young local lad, hot prospect currently at Leeds - we tried to get him on loan in January but he wasn't being loaned out - he's going out on loan this year - 7 championship sides and 1 league 1 have registered an interest so far this window - the league 1 club isn't us so guessing garner not as keen as jacko was ??? - shame
Doesn't seen likely he'd go to the L1 side when there's so much interest from the league above?
local lad
So he’d turn down potentially good Champ sides just to live locally for a season? What if two of those Champ clubs are Millwall and QPR?
One is millwall which worries me and I’ve told his dad it cannot happen under any circumstances - league 1 club is MKD - signs r they will be a threat this year - think he will choose based on the footballing aspect but a move back home appeals, I know that
Assuming it’s Lewis Bate then from what I can see he’s a CM. It’s a position where we’re currently more likely to reduce our numbers than add to. I wouldn’t be surprised if any of JFC, Gilbey or Morgan move on which could open up a spot for a squad player later in the window. It seems likely Dobson, Fraser and McGrandles will be our first choice midfield three. We could also still be looking to bring in Payne for that role.
If they let JFC go, who do we think is Dobson's backup?

Clare?
Could be a good shout. Danger is spreading ourselves thin if he's also the backup RB.

Wednesday bid around £200k, Hull want more. Famewo for £50k was the first fee they paid for a couple of years, so they’re another club not throwing money round when it comes to transfer fees.
50 k is cheap for Famewo isn't it?
Not if you've seen him play
A defender who can't defend is like a car with no engine.
After Albies impressive showing in a DM role, maybe he prefers Albie to Dobson
I say it quietly but his place could be under threat, did Garner have a defensive jack russel type in his midfield last season? I don’t think he did, as another poster said he likes a playmaker dropping deep, that’s not Dobson.
Comments
If not, be interesting to see how we finally line up
Mac/Wollacott - haven’t a clue who is first choice
Clare Inniss O’Connell Sessegnon
Morgan Dobson McGrandles (if fit)
CBT Stockley Kirk
Haven’t been following pre-season, so educated guess as to what I’ve picked up on here
Wollacott
Clare, Innis, O’Connell, Sessegnon
Dobson, JFC
Fraser
CBT, Stockley, Kirk
Subs: McGillivray, Lavelle, Clayden, Morgan, Jaiyesimi, Aneke, Leaburn
Elewere would be on my subs bench at least.
