Literally no one to promote from the u21/reserves either. Im surprised we didn't sign more in the summer or since to pad out the reserves. Has to be a focus from now until September, then going forward.

Another example of us being mentioned as interested to pressure other clubs to pull the trigger?

Say something vague enough you have the ability to be right or wrong but saving face at the same time.

Ah Luke, never change.

Wonder how great he feels being a "back up option". Guess if the money is still plentiful and important, he is probably fine with it.

Exactly this. He was always in the starting line up prior to his injury problems. It's about not breaking what is working right now. He will get back in soon. Likewise Isak. The chance will come and if they seize it they will likely be back in the starting line up more regularly.

Thankfully not a wonderfully credible source and we appointed Dawson!

This is big thing. I do see Gordon offering lots of what Gallagher does and if we are getting Maddison now or the summer, between what we have already and those two I don't know that Gallagher is needed. He is pretty versatile and offers lots of useful attributes, just not next level ones imo. Bit like Gordon though there is raw potential if our coaching staff can harness it. We do have people capable of hitting from a distance in ASM, Bruno, Schar and even Almiron. It just hasn't helped oppositions have started being much tighter defensively and how they approach us has limited space. The addition of Gordon and even someone like Gallagher to create more space will help that. Whether we improve our wayward shot attempts who knows.

Weren't we just rumoured to be bringing him back here in the youth set up?... darn.

Possibly. Given the timing I would have thought Fulham wanted both though.

I preferred yesterday's optimism and news to today's so far. Expect we will have a lot of deals thrown at us tomorrow. Possibly another exit with Fraser or more.

That is pretty big then. With Joe and ASM potentially cover too we should be fine.

And we are not worried about bringing another striker in for cover? LOL. On the upside. Better than going backwards and training less. I guess we shall see how his body holds up.

Not too worried who we bring in, provided we do bring someone in!

Plus he can be back up cover up front which we need. Doesn't look like we are bringing in anyone that's really played up front.

Have to balance after we spunk another 55m on Maddison

Read conflicting reports on his pace. He is either slower than Shelvey or has a deceptive turn of pace given his size. Same was said of Burn.

Guess we will see if the player pulls a gordon next lol

Would help us signing Maddison this week

Seems like we might be too late to the party and a straight transfer will likely trump a loan. Who knows how long we may have been talking behind the scenes though. Know next to nothing about him other than he has been universally raved about for the past 2/3 seasons.

Absolutely shitting it that it is McTominay. Hoping Paul Parker is right. For the first time

Was not expecting us to ship out Wood and Shelvey this window. If we can replace them both with upgrades we have played a blinder.

Maddison and Thuram incoming. No worries.

Bit gutted for jonjo but we have to take this deal if we can get another CM/DM replacement in. Could be a game changer. If we can't get someone in I would rather we keep him til the summer for depth.

Think Gallagher would be decent here. Been a bit underwhelmed by him post palace but he would definitely fit here. Loan with option would be perfect. Think Chelsea would prefer palace but if Gallagher pushes for us we might have a shot.
