    I am assuming we bring a cb and rw.  I am also assuming Kanu and Apter will be either loaned or sold.  So it looks like asiimwe, Burke and Doc are fighting for the last spot.  Who would you choose.  Our defense looks thin given injury history so an argument can be made for Burke but it might be good to have a more defense minded mid in certain occasional situations.  Or does Jones bring in a surprise third signing at CF or a box yo box mid?

    You are hinting at George Dobson, aren't you?  ;)

    Get Bindon and Otto in the door.
    Been 30 years since Ricky played for us, legs have probably gone now.
    The day he tore it up for us whilst a Dutch umpa band played in the stands, one of the great and odd memories this club has given me.
    They said on Radio London we are on target for 132 points this season.
    We said 138
    Sorry Louis must be going mutton! either that or I was semi-comatose after the interminable piece on Millwall which went on (and on!) for about half an hour (how long would they have given them if they had won?). Until finally they got around to Charlton and grudgingly allowed you about four minutes, just when I was getting out the car.

    I hope we sign Bindon. I liked the look of him at Reading and also, given his mum was women's football coach at UCLA, he would probably be the first Addick to actually know where in LA I grew up (Culver City). Big boon for me. And that's what matters (that and we need another CB with Collins probably out for a long time and Burke unreliable). 
    I've been called an unreliable burke too.

    Box to box that’s not Dobson

    Dobson's off to Leicester anyway in a player+ cash deal for Harry Souttar so I think we can rule that one out.

    Bizarre. Surely he’s better than League One.

    Was also linked with Wednesday earlier in the window as well.

    Maybe it’s more about money for him.

    Hope not.. can do without someone flying in giving away needless fouls because been caught out of position. And then slows the ball down when he receives it. 
    Fouls committed per 90 last season:

    Coventry: 1.7
    Dobson: 1.2

    All three linked with us, played for us or both at some point.

    I’m amazed Elliot Lee is still at Wrexham. 
    They’ve got a similar problem to us albeit more extreme. They paid over the odds for players to play for them in leagues one and two, due to their rapid rise these players are just not good enough for the championship. 
    Now these players can’t be shifted because the wages they’re own can’t hope to be matched elsewhere.

    That move for Keillor-Dunn had to be the biggest waste of time for him, has played just seven times for them

    Surely we must be interested in getting Dobson back?

    Being chased by League One clubs...

    That's not us anymore!

    I’d have Dobson back if we can offload Docherty.  Coventry, him, Chalobah and Mwamba give us decent options

    No from me for Dobson 
    Mwamba and Cov works in the middle of the park. I think Ouma comes good when he’s up to speed, and will have Chalobah in and out the team through the season.

    Can still offload Doc and not need cover.

    He really isn’t Championship quality.

    Dobson is decent at what he does but he’s really not the type of midfielder we need to bring in. We need the playmaker who orchestrates the link between defence and attack. A player that makes us tick. Good on the ball and can pick a pass. That’s a tall order to find and afford but it’s certainly not Dobson.

    Alan Mwamba looks like he fits that bill quite well

    He’s 18 and not the answer at this point. Not week in week out anyway

    Don’t get it twisted, Dobson is a better player now than the one that left us. That being said I wouldn’t want them to block the pathway for Mwamba with a player like Dobson.

    I think he is - he played in a Wrexham side that finished just outside the playoffs last year. But what he's good at isn't what we need (or need more of) any more.

    Have to say, with Clarke at £2.5m or whatever it is - I really didn’t miss him playing for us when I saw him atoday. Works hard and has grit but not much else. 
    Certainly wouldn’t swap him for Danny Mac

    He’s 19 and turns 20 next month, though I agree we don’t want to overplay him.
