Sage said:Prepared to have many non-believers, and that’s fine by me. But having been announced this morning, I’ll now say who the three names were mentioned to me yesterday.
First person mentioned was Dennis Srbeny, Norwich striker, but he’s more of an out an out striker, nothing like Leko, so I was thinking if it’s him, we must be bringing in another striker soon as well. He’d change our style of play a little bit and we need pace in the team.
Second player was Andre Green, this is where the non-believers come in. I was hoping for Keinan Davis, as mentioned in a couple of my previous posts. So I asked if they said Green because of him playing for Villa as well, they said “No, it’s what I’ve been told”. So I thought, okay that wouldn’t be a bad signing. Similar to Leko but more concerned he hadn't even started a game for Preston this season, why?
The final name was Matej Vydra, and that’s who I was hoping for this morning to be completely honest. Not disappointed about Green, because I think he could be an exciting signing, but he has to adjust to playing up front and Vydra has the record in this league already and has rarely played for Burnley. I also know Dyche quite likes us and Bow’s, so it seemed a good fit. Have found out this morning that Vydra’s just had a baby, so maybe we were/are in for him, but that could happen later in the window? I don’t know.
Either way, I’m glad Green is through the door even if he can’t be involved tomorrow. If I get anything else mentioned to me, which isn’t expected, and even if I get shot down with things on here, I’ll try to pass on what I can.

You were way way out with you prediction that it would be announced "around 10am" but otherwise all good : - )
Maybe one or both of the others will still come, we shall see.

I guess the good thing is that it gives us an option of a 4231 or 433 with Williams pushing wide left. Hope it works out well obviously, seems a decent player.

Is this an RD or ESI signing I wonder? Wish him all the best but his record isn’t fantastic and he’s had an injury or two - including a dodgy toe.Feels a little like a League 1 signing rather than Championship but as always, total faith in Gallen.1

When we have been at our best over the last 18 months we have played with split strikers and a false 9.
Players described as wingers now and normally either wide strikers, what Bowyer wants, or wide midfielders. A lot of people would still class Salah, Mane, Sterling etc as wingers.

I completely disagree with you that Bowyer wants "wide strikers". We haven't seen that style at all. We signed Leko and played him as a striker, I am expecting the same with Green. I do class Mane, Sterling etc as wingers, and most of the time those players play as wingers in a 4231 or 433, but that isn't how we have ever played under Bowyer.

If we're planning on signing 3 in total (Green +2), would that be 2 perm signings and we are keeping Kayal or 1 replacement for him and 1 person in to boost numbers?0

Yeah definitely think we will see a CM signed in the next week to replace Kayal. Later in the window I think we will buy 1 or 2. I still think ESI will want to make some sort of statement of intent.7

Football positions are for every changing that's why you can't just be a winger in the modern game. You have to be able to have a defensive side to your game or otherwise you spend more time on the bench and come on as an impact player.
Would love to see either Williams, Taylor and Bonne together or Green, Taylor and Bonne so we have pace and movement.
May just be a pipe dream but we live in hope.1 -

Watch Liverpool play and Famino plays much deeper than a 9. It's the same as when Pep was at Barca and used Pedro and Villa with Messi in the middle.

No stirring of my loins to the announcement of Andre green loan move to the addicks. Seems like a Roly signing imo. Still cutting his costs even though he's on his way out. Or is he ?1

Any proper rebuilding would be best done in the summer
Of course the risk is that we end up rebuilding in League One again but that may be where we spend a bit this month to try and reduce that risk0 -

Look I will back Green and for obvious reasons I hope the fella does brilliant. I am not criticising him at all, I just think it's a huge risk to ask him to play in an unfamiliar role. We are in a battle and come the end of the season he will be criticised if he hasn't scored 5+ (and gets a run of games). Actually I feel that would be unfair as he's not a striker.

Green isn’t an RD signing, nor is he an ESI signing. He’s a Bowyer and Gallen signing.
RD is still legally the owner and the one releasing the money, but it’s ESI giving the main go ahead. Gallen doing all the leg work as per, with Bowyer sealing the deals.
As far as I know, we are aiming to sign another striker this month, it won’t just be Green. At least we hope. Which when ESI are officially confirmed (very soon, I hope tomorrow but that’s not any info just my hope) they’ll ensure we are competitive in this January market, without spending ridiculous sums.29 -

I’d be surprised if that was a loan though.

Unless it's a signing from Hong Kong Pegasus
Not sure if he's from London originally though, Wiki says he was born in Fanling so could be wrong
