Mentions a striker 'with Championship experience'.

Young defence like. Yedlin 23, Lascelles 22, Mbemba 22 (allegedly), Lazaar 24. It would be good if they could form a solid defensive unit which was capable of replicating it in the Premiership. Would love a good settled defence for once.

We forget the time Sir Bobby played Brian Kerr on the right wing in the Champions League and against Liverpool don't we.

Atsu is quick Aye I know, I'm assuming (hoping) he is being signed to start on the bench though. I'm still hoping we are in the market for a proven winger.

We need it really, when you consider what our front 4 might be like at times. There is some pace there, but we could do with some genuine pace to add to it. The full backs being rapid is gonna be handy. I think we could do with a very quick AM/winger though. --------Ritchie--------Diame---------Perez -------------------Gayle/Mitro------------

I'm hoping any left winger we might bring in has pace as well. The more pace, the better.

Where does Perez fit in our team if he can find some form soon? I'm talking about our first choice lineup. Rafa favours the 4-2-3-1, but if we spend decent money on another winger then you would expect them to go in on the left of the 3. Would Diame playing deep, and Ayoze in the middle of the 3 work?

Final year of his contract.

I'd love to see an injection of pace, good wing play and crossing. It's hugely lacking. To stop looking lob sided and one paced would be great. I would take Stephen Glass back to be honest. Used to really like him.

Would be good if we get Atsu and Lazaar in this weekend, then we can hopefully concentrate on getting the two big ones in, a winger and striker.

He's 19 man. How can anyone question this decision? Even if he's not ready for this league yet, he's 19.

Anita or Gamez (if fit) at right back then, with Janmaat seemingly away?

He should be a good player in this league at least, and that is what matters right now. I think some people forget we're not in the Premiership now. Worry about that when we get back there.

Watmore plays like a headless chicken whenever I watch him. Runs around a lot, but does nowt with the ball and seems to play with his eyes closed.

Surely bullshit. Janmaat is obviously leaving now, but we have Anita, Gamez, and we could easily get away with playing someone else at right back if desperate. Rafa starting Anita at right back today, and not even putting Janmaat on the bench, surely confirms that he has decided Anita is gonna be one of his right backs now.

You knew what I meant

If we sign a decent left sided AM/winger, Perez is gonna struggle to get into our best team, which is mental when you consider there has apparently been interest from some big clubs for double figure fee's.

He's still utter shit. If he can put in a 7/10 at this level if we can't get rid of them though, he might be of some use here and there. Ideally we will sign a winger and Gouffran won't be in our 18 man match day squad.

It might be worth keeping him as a squad player if he is only worth peanuts in the transfer market, and he can put a decent shift in at this level. He is useless in the Premiership of course.

I would agree for an outfield player, but if we were playing against a lot of teams in this league we could have got punished today for his flapping. I'm not sure we can afford to fuck about when playing away from home against physical teams.

If we go back up, he is a player who could still be a huge asset in the Premiership for us. He has been Palace's top scorer in the last few seasons (from what I believe anyway), and it seems he has been lumped up top on his own when Palace were desperate since they got promoted. At worst, he could be a good option from the bench in the Premiership when needing a goal (and not thrown up top on his own). Maybe he could even score goals in that league alongside Mitrovic.

As much as I don't like to make such comparisons, he's gonna be our Defoe. When he's on the pitch, we are a lot more likely to score. One or two chances, goal.

Darlow Gamez Hanley Clark Dummett Shelvey Colback Aarons Diame? (match fitness?) Perez Mitrovic

Mitro should rack some assists up this season alongside Gayle. They should be absolutely perfect for each other.
