The stranger things #eleven was a clever touch, just a bit OTT for a loan signing imo, especially from palace. Hopefully he hits the ground running anyway along with the other new lad, both sound talented
As things stand we need the window to slam shut without any more player movements. In terms of Roland selling there is no longer any need to get a deal done in January cos we have had a stonking window so far. Roland, march out of our club before March.
I'm excited about this lad, but I was excited about Polish Piotr and that's not even a joke.
To be fair, so was I but that was early duchatelet! Dodoo was desperation. This lad has 12 goals in 26 appearances at our level and some of those were as sub if I read it right
I still think Konsa will go and if he does we're going to need potentially 2 replacements.
First being a CB while we'd still have Pearce, Bauer, Sarr and Lennon all of these have been recently injured or are currently injured.
Then you have a need to provide some cover at right back for Solly.
You could also argue that cover would also be needed for Kashi & JFC although we have Aribo but that's the versatility Konsa brings to the team.
Yes we've done well to bring in Mavididi, Kaikai and Zyro but we've still lost Holmes and could yet lose Konsa and may not even replace him. Let's see how the squad looks on Feb 1st before the window is seen as successful as suggested.
So assuming everyone is fit apart from Clarke obviously what's the first choice front 4 now?
Mavididi, Reeves, Fosu, Zyro?
Or Mavididi, Fosu, Marshall, Zyro?
Either way the likes of Kaikai, Reeves/Marshall and Magennis on the bench is pretty strong for league one
Mavididi Aribo Fosu Zyro
Aribo can play deeper. Possibly start with Fosu Mavididi Zyro Kaikai with the latter pair in the 9 & 10 roles. Mehhy not.
He can, but he shouldn’t when JFC is fit. His performances earlier in the season have been vastly underrated. Matches Aribo for goal scoring potential, better range of passing, better defensively but not as athletic or as good running with the ball. Aribo at no. 10 for me.
Shame we are not in any cups, that line up would frighten a few Prem defences. Zyro, Mag, KAG and Reeves off the bench.
Agreed, it would frighten premiership defences, the problem is that teams realise that they get corners and opportunities to put the ball into our penalty box
We've just signed a Palace fringe player on loan, Arsenal youth on loan and a Wolves player on loan returning from a bad injury and we would frighten prem sides? Those posts have to be a wind up surely

And I would hazard a guess no one on here has seen Zyro or Kaikai play more than once, if at all.

We’ll know tomorrow if he’s moving cos robbo said someone is out for personal reasons! Could be him!

Hazard on loan anyone?
That was the only shot they could have got without blood stains on the wall.
Pleased with our business this window (no Meire or Driesen) so far but games are won on the pitch. If only we done this in the summer.
Looking good and welcome Kaikai, sensible loan.
JFC should play as the 10 if we have to play 4231
PS lots of suggested line ups none of which feature Magennis. I expect KR to still pick him for most games this season.
As I've been saying since August we'll be promoted at Rochdale.
