Can't see us buying both Hendrick and Mason, it will be one or the other. Agree with OLM if we only have 4 coming in, one of which is a goalkeeper, we will have to be very lucky with injuries and suspensions to reach January without a problem.

Elmo was knackered at RB by the end on Saturday, that's why he was beaten so easily by Rooney for the goal. We need a RB, a LW/RW, a LB, a ST and a couple of CMs. Looks fairly likely that the only players we'll get in are CMs and a GK. Hendrick is a good player and Henriksen looks like an exciting prospect, Mason would also be an improvement on what we have. I'd definitely be after Brady as he would cover both the LB spot and the LW, could even play up front if needed. That still would leave us needing another striker and RB. Signing four players isn't going to be enough.
 
I would say on this occasion that Burnsy is wrong about the predicted number of signings we will bring in. He also added that caveat to cover his information if it's wrong.

My 'prediction' is 6.
 
Henrikson has all the attributes required to joint the greats of this club such as Davis, Ashby and Eliot. Hendricks is borderline. Mason no chance.

2 medicals due @HullCity today. I'm presuming one is Marshall. Not sure on other. 4 signings is current expectation. [HASHTAG]#hcafc[/HASHTAG]

It will be a minor miracle if we can remain competitive until January with only four additions.

We've lost 4 players, 1 of which, Jaraldo Martin was not a regular first team player, plus 2 loans from Arsenal, total 6. So to sign 4 players wouldn't be an issue for me, I'd rather have quality over quantity, and when all said and done we'll be playing fewer league matchs this season.

The problem is the long term injuries. Daws would normally start, as would Odubajo, and Greegsy. Alex wouldn't

So 4 plus a loan signing, total 5, would just about be okay providing the injury list doesn't get worse, and we don't lose anybody in this window. We'd only be 1 worse off in overall numbers and I can't see the club making permanent signings to cover injuries.

Oh I thought as a loan, we'd never be able to buy him. I'd heard Palace were looking at him on loan so I figured we would offer a decent option.

Chelsea surely don't put players in the shop window. They're too big for that. Moses playing at the weekend means he's going nowhere.
