    Not as late as me.... I've no gen, but I'm happy other posters are excited about two loans that should add quality... a friend of mine isn't happy with loans <laugh>

    Same Butnley fan on Fofana:


    Don't think any fans would have him back. He' was a 'one magical moment every 3 games' kind of player. And as I said, his attitude was terrible. There's a bit in Mission to Burnley where he nearly came to blows with Cullen because Cullen called him out for running off the pitch after we lost rather than clapping the travelling fans and his response was pretty much 'I don't care, i needed a p*ss'.

    That said, I could easily see him ripping up the Championship because he has every physical and technical attribute to be a very, very good.

    Fofana is probably okay in the PL but one of those that could tear it up in the champ

    I don't know much about Mepham. How good is he and what are his strengths mate?

    I'd be keeping Triantis until Jan. Leaving ourselves short even with the lad from Bournemouth coming in

    Feel like we have about 10 plates spinning (ins and outs) if all these rumours are to be believed.

    I disagree but respect what you're saying, 6 centre backs before we take into account 21's

    Alese = injured
    Seelt = injured
    Ballard = not the greatest injury record
    O'Nien
    Hjelde = unproven
    Mepham

    So, we'd effectively have 3 fit centre half options with one shaky backup option who will also be expected to cover left back.

    Feels one short for me. Especially when the CBs will be expected to cover full back positions

    Exactly how PL loan opportunities should be used.
