I have no problem with Vaz Te leaving, as the club announced when he joined his last (and only) championship season he scored more than 20 goals.
For us though while he has been played out of position a lot of the time, he has looked slow, uncommitted and maybe is never going to fit into the team.
I might not have been so positive before today's performance but if Igor is coming back into form, Reza (I like him despite his inconsistency) and Makate available and fit, can't see me playing Vaz Te as a number 10.
If we do send him off though, we need another striker for cover or we could end up in deeper shite if we get an injury or loss of form. One of these is more or less inevitable, so we need another striker.
Bournemouth close to re-signing Rhoys Wiggins from Sheffield Wed. Fee agreed apparently. Makes you wonder doesn't it, if Eddie Howe considers him good enough for the Prem?

Without doubt the worst signing of the season if they do it. Hasn't been good enough for the championship for 2 years. Bournemouth fans absolutely hate him as well.
Not in a million years is he a premiership footballer, and he's hated on the south coast right now, imagine the jeers he'll get as Sanchez skins him for the 15th time against Arsenal
We absolutely and clearly need to strengthen at the back, that would be my first priority and Jorge isn't enough. Obviously we need to add players in midfield and up front too, but even today I was getting nervous when Rotherham attacked.

Hope he goes back there and does well. He is a classy player and I don't buy the past his best stuff. Still young, still quick. Just needs the right manager to show some faith and play him the right way which Howe will do.
Not a rumour but would like us to go back in for Tommie Hoban at Watford, can play left back and centre back. I think we were linked with him in the summer.
Seems Bauer isn't far away so I wonder how Kashi (remember him?) is doing? Also I think with our new proper shape, Ba could be decent. Moves the ball forwards, at decent pace and given options to pass might add to our mf. Like to see a Poyet/JC combo again also, but see why JR is picking contracted players given he has another year. Wonder who his "right recruitment" comments were aimed at, given that most discards are still young.
Anyone know when Diarra will be back? If he's also back soon then that would explain why Riga may have pulled the plug on the Reece Oxford move. Plays in exactly the same positions.
Im hoping for atleast 2 in before the deadline 'slams shut'. A winger and striker would be what I would go for if Diarra and Bauer are close to a return to strengthen us up defensively.
We need more wingers even if Johann has had 1 good game. Who would play RM if he was out injured for a couple of months? We'd be screwed with the lack of width we have in the squad. He needs more competition and someone we can bring on when he's not having a good game. A winger who can play on both flanks would be ideal....in case him or Bergdich lose form. We need more and better quality than just Harriott as back up.
Be great if we can sign Serge Gnabry... Be even better if we can do to him what we did to Coquelin as it'll create so much trust between us and Wenger in the future.
We've got Bergdich / Harriott on the Left yet on the Right we've only got Gudmundsson... Bringing Gnabry in wouldnt just provide backup on the Right of Midfield but would also allow Gudmundsson to either play in the middle of Midfield with Cousins (and thus resting Jackson) or he could play in the hole behind the Striker (for when we need to play a bit more of a defensive away match i.e. Ipswich)
Would love to sign Gnabry. Not getting hopes up yet as that article is just someone speculating based on wenger saying they want to do something like what they did with coquelin.
Thought I saw on skysports Gnabry is going to Brighton? Hopefully with how the coquelin loan turned out he will come here but if its the players choice I can't see him choosing us over Brighton. Not played much in 2 seasons though so how fit will he be..

Dembele is expected to be loaned back according to Sky Sports.

JR - 'excellent, I have heard of him'
AW - 'OK sorted, can we have your best player Ade Lookman for £100k?'
KM - 'yess, I'll drive him tomorrow'
