    Rochdale signing Bola on loan from Arsenal. 

    Obviously he was one who went down the pecking order after the takeover. 
    Asked a friend who saw Brighton vs Arsenal U23 fixture - he did nothing of note in that particular game, didn't stand out at all.

    CB and striker are the next two musts on the list for me. Another quality CB at least then gives you the option to play a 3 with Famewo and Pearce as the other 2.

    If we manage to sign Ali Koiki, another centre half, ideally two strikers then this would be a very good window for us, especially when you factor in being behind all the other teams with the administration looming, transfer ban etc

    one player in the Arsenal U23 that would be a great signing is Balogun.

    We really do need another centre back, left back would be good too.

    Definitely need another two strikers as well.

    For the midfield, it would be interesting to see whether we sign another central midfielder or someone who can play wider?

    Now Bostock is a free agent, how likely is he to drop his wage demands to sign for us? A midfield three of Watson, Gilbey, and Bostock would be excellent for this level. Add in Williams, Levitt, and Forster-Caskey and that's strong without even considering other options.

    The biggest target though has to be a striker and I am pretty sure they're getting close to signing one. 
    Didn’t we miss out on Bostock previously?

    I’d be very happy if we got him. 
    Yeah but it was because Toulouse couldnt be bothered to sort out the paperwork to recall from from Forest and send him to us

                      Amos
    Gunter   Akin   Pearce    New LB
       Watson    Gilbey    Levitt
    Maddison    New ST    Doughty

    Decent team with everybody fit (haha), Aneke i like but never fit. Washington not convinced so far and definitely need another CB.
    I really can't see Famewo and Pearce playing together as they are both left footed. 

    After the last time LB paired two left central defenders together - Sarr and Pearce - it ended with Pearce having an awful game and LB saying he wouldn't want to do that again. 
    Famewo looks to be ok on his right foot too from what I have seen.

    Smart move.

    I see you're not daft enough to name the striker - in case it goes t*ts up, and you end up in the red on Dazzler's list.


    Damn, you got me! The risk of being placed on that dreaded list keeps me up at night... :wink:

    The fear of being named and shamed on Dazzler's dreaded list has killed off all the ITKs.  :smile:

    We don't lose anything by waiting a bit either.

    It might be sensible to wait and see if any players become available in a weeks time when they realise an offer from a championship club isn't going to come.

    Wouldn't want to max the wage cap out only to find out x player is now available who is better than y who we panic signed.

    Happy with Gunter. Will be even happier when we get a couple of strikers on board. Not ITK but sure LB won't let us down with his choices.

    The list can be good for your rep, not affect it at all or be bad for it. 

    Moved Dubai's second 'signing' to withdrawn. 

    (And everyone should get the idea by now it's a bit of fun. I may even stop updating it soon)

    So who do we need now
    2 x striker
    1 x RB
    1 x CB

    In order of importance
    I would say a RB is now way down that list.  Oshilaja can do a job there as cover.  Despite the stick he gets he is good enough to be a back up right back in league 1 isn't he? 


    As long as Oshilaja never plays at LB again.
    To play 3 times in that position during the mini League 9 matches was just wrong. Ok against Hull they had a left footed guy on the right wing but he can't tackle with his left foot so why did he play there again ? Hopefully Bowyer won't have to play square pegs in round holes this season.

    We will improve after this window and the next one. The quality of the two new strikers will determine if we finish in the top 6.

    Gunter a good signing.

    Now the two real key areas to get sorted.

    A CB
    A CF

    I agree, but I would turn CF into a good goal scorer. We have had CF who are not good goal scorers. Josh Magennis had a 1 in 4 scoring record at CAFC which isn't good enough if you want to be promoted from League 1.

    Bradley Wright-Phillips had many games where he didn't function but he scored 1 in 2 games in League 1.

    The days when we go for non scoring forwards like the hard working Josh Parker must be history.

    Ps. It took me 6 attempts to spell Josh's Magennis's name correct, I'm pleased he left !

    Do we know, or has it been confirmed that Matthews has 
    actually been told to go, or maybe he is away talking with
    another club, so he may still be involved potentially with us.
    I know we have Chris signed, but no problem having Matthews
    also :)

    Has been confirmed by Cawley that Matthews isnt training with the club anymore... His source is usually Bowyer

    Was we looking at Ryan Shotton a while back? His names appeared a few times on social media lately.

    I also doubt he would be up against the same quality of opposition this season....

    Magennis was a converted goalkeeper. There have improbably been keepers with a better scoring record that his at c/f !
    To be fair his goal scoring record with us, 10 goals a season isn't L1, isn't horrendous as he also did a lot of good work for the team as a target man. If he had been paired with a decent goalscorer, which is what Ajose was meant to be, nobody would questioned his worth

    Yann's ratio in the title season was after all only 1 in 3, as we had BWP to be the main scorer plus goals from elsewhere on the pitch, notably Jacko

    Big experienced defender, better than we currently have. So I would be happy with that
