More 1 in & 1 out. If it happens it will be 3 in & 2 out.MarcusH26 said:Personally if we're letting Tanto go I'd still want another striker in the building, Godden is still working his way back and Leaburn you can't tell how long he's going to stay fit for. Another pacey option that can run in behind would be a a bonus.
As has been said on other threads, it doesn't seem like they want to spend much money & relegation wouldn't be a disaster. If that is the case then I'll see you at Wycombe, Burton & Bromley next season

No doubt he has pace and can shoot with either foot, but he’s much more of an attacking midfielder who can also play out wide than a striker or winger.WSS said:Can Fullah be that pacy forward as well?
I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Carey both in the team like the second half on Tuesday. It would give him the freedom to stay higher up the pitch, support the striker, drift wide etc, rather than risk making mistakes in deeper positions.1 -
Leaburn, Kelman, Dykes, Godden and TC as forwards is enough in my opinion.3
-
On paper, but it’s too much of a risk when TC is sometimes needed elsewhere, Godden is only just coming back from a long term injury and Leaburn has had a few serious injuries already in his career so far.cafcsinger said:Leaburn, Kelman, Dykes, Godden and TC as forwards is enough in my opinion.14 -
TC shouldn't be needed elsewhere though. If we had more depth in the left side of defence, TC would have played the entire season as a wide forward.Scoham said:

There’s a (most likely bollocks) tweet linking us to a player from Sporting B called Salvador Blopa. They also say Sheffield Wednesday are linked and have made a huge amount of tweets in the last hour or so. A rumour is a rumour though4

18 year old FB/WB who can also play as a winger on either side. Doesn't sound like the type we'd be after in our position.fenaddick said:There’s a (most likely bollocks) tweet linking us to a player from Sporting B called Salvador Blopa.

Tanto not been given a chance bits and prices .. if there was a pole during the season most fans would vote for Kelman and Tanto given an extended run in the side unfortunately Kelman got injured but Tanto had not let us down and deserved better especially when others have been so poor yet still get picked ..

Other the Godden, none of the others are prolific, which has been our problem.cafcsinger said:Leaburn, Kelman, Dykes, Godden and TC as forwards is enough in my opinion.1 -

It's possible with Chambers in the side we could switch to four at the back. This would enable TC to play as a winger while still keeping two strikers. Something like this.

All typical cloak and dagger stuff from Managers, pretending that we're not signing someone, all to respect the parent club of course... I for one can't wait to welcome him to the Big League!!MarcusH26 said:NJ has rubbished the Junior Ligue rumours. " Doesn't recognise the name"3 -

I wonder if Tanto leaving could see Mothersille arrive in a loan swap. If I recall correctly Jones was a fan and he’s not done great since his summer move.0

agree on the formation but i think we should be getting apter in the side on the wing to swing crosses in to either dykes or leaburn its jusr where does kelman then fit in? also clarke in the middle with ramsay at right back imoSouthbank said:It's possible with Chambers in the side we could switch to four at the back.

Nathan Jones would still like a bit of Bree.#cafc boss had some interesting comments on the Southampton defender, who didn't make their matchday squad last night.

Worst of all he has us playing at least 5/10 yards deeper which leaves gaps in midfield and isolated front two.RC_CAFC said:
Gillesphey will forever be a hero and I was backing him in league one when others weren’t, but he’s not up to it at this level. He nearly gave away a penalty, he gets out sprinted by any pace, he’s getting caught in possession and he just looks bereft of confidence.cafc_se7 said:
I honestly don’t understand the hate for Gillesphey! I actually thought he had a decent game last night. The goal he could do nothing about and his second half quick balls out to TC kept our attacks flowing. But it’s ok forget about Lloyd Jones dodgy header and the shit defending down Burke and Jones side for the goal, blame it on Gillesphey.RC_CAFC said:If he’s genuinely a left back, I would really suggest we alter our formation and go 4/5/1 4/3/3
It has the huge advantage of the fact our squad set up is far more suited AND we wouldn’t have to play Gillesphey.
He’s just not good enough to be a Championship starter.0 -
Can anyone confirm what NJ said in Cawley’s most recent post about Apter, Olaofe, Bree and if there is an option to extend Dykes’ deal?0

Article reads like some on the fringes such as those two could leave on loan if we can bring in better ourselves.ForeverAddickted said:Nathan Jones would still like a bit of Bree.#cafc boss had some interesting comments on the Southampton defender, who didn't make their matchday squad last night.

We have a big squad at the moment and if we want to bring in more quality then two or three will move. It’s just timing and being able to do that.1 -
Spending money doesn't necessarily mean the player will do well. We spent about 3.5m on Apter and Tanto, one is allegedly about to be loaned back to Stockport and the other couldn't get on the bench v Derby and is probably asking his agent to get him a loan as well. Probably our most successful signing so far is Carey and he was on a free.golfaddick said:

We need signings that will work well with what Jones demands, and we don't necessarily have to spend millions to get that.1 -

Feel like if if living is a fantasy land where we chuck £20m on one player is your route to happiness you're doomed to misery mateThe Red Robin said:
I’d be happy if we *could* spend that sort of money. The fact is we can’t.ForeverAddickted said:The Red Robin said:£20m from Wrexham on one player. Hope the owners are paying attention. Crocked loans and free agents aren’t competing.Would you be happy if Charlton splashed that sort of cash on a Striker with his record?Because for me the Scouts really need to have spotted something special that his stats arent showing.0 -

It's a tough decision when it comes to the formation. The primary reason to go four at the back - to me - would be to create a system where we have two out of TC / Apter / Fullah attacking defenders rather than worrying about defending. I don't see it making us more defensively solid, but there's a chance it improves our ability / options on the ball; although we have proven having more of the ball is not always a good thing for us! I think the majority of our CB options only really work in in a back three / five: Clarke, Bell, Gillesphey and Ramsay. Jones and Burke is the only pairing I'd trust and we cant rely on Burke to play consistently.
I have said elsewhere that there is a huge risk starting with a back four with an injury prone left back. It only needs Chambers to pick up an injury for it to mean Macca at LB, a change in formation, or a right sided player at LB. So for me unless we get another out and out LB in I'd stick with the five for now, with the four as an option later in the game.3 -
If we have the players to start a particular formation we shouldn’t worry about some one getting injured and having to change, deal with it if happens. I think peoples reasoning for not playing a back four is generally, we’d be too open. My question to that would be, and you don’t think we are already? If we were not letting in goals so easily at the moment I’d be more inclined to agree. I’d be going 4-3-3/4-5-1 and choose players based on how defensive you want to be.elbiglad said:
