    Got some gossip……apparently rak saki is still talking to Charlton he does not want to go to Burnley he wants us but palace want him to go to Burnley apparently he could sign by Tuesday this is going by some one who knows rak saki
    Sounds like Ronnie Moore (and he has signed up as a new member). one to be ignored.
    That’s 100% Ronnie Moore.

    Can tell by the way his messages read.

    Win tonight. Sign JRS. Smash Preston. Finish the season unbeaten with zero injuries in a season.

    A man can dream.
    In 24hrs behind on this thread and gonna have to skip 1,000+ posts, but this nugget of genius seemed to inflict a curse

    lost, didn’t sign JRS, picked up some likely season-long injuries. 

    Just got ‘getting smashed by Preston’ left to come to complete the full house of Canters Curse 
    Yeah I really fucked it. Should never have got excited. I'm the reason we can't have nice things. Been overdue a bit of abuse on here... dont deserve to be happy.

    Palmer of Luton looks a good player strong and fast. Cm 
    Made in Sparrows lane. Chelsea, vermin that they are, pinched him off us when he was about 16/17. 

    He went for decent money to Bristol City, but his career trajectory seems to be down the leagues rather than up now. Fancy Luton to do well this season but not the sort of player we should really be looking at, turning 30 soon and just signed permanently for them in L1.

    I don’t think Mills can make the transfer until January anyway??

    He can, they had originally agreed that he would be going in Jan but that’s changed.

    So we have one fit central defender in LJ.

    presumably we now need 2 central defenders ?

    Maybe Ronnie Moore is JRS agent.

    Mesik has played there, although it might have been as part of a back three. Edwards played on the left of a back three in Scotland. And obviously Amari'i Bell has played on the left of a back three.

    I expect Mesik and Bell to start on Saturday, although I'm not sure in which order. That being said, unless we bring someone new in, it looks like we won't have a CB on the bench.

    It's a shame we don't still have Gough around. I don't fault the decision to loan him out at all, and the club clearly see him as a CM in the future, but he would come in handy right now. Can play CB and played on the left of a CB pairing in pre-season, which we need with Jones being right sided.

    I expect one CB in, maybe a loan or a free, before the window shuts. It's stupid unlucky to lose both your CBs at the same time, we do still have some cover, albeit not ideal cover, there.

    A word for those who built the squad. Having versatile players can really come in handy.

    Mesik said when joining his preferred position was CB but at the time we had loads. Now we dont. 
    I think that was in a 3 though. 

    I'm sure on Saturday we'll see him and Bell starting, but with Jones and Mcnamara also playing we don't really have any bench cover at all. 

    No doubt Asiimwe will be on the bench, maybe one of the under 21s too

    Seeing as @stjohnshill told us earlier we’re possibly looking at getting a striker in is this because we now want to send Mbick out on loan again?

    Personally I’d still keep Kanu as long as could convince him to sign a new contract although I know that won’t be easy.
    Could be that Godden is worse than anticipated.
    Multiple weeks currently. This was the risk resigning him sadly

    I am a bit gutted about JRS, but I have to be honest, I've learned now to just keep schtum a bit and trust in Jones.

    If you look at all the big money (for us) signings we have made, almost every single one of them has flopped. Charlie Kirk, Igor Vetokele (injuries), Ronnie Schwartz, Nicky Ajose, Rob Apter, Harvey Knibbs, Charlie Kelman (admittedly still have a bit of faith here), Diallang Jaiyesimi and I am probably forgetting a few. 

    All our most impactful players over the years have been freebies, cheap fees (May, Lyle?), Loans or academy lads. 

    It's disappointing and I hope it still happens, but I could name about 30 players in even recent history who I have wanted us to sign and they never really did much. 

    Still a lot of positives this window 👍🏻
    After last summer, I can entirely understand caution about spending money. It's extraordinary how few of last season's signings have come off

    When you think of our mainstay players now, more of them are from our L1 team  - TC, Leaburn, Ramsay, Jones, Coventry, plus Edwards (hopefully) and Godden (maybe) - than from last season's signings - Carey, Bell, and Kelman (maybe).  

    Kelman - done okish, without ever really establishing himself as our leading striker
    Tanto - flop, loaned out twice
    Apter - loaned out last January, likely to be pushed out again
    Knibbs - fringe player
    Kaminski - did ok without being brilliant, then fell out with Jones
    JRC - squad player, not trusted by NJ
    Burke - always injured

    Then in January
    Sichenje - looked promising, but a series of serious injuries

    Leaving the 2 successes, Carey and Bell, both relatively unheralded free transfers.

    Isn't it all meant to unravel in November?

    I’ve seen a photo and he’s lost loads of bulk. I wouldn’t have recognised him.

    @RonnieMoore said that he was back in full training and available just yesterday.

    Depends if Koumetio is weeks or months . 
  • So frustrating. One of the main things I was excited about from the window was having depth in defence (although admittedly sounds boring when you say it like that!). Cannot face another season of square pegs in round holes and our form taking a dive as a result. So unlucky to have three defenders go down within the first few weeks of the season. Have to hope Josh really is back soon and Ramsay not too far behind.

    Personally didn't want to re-sign him for that reason but hard to ignore that pedigree he has.

    Don't suppose you know for sure what positions have been made a priority given recent regulations?
