I wonder if the Oscar deal was done before Davis binned us, giving us no time to get anyone else.
All the signings was announced in usual fashion and dragged on, however all their video clips were done in daylight. So it’s possible everything was sorted hours/days ago. Acun just thought it would be great for last minute.com

It's quite difficult to pick a strongest XI now, which is a good sign in itself. Based on how Liam has us playing in the first few games I wonder if the plan is something like this:

Flat 442 when defending, then switching to a 352 when in possession. Playing Twine in front of a very attacking fullback in Vinagre should allow him to drift inside and play more centrally. Whilst the pacey Philogene can stay high and wide on the other side. Christie has said himself he feels his best position is the right of a back 3 and playing this way allows him to do so. Would be harsh to drop Coyle but i'm not sure he can play the inverted role.

The bench will still have the likes of Morton, Traore, Tufan, Lokilo, Ally, Vaughan maybe even Sinik on it. So it's not like we're short of quality.


Morton on the bench? i think he may be here with a stipulation he plays, i think Klopp would not have let him come here on loan if he was not going to be a regular.

That would mean that they dont play dominoes if France Geo... Davis deal was dead days ago, as c club Oscar was our player and we had every right to say its off, he was only supposedly having a medical yesterday..
 
Rosenior on Morton


He was our first choice and we’ve had to wait a long time to get it done but I’m delighted it’s finally happened.

OR... we could have bought someone that would do that role, who would still be here next season instead of having to start the process all over again when he went back..

No idea why they let any names into the public domain until everything has been agreed. When the signings dont materialise, it just leaves a load of fans unnecessarily disappointed.

Pleased for Oscar that he's gone...Good luck to him....He never quite achieved the potential he showed early doors. Having no striker doesn't worry me...Who remembers the great Dutch team in the 70's? Its called total football.
A 26 year old striker, second season bound to get better, loved being here... go figure..!!!... if we had to see him to free up money for Philogene you have to assume we had to pay up in full immediately ...

The teams who have been recently unexpectedly promoted from the championship (like Forest) or have punched above their weight and forced themselves into the payoffs (like Coventry)have done so because theyve exploited the loan market.
It doesnt matter if they return to their parent clubs next season if they help you achieve promotion this season.

They can prepare in advance with the clips, but actually getting the transfers over the line is often a last minute thing as selling clubs will want to get replacements in place.

Yeah maybe, just seems odd they’d do a video clip in a city tracksuit saying how pleased they are to be here etc. Without actually signing, meanwhile Rosie won’t talk about other teams players.
