Good move for him that. Has impressed in preseason but not sure he is quite ready yet. Better for his long term development to be playing regular football. Would also rather use someone like Hutchinson as 3rd choice ST. As he is probably slightly too young to go on loan, so 1st choice striker for the U21’s, but training with the first team and getting some minutes in the cups etc makes sense. Only concern is Russel has only used him out wide so far…

Riley Carr as well offers pace and direct running similar to Watson, and has looked promising in pre season. Unless he goes out on loan.

Braybrooke the only one looking like making something happen

Evans is a ******* pitbull isn’t he hahah. Love it. Crazy he’s only 17

Anyone know what’s happened to Tom Wilson Brown? Seemed to be on the way out but not gone anywhere yet?

Knock? Presumably why he was training on his own yesterday? BDCR at a guess then off the right

Reckon we will see the below against Genoa based on that… McCarthy Joseph - Okoli - Nelson - Thomas Chaplin - Skipp - Braybrooke Alves - Cullen - Mavididi Edit: forgot about BDCR. If Cullen isn’t deemed ready wonder if we could see Bobby and Chaplin alternating in the false 9 again

Probably been posted already but still… Some fall from grace that

Hopefully Swansea win that race

Michael Obafemi?

Are we talking about Keillor Dunn or Adebayo here?? My assumption was Adebayo was a red herring, possibly confused with Mcfarlane who was at Seagrave today, and Keillor Dunn is who were actually signing. Doesn’t help both are 28 😂

Surely points to Woyo being on the way out? If that’s the case don’t hate this at all. Decent option to rotate with LT, and presumably mccarron knows of him

Really like the midfield balance at the minute with: Braybrooke - Skipp - Page really hope we don’t revert to type and end up playing: BDCR - Hamza - Chaplin. Because of experience 🙄

Got to be a PSR fiddle we can do with Souttar. They give us £7.5m for him, and we then buy Ryan Oné off them for £2.5m pure profit and everyone’s happy?

So saying … Okoli 🙄

First half: Aluko the only one to come out with any real credit imo. Chaplin hopefully just a little rusty. Carr promising but raw. Evans gives me young Rooney vibes but not sure he’s quite ready yet. Second half: Much better balance. Love the understanding between Braybrooke & Alves. Hope Chaplin doesn’t block Sammys progress who is playing in the same position this half. Nelson looking decent, and even Okoli looking like he’s seen a ball before. Otchere knows where the back of the net is.

Yeah honestly not sure. Just went with that because of Evans being left footed and Hutchinson having played off the left for us so far.

Looks like the second string to me. He seems to have kept the other XI plus Aluko together much more often so far, which I would imagine is more of his preferred starters. So guessing we’ll see two different teams again. 1st Half: Hamza Carr - Chaplin - Neale - Hutchinson Evans 2nd half: Skipp Alves - Braybrooke - Page - Mavididi Otchere

Yes don’t know if we’ll actually hold on to either of them, but it does at least put us in a stronger bargaining position you’d think now.

We could’ve sent them Fatawu for half of that, and everyone would’ve been happy

Torino have just signed a 19yo CB Luka Tomić. Wonder if that means they’ve moved on from Nelson now

Yes imagine this will be announced today. Wonder what times they will have scheduled the comms for… 10? 11? Later?

Lefty as well so could be an option as the right sided forward in Martins setup

Can see Ings & McCarthy getting done this week. And then likely will be a wait again until we can shift a few more E.g - Vestergaard, Fatawu, Mavididi? and Souttar? Before we see any more incomings.

Happy with this. Interesting the club listing him as Attacking Midfielder rather than Forward say. Wonder if that hints at how RM sees him, as one of the 8/10’s
