In the defence of Rosenior it was clear Xav Simons needed some time to adjust to mens football. He was, and still is, highly rated by Chelsea staff but he looked a little behind the pace in his early games. The loan to fleetwood looks to have matured him and I like what I am seeing now. TLT is a weird one as he was well thought of by Donny and I expected him to be our number 2 this year behind the Panda. Talk of another keeper might seem him shipped out again, perhaps to a division higher.

Furlong looks way off, surely he is going out for a year to League 2.

Not really, Simons only played 12 times and was injured for most of the year, so the loan was pointless. But we kept Doch & Traore around, both will be on more and barely played them. We should've given their minutes to Simons.

TLT being the no.2 would be a complete waste, he needs to be playing and as a keeper that's very tough, so a loan is the best thing for him.
 
I’ve listened to the 1904 club so you don’t have to
  • Mehlem first of a couple this week, minimal fee
  • Another midfielder being looked at from South America
  • Work to do on Hughes, but believe we can sign him this week
  • Millar and McAteer ongoing
  • Stansfield maybe someone we look to loan towards end of window
  • Gut feeling is Seri goes
  • Still thinks Giles goes. Says there’s a willingness from both clubs, but City don’t want the negative PR right now
  • The only Fenerbahce link with any credibility is Crespo
  • Walter pushing really hard for a goalkeeper

the last point is the most obvious, he doesnt want our starting keeper to be pandur<ghost>

Maybe Rosenior knew a thing or two in his assessment of Pandur..
 
Giles is a strange one. "Willingness from both clubs"!! So the 'brains team's sign him. He doesn't get used to his strengths )or at all). We get a manager who has a style that suits him. He looks happy enough, well liked in the squad, and imo is showing more like what he's about. Odd?
