    would defo take Gilbert on a free can take set pieces and would be a lot more creative then Carey or knibbs in the ten.
    Yes, he would be, but:
    1) Too much to get done on last day. We can only now clinch deals already pencilled in
    2) With limited slots, I would hope for someone better than Gilbert
    3) If we had Gilbert, there would be no room for Rankin-Costello.

    And when/if our CB's are back fit he's able to play U21 football or go back out to non league

    I don't want him here but Gilbert doesn't need to be done today as he's a free agent

    It makes sense but I’d question if he’s Championship standard.

    Unless we’re signing a 19yr old wonderkid and doesn’t count towards squad registration opposed to cleary can’t see a single L1 winger that would improve us

    Neither is Asiimwe though, Laq is effectively just a body to use in an emergency. He did ok in his few minutes against Birmingham last season too, playing out of position. Not saying that means he's up to standard but that he didn't seem overawed

    They probably think that lots of them performed better than Apter did there last season.

    For me - I would like to see a RW and someone who can play in this 10 role.. I don't think we have anyone that is really suited to that role.

    Only Knibbs Grant and Carey …. Knibbs was excellent in pre season and really linked up well with Grant very unlucky not to start the season 
    They are not a natural number 10. They are players that playing as 10! 
    We don’t need a traditional ten in this system. 
    We don't play with a ten.
    NJ will never play with a ten.
    We do not need a ten
    Suspend any poster who mentions the 10 position from now on.

    19 so doesn't take up a squad space

    Great signing for the future. Maybe not one to impact now, also whenever I’ve seen him he’s played on the left. 

    Wouldn’t count to squad rules which is a bonus

    Might be a possibility that this is a bonus and we might even loan him back for the season? Rather than this being our winger signing 

    I think it’s a great signing but we still need a right winger for this season

    That's a bit of a wtf signing, don't think he's particularly highly rated at Wimbledon and that's at a club where their academy doesn't tend to produce much for first team level

    Nkeng has had loads of club after him, including Nottingham Forrest and QPR. Very excited about this one, could be a great player for the future.

    Sounds like he can play as a Winger or a Wing-Back... Could be a better alt. option over on the right instead of Apter as backup

    Was rumoured to be going QPR and forest earlier in the window for around 850k-1M definitely one for the future although he’s mainly played as a fullback/Wingbsck opposed to a winger

    Maybe he's better than I thought! Others certainly seem more hot on this transfer than me

    Nottingham Forest and Serie A side Lecce contacted Wimbledon about Nkeng this summer, but Charlton are confident of landing the skilful winger in what will be a coup for the Addicks. #cafc #nffc #afcw #afcwimbledon #DeadlineDay

    He’s definitely highly rated there. He’s in a bit of a tricky spot because they play 3-5-2 and he’s a winger. I’ve seen him play a few times and he’s definitely a player with a lot of potential, very good 1v1 dribbler 

    It’s great work by the club really. If TC kicks on and is sold in a couple of years then it will be Nkeng’s time to step up

    Got to be a bonus for the future signing as opposed to someone to make an immediate impact? Handy being 19 so he doesn't take up a squad space.
