We obviously can't do a lot in Jan so its about wheeling and dealing again; Akintola out - Kamara in - why not he's better than Akintola and might thrive in this attacking team Palmer out - #10 in - as per recent reports Amir out - Zambrano in - if we can cancel the loan it will help in a couple of areas. Zambrano can be either a loan or perm then whatever the EFL allow. Need a more natural 6. CB in - We would have to do something like the Gyabi deal, massive sell on and young enough to fit under the quota. However it think we might muddle through until summer. GK - PL loan to challenge Pander
I have no idea what Akintola is earning but moving him on would depend on someone being willing to take over his contract. Kamara could cover his place as a winger and the extra attacking midfielder Serg wants, I actually think Kamara would probably be better off playing centrally in the advanced midfield role anyway. But we probably have no recall nor can we afford to cover his wage this season else he wouldn’t have been moved out. I really do not think Zambrano will come here this window. A centre half would most likely be an older head not getting games, probably on loan with us covering a portion of wages. Goalkeeper will probably be a similar case unless there’s an up and coming Rushworth type available who’s parent club really just wants their player to get games at a good level.
How different thing would’ve been if we’d not gone into the embargo and we had signed Lewis O’Brien instead
He’d add some mobility and athleticism on and off the ball but isn’t he just a better version of Slater? In fact, he’s been playing as a number 10 a lot for Wrexham and was utilised the same way by Swansea last season.
Sure, but if you have a half-decent jacket but no pairs of jeans, do you go out and buy a new, more expensive and nicer jacket or do you buy a pair of jeans?
Can’t be having Kamara back, nowhere near the level of Belloumi or Gelhardt. I think Palmer will leave and we’ll replace with a #10. Other than that I can’t see much else we’ll do if we’re still stuck with the one in one out or can we recall a loan and then sell?
