[Fly Me To The Moon]

What’s exciting (hopefully) that if we get either a midfielder or a striker (and really we need both) and they’re NOT Ellis Simms, then there isn’t the slightest clue who it could be. Zero other links whatsoever

Other side of coin is we get no one at all

yep and I don’t think that’s a foregone conclusion. This regime has shown reluctance to bring anybody in unless they’re right for the project. Will be interesting to see if we have to break that (and are willing to) and end up signing somebody we wouldn’t have expected to be considered any day other than deadline day

We need a striker. It’s a must.

It’s not a case of “it’ll be nice to have one, but so be it if not”. It’s an absolute must.

yeh I agree, which is why it will be interesting to see if we have to break any of our self-defined “rules” to get one

What if there isn't the right one available? Or the fees asked are ridiculous?

Would you be happy if the club bought in a complete unknown from L1 or L2, just to fill the space ?

We cant sign loans after the window closes or recall loads. There is the emergency loan which can be used for GKs so if patto was to get injured I think we would be allowed to bring someone in on loan

I wasn't quite sure if loans had an extension after the window shut. Cheers

Just to break the edge a bit. It took me a while

I think they stopped that about 20 years ago

30% tear to the achilles tendon out for the season but expected to heal fully in time for preseason.

I pick up on that as well which hopefully mean contract talk well on the way and will only be held up by the injury itself.

 

[Best uncapped Keeper]

Has James Garner been playing for Everton? If they fancy loaning us him they can keep Simms

isn't he a bit of a maverick or did you find him in the Rockford Files?
