Sol Campbell, or Nobby Solano?

Shola confirmed that he is the designated penalty taker this season.

We'll pass it about, wear them down, then go for the jugular. 4-0. Shola, Carroll, S. Taylor, Xisco.

It'll be Simpson RB, Taylor RW

Like I said after West Brom, the players are comparatively fitter, faster and more skilful in this division. We'll boss the midfield whoever we play, and we can play out of the back, so if we get a good final ball and finish on a regular basis, we'll coast games and win this league. Defensively, we'll always look shaky with set pieces but the finishing isn't as good in this league so we'll get away with it more often. Just don't fucking sell anyone else!

We had the better I think. Although we do dominate, Reading do have the odd good spell. Jonas much improved this week, but Enrique was player of the first half. Shola is my FF captain and I have Enrique too

Moat and Ashley are sitting next to each other

Shola to score his first hat-trick today

Like what is the point of keeping Geremi and Xisco if we are never going to use them.

We probably haven't even signed Simpson yet. Registration held back until club sold or something.

Godsmark has score for Hereford again.

No. 55 minutes.

Looks like we missed out not moving for Shearer's target Ched Evans.

Welcome to your relegation season Hull City

I don't think the club see Taylor as a right back at all, so Simpson will go straight into the team given that he is our only right back.

I don't think this is a good transfer for us or Fulham. They aren't getting the PL player you'd expect for £4m plus wages, while the earning of £4m plus saved wages is not going to make up for the revenue loss if we don't go back up. It really is lose-lose.

Why would you not want to play our best player?

Was the Chelsea team something Arnesen has put together, or was it just a normal local boy line-up for Chelsea?

I think he'll start. Harper Simpson S.Taylor Coloccini Enrique R.Taylor Barton Smith Jonas Nolan Ameobi I'd say Baton, Shola and Carroll all have an equal 66% chance of starting, hard to say who Hughton will go for.

He only played five games for them on loan

The players I'd look at are: Left backs: Gibbs (Arsenal) Armand Traore (Arsenal) Fabio (Man Utd) Centre Backs: Jack Cork (Chelsea) Hutchinson (Chelsea) Ben-Haim (Man City) Dervitte (Spurs) Right Backs: Gilbert (Arsenal) Right Wing: Rose (Spurs) Dos Santos (Spurs) Left Wing: Bouazza (Fulham) Central Midfield: Merida (Arsenal) Lansbury (Arsenal) Baxter (Everton) Gibson (Man Utd) Boateng (Spurs) Bostock (Spurs) Strikers: Barazite (Arsenal) Simpson (Arsenal) Vaughan (Everton) Anichebe (Everton) Obviously it will depend on who stays and goes, but I'd look at: Ben-Haim - good no nonsense defender who has been stuck in reserves due to bad luck recently Bouazza - unwanted in the Premier League, but a good Championship winger with experience of promotion pushes Dos Santos - speedy striker who can double up on the wing Merida - midfield creativity. We would then line up like: Krul Simpson Taylor Ben-Haim Enrique Guthrie Smith Merida Dos Santos Bouazza Carroll or in an ideal world anyway...

Well we are officially on the loan market that is now clear. Am I right in thinking 5 loans are allowed? Anyhow, who would be on your loan shortlist, and which four would you try to go for?
