I would expect Philogene, Zaroury and Giles would all be in line to start against Millwall, with Omur and Ohio off the bench.
Liam's delight.... I’m so delighted that Anass has agreed to join the club. He’s a player of proven pedigree at this level, having been a huge part of Burnley’s Championship-winning season. Anass is someone I’ve absolutely loved from the first time I saw him play and he’s going to give us so much quality from wide areas. He’s going to get fans off their seats. He’s a technical player who takes the ball, can go one-v-one and completely fits into our style of football. Credit to Acun and Tan for backing me. This signing sums up the ambition of the football club and where we want to get to.
Just a thought, but Jaden, Zaroury and Abdus are all comfortable wide right. Jaden,Zaroury, carvalho and Giles are all comfortable wide left, if we need a more defensive LB option we have Jacob who can hold his own defensively at least. There are probably more wide options now than at first glance.
Allsop Coyle Jones Greave Giles Morton Slater Zaroury Carvalho Jaden Tufan that’s what I’m expecting, providing Jaden is fit though to start
I'm not sure. Giles is the only one likely to have trained more than a day. Jaden might not be fit to start either.
Over and out..... While we're not done just yet, Hull City are. Acun Ilicali has confirmed the club's business is done and dusted. For me, that's a brilliant window. They've brought in some superb attacking talent, they've kept some big players and got rid of a few. They're stronger at the end than at the beginning, and that's always key. Now, over to you, Liam"
Zaroury played against Man City yesterday so he's not lacking match fitness. Think attacking players are easier to throw on at short notice. Carvalho for instance was only here a few days before starting.
Does anyone know what's going on with Xavier Simons? I heard he was injured and returned to the club but not sure how long he's out for or if he's expected to go back.
Maybe, but can they fit a defensive shape off the cuff and start in a new system? Recon Giles and Sharp start Milwall and Ohio, Abdus, Zaroury off the bench? Dunno. But I'd be surprised If the Millwall squad wasn't significantly different to the say, Huddersfield squad in a couple of weeks time.
Think he's just rehabbing here. Pretty sure the club would have announced a termination of loan, bit like us with Delap. They're paying a fee and proportion of wages. What reason would we have to cancel?
Zaroury is already well rehearsed at playing in a system like ours he could well be in the starting line up.
On paper it's a absolutely fantastic and almost near perfect window, acun & tan have absolutely smashed it out the park.....over to LR and his staff now to do their bit! Roll on the remainder of the season
The signings look good, I just hope they gel well enough with the rest of the squad. Fingers crossed that we give Millwall a good bumming on Saturday.
Typical City syndrome does dictate a probable loss and Honeyman scoring the winner. But let's hope not.
I don’t think it will be wholesale changes Allsop Coyle Jones Greaves Giles Jaden Morton Slater Zaroury Carvalho Tufan With Ohio and Omar making cameos after 70 mins.
While that's true, I think there's a question of familiarity with the rest of the team. Presumably he'll train tomorrow. Is that enough to then start the following day? Not sure myself, but LR does often throw these big signings in straight away. Did it with Twine and Carvalho both very soon after signing.
