Lewis injured, Manquillo suspended, Dummett just back from injury. So yeah, although I am unsure if he played LB before.

So two CBs and one forward the priorities. Peeps happy if we get in Botman, Carlos, and a striker in addition to Trippier and conclude our transfers?

They keep moving the goalposts. If no intention to sell whatsoever, look at other targets instead of getting no one in after all the delay.

By all accounts, he's been extremely professional and despite being open to a move, has never pushed for one.

Which other strikers have we been linked with besides Wood? Martial looks unlikely and for 17m, I would think there are options that we can look at from France or the Championship.

Hatem 1987 ASM 1997 Hatem is years ahead of ASM.

Could be that he was disappointed with his performance and the result, so wanted some time to himself. People work differently, and I would be worried if he was smiling and laughing instead.

Give them Gayle in return.

Like choosing between different ways to die.

Ah forgot Manquillo is suspended. Means Ritchie at LB then...

There are already the endless supply of French born midfielders like Kamara and Forfana that we can target. Just need to convince the clubs to sell and the players to come...

Take our money, Sevilla.

Sign one lower down the list but more attainable, then look to bring in one of higher caliber in this window. Gayle is a non-entity and Wilson has injury concerns. Clubs have around three who can play in the striker role anyway. Extremely risky to put all our eggs in one basket.

Yea, we can get someone of that ilk in first, then work towards bringing in a better striker.

Return him the value of the signs sponsorship then (none).

Frees ASM up to his best position and an option on the left wing, and gives us a focal point. Players were terrified of attacking the goal. We may have a good crosser in Trippier but who can he aim for? There's the lack of cohesion too. These players have been together for years and you thought they would have known each other's movements by now. Nope, passes find no one and players do not move into the next phases. Adding new players now won't resolve this issue immediately but I go for good players lacking cohesion than shit players with the same any time. And absolutely imperative that we get in a new striker or two. The club are trying their best and there are challenges in doing deals, but we need to win to stay up. If we don't score goals, we can't win.

Would like to know what's on Al Rumayyan's mind every time he watches us.

May not be as simple as getting a striker in. Our players can't read each other's movement and passes find no one. We truly need Pardew-level magical moments to save this season.

Standing off the ball and allowing Cambridge to reclaim it.

Well, that certainly was a confidence booster... Lack of cohesion, passes going astray, nobody to take the final shot...

Hope Anderson and White get some minutes.

Good to see ASM and Fraser available.

Sure it will be in the long-term plan. Hope we have an academy on par with Man City and Chelsea in future.

Think we need a striker more than a left back. ASM on the left and Trippier on the right can still create chances and we need someone to convert them.
