I believe we are 4-5 players short in terms of squad.  3 that should be pushing selection each week and 2 ‘Bambas’ that will fit in and do a job but are cheap and only needed if we end up with injuries.

Also want to say….

Uche - not the big name big fee striker but an absolute handful.  Keeps himself onside (cough cough Britt) but genuinely looks like he appreciates playing for a club like us.

Crooks - Absolutely love this guy.  Exactly the type of character we want at our club.  A genuinely top guy off the field - reminds me a little of George.  Not a game changer every week but performed well today and will do well for us this season.   

Bamba - genius signing.  Yes he’s 4th/5th choice.  But as a figure in the dressing room - absolutely needed.  Just seeing the way he was with the other players today - no brainier of a signing.

Great post @Youngy228 👍

Perfect rest of the window for me would be something like;

Brown/Bryan

Hedges

Rafael Camacho or a cheaper option like Hoilett/Ojo on loan 

Sporar/Healey/Maja (Think Healey would be superb playing off Uche)

Prem Striker on loan - Joe Gelhardt anyone?

I’ve also heard Italian players refer to managers as “Mister”. So could be that Italian bloke. Think it’s probably someone whose grasp of the language is not the comfortable, so Neil will be using his phone translating app a fair bit 😉

I speak Italian and it doesn't strike me as an obviously Italian trait. Intrigued as to who it is though!

Cerri set for Cagliari so we can rule him out, the article states 'the competition from Middlesbrough was overcome'.

I think it's to do with football being exported from Britain back in the day.

Thats why he never texted Neil back. Left him on read

Can’t have been the one Warnock is talking to then

I'd absolutely love to have an Italian striker in our side. We didn't do too badly with Ravanelli & Branca did we!

Any strikers would be nice.

Hopefully it’ll be an exciting few days regardless of who it is. Sporar would be a more natural finisher, but we need alternative options up top regardless of where they’re from 

[LBP 3,035]

If the striker said he hopes 'we' get top 3 it must be close to a done deal

So just need to look at every Spanish speaking striker in world football who was on the bench or not in the squad this weekend

Would take Sporar, seems to know where the net is but who knows what level the Slovakian league is at where he was banging them in

‘ello mister'.

 

Are we signing a Dickensian child?

Noises coming out tonight sound encouraging. If he's texting the gaffer and keeping an eye out for our results then you'd hope negotiations with the player wouldn't be an issue and it's more just down to haggling over the fee and payment structures with his club.
