top 6 minimum, couple of injuries and we are going to be in trouble.1 -
Just turned over to Sky for no particular reason. Jeez, that yellow skirt is not flattering...1

But you specifically said that anyone who thinks Lookman will still be here haven't been paying any attention in the past 2 years.cafc4life said:

So now you look stupid and yet again instead of holding your hands up and saying I got it wrong you lash out. So put your dummy back in your mouth, your toys back in your pram and behave yourself5 -
I'm surprised none of our young strikers have gone out on loan.
Hanlon, Aherne-Grant and Umerah will struggle to get much first team game time0 -
Still don't honk Diarra is a CB, he is a midfielder who can, but will not need to with the current team, fill in there.
Assuming he gets back to full fitness he is a shoe in for a defensive midfielder role with Foley in particular who is only contracted until January I think, leaving.
Konsa did what I thought was a great job at right back against Bolton until I saw the replay of their goal where he may not of been the only person at fault but was out of position.
But with Bauer and Teixara available at centre back with Lenkon in reserve, there aren't going to be many starts for Konsa there if we are going to mostly stick with the same side until injury or loss of form.
The new loaner Frank, would surely start if fit too add some legs into midfield.
Jackson can play alongside him, or Crofts, but I think the width in midfield may have to be Lookman or Holmes.
Both look better in a central role behind the strikers.
We could really use a handy winger if one comes up in a free.
That said if Ademola can get more game time on the left, Holmes as a replacement for gudmonsson on the right Diarra and Frank mostly through the middle, it may not be ideal but with a back four of Solly, Teixara, Bauer and Fox (Dillon and Rudd making it 5) with Magennis, Ajose, Hanlan, Novak changed around depending on firm, fitness and opposition strength, that's a squad that would cause most league 1 opposition to be very worried.
I've omitted Chicksen as well I realise. Probably could mat come up with paltry pun.1 -

He normally favours the suit and yellow tie.5 -
Agree. Think you can add Muldoon, maybe Charles-Cook, to that list too.killerandflash said:I'm surprised none of our young strikers have gone out on loan.

That transfer window was much better than I expected.
Still a long way off what was required but not fearing relegation at least...2 -
Don't forget Botaka as another winger. He may not have impressed on first impressions, but presumably has something about him. Foley can also cover RB if we get more bodies available in midfieldAlwaysneil said:Still don't honk Diarra is a CB, he is a midfielder who can, but will not need to with the current team, fill in there.
