    I wonder, if the fact that teams loaning players now get a cut of future transfer fees will mean that clubs are less inclined to loan out their younger players with potential, would 2 or 3 loans make a substantial dent in transfer income? ie would we want to send Kanu out on development loans too often. Or am I reading this all wrong?

    Our striker situation on paper looks pretty decent but it’s also pretty precarious. Chuks is Chuks, Miles has had a very long injury absence, Kanu is young and inexperienced and would he be up to the rigours of a full season of Jonesball ? I wouldn’t be that shocked if we brought in another front man. Loan most likely but if the right player is available at the right price then I can see something happening. Would be quite an ask of the owners though.

    We have 7 strikers, I can’t see us bringing in any more. 

    If GK isn’t happening then I think left sided centre back is the only position we need to bring someone in. The rest of the squad is fine and will be more about outgoings 
  • Potts signing on a year deal would complete the jigsaw and give cover as we dont know exactly how long Edwardes will be out. 
    Ive a feeling Kanu may get a start soon alongside Adahme as TC not really cutting it in that role - Can see them both running oppostion centre backs ragged and then bring on Chuks and Godden on the hour to capatilise when they are tired. 
    What a starting X1 and also a very very strong bench. - what a turnaround from the past few seasons.

    'But a permanent deal did not materialise' doesn't sound that close, think if Jones had have really fancied signing him we would have - free transfer so the selling before buying was less of a factor.

    7 strikers but only 2 who are currently fit / capable of 90 mins / natural to the role or arguably proven at this level.

    The 2 being Ahadme and Godden.

    Chuks - will never play 90 mins
    Miles - won’t be match fit until Nov
    TC - learning what it needs to be central striker 
    Kanu - IMO would suit a loan (like we did with KAG)
    Dixon - will need months to settle 

    So… I wouldn’t be suprised to see another striker coming in…

    Godden will be a starter with Ahadme not Kanu

  • TC played well on Saturday, indeed he was more effective than Ahadme.

    As a different option, Godden could play the number 9 role alongside TC or Kanu as he's more physical than May. It's not as if Ahadme won anything in the air on Saturday.

    Given he's 5"9 I doubt it. Ahadme did ok in the air and if he can go up against Mbengue this week he should dominate as he's the same height as Godden, might as well make the most of the height difference

    Who’s this May bloke of whom you speak?

    You joking he was a constant threat and his pressing led to the first goal .. far better then Campbell who just don’t read the game 
  • If there is an opportunity for Cornick to sign on loan with potential to sign then it’s a no brainer in my eyes. 
    What would he give us that we don’t already have? From the little I know he’s another winger/striker without much of a goalscoring record but known for his work rate. 

    I struggle to see how he’d be a guaranteed starter and we don’t need another squad option to rotate with TC, Kanu, Godden and Dixon.


  • PFA free agents playing today (including a certain Michael Hector), GK's are Jamal Blackman and Jordan Amissah. Don't know anything about Amissah but Blackman would be a good second choice option, probably better than AMB and would push Mannion.

    Quite a few ex players playing.
  • While most would agree Santos had an off day on Saturday he is still a difficult player to play against and Ahadme did ok.

    I agree, we’ve got the numbers but not the fitness. TC is good in that position and causes defenders all sorts of problems but alongside him Ahadme looks very raw, he must be one for the future. His positioning is not quite clicking and he seems very hesitant in possession. Would love TC and Chuks to start up front together but that’s not going to happen. We need another backup if we can.

    Picked the right position - was never going to make it as a striker with that name.

    Amazing how we all see things differently. I don’t think Ahadme & TC will ever be a good enough line leading pairing but can see I’m clearly an outliner. 
    Well we’re 3 wins in 3 so far so can’t be doing too bad, of course alot of that comes down to the defence and midfield but it’s also about defending from the front and the work rate they’re putting in. The way they’re dropping off because of the pace of Campbell and the work rate of Ahadme & also what’s gone unnoticed I think is the headers Ahadme wins in our own box.
    Ah, The Stockley Defense!

    Think this will become more obvious when we concede a few and are under pressure to attack and score goals.

    Looking at the squad I am hoping for Edun out Potts in to give more balance and cover and then Taylor and Fraser out and maybe one more midfielder in to give 6 in that area.  

    Would then get Nathan A a loan as well.
