    Ah have just seen. Good news. Can BBD play on the right?

    Spot on with all this mind. Especially the bit of whoever scored this week is clearly better than our strikers if they failed to score this week!

    Add to it that he has in his head that we can sign any player we want because they are all affordable and would come without question it's only lack of ambition that stops us!

    Brereton would be a fantastic signing for us IMHO

    Isn’t it odd that on our left we have 4 players and currently 3 are injured with only 1 available (surprisingly Cirkin is the only fit one)

    On our right we have 2 players who never seem to be off injured and even a touch of flu or whatever didn’t stop Roberts from playing.

    I wouldn't get a right winger to play while Mundle and Tommy are injured because Adil is doing ok and when the lads come back we would have too many left wingers. A right winger who can play on the left might be good for cover but it’s not so urgent.

    If Alese is out for a long time then a LB who can cover RB might be needed although Onion can do that already.

    For me, we need the striker who can turn all the chances we create into a few goals. We regularly create loads of chances but rarely trouble the keeper (or is it that almost every keeper we play against has their best game ever against us)

    Isidor scores worldies, Mayenda gets lots of chances but doesn’t usually make the best out of them. The rest of the strikers can go apart from Abdullah (?) who we haven’t seen yet. That’s the area we are weakest in, midfield is top class, defence is strong, wings are good but scoring is lacking. How many times have we seen someone saying we are due to give a team a thrashing? With a Defoe/Bent/Philips type we would be giving other teams a hammering but as we are now we struggle. Isidor and Mayenda are both very very good but neither are the one always in the right place in the box to put the ball away.

    That’s my 2p anyway.

    Agree with all of this, but I'd go for a right back who can play on the left as we have Hume, O'Nien and even Hjelde who can cover on the left. Hume has close to no competition for his spot and perhaps a bit of competition would raise his levels. I'd have a look at Jonjoe Kenny, RB who can play on the left. Experienced in different leagues and has 6 months left on his contract so would probably only be a marginal fee.

    He can and has but is less effective than he is from the left or through the middle (at least he has been in his career to date).

    I don't really get what we're doing with squad building if we do bring BBD in, I have faith that the club know what they're doing but we've got a huge squad (even once Rusyn, Ba, Bennette, Jones, Johnson et al go out) with loads of options and depth in some profiles and then limitations in others. I like versatility and the Vale signing appeals on that basis but, although he can do a job, I don't think BBD is of a similar ilk and we'll still be having to look to bring in another out and out (aerially stronger) striker.

    Spot on
    The thing I like about Monty is that he posts his ****e, gets it off his chest then pisses off until the next game.

    I’m sure your intention is to be supportive of Monty and there may well be some truth in your observations but I’m not sure a footie forum is the place to be diagnosing neuro developmental conditions. I’d also be remiss not to point out that being autistic does not equate to “ not being all there” but is primarily a difference in cognitive processing that has relative strengths and weaknesses in comparison to neurotypical processing.

    We definitely started some without any centre halves!

    Not imo, he isn't a winger as such - he is best wide left in a 433 formation

    He scores goals but I would hate him playing RM for us

    Means we could only get one of BBD or Cannon.

    One loan slot left, linked with BBD, Cannon and Vinicius.

    I wouldn’t mind any of them and wouldn’t say no to any of them. So whoever comes I’d be happy with personally.

    He'd be signed to be the versatile forward though rather than the striker?
