He's no doubt got an option built into his contract if he makes so many appearances. Another 12 months incoming.

Yeah but one of the two was Kante. We played Drinkwater down the middle and Kante either side.

Or come up with a better chant that doesn't drop a c-bomb in the family stand?

Logan. Slimani, didn't like the fight at Prem level but would probably clean up for us right now in the Championship.

More pragmatic manager helping no end. Get James back into midfield and him and Devine will be scoring all day.

That was decent when fit and who we sold for a profit.

He could quite easily include an option to walk away if relegation happened. Rescuing us from the spiral we're in is a good news story to add to a CV. There's then the option to oversee a rebuild of the club into what he would like it to be or he could take the boost in PR and move elsewhere.

He's managed a full five mins of competitive action this season.

To be fair Enzo had a short and unsuccessful 9 months worth of managerial experience before he became our manager.

By the looks of it only to tell the marketing team the details so they could arrange an announcement.

Rudkin is still fighting with the jammed fax machine whilst everyone else just emails in pdfs.

Yeah but at 17 you haven't finished growing physically and having already got a diminutive stature, asking him to lead the line in the Championship is going to be a push. No point throwing him in and watching him struggle whilst the side is getting booed off the pitch. Going to wreck his confidence before he's properly ready.

We don't have any money. No one's going to gift us a recognised goal scorer on loan. Even for someone out of favour they'd be a chunky loan fee.

Other than he's older and physically bigger than Evans. Also if he gets thrown in the deep end and can't swim then we get to send him back to Man City and they can deal with building his confidence back up.

A punt of a signing because he's had injury issues. If he hadn't had those issues then Newcastle wouldn't move him on. If we get him back fit we've got a commanding centre back who'll be invaluable to our back line. Risk worth taking as long as the salary is reasonable.

Four goal involvements in six games. If he does that here he'll be a cult hero.

We could sign Messi and they'd be people complaining he's too old and we should be signing someone younger who'll appreciate in value.

That and the difference in financial clout and high profile young players to loan out means they can be more demanding than we can.

He was on the bench for Man City midweek. Can't be that unfit.

Birmingham are rumoured to be offering actual money for him so it's unlikely he'll come to us as he we'll be offering a loan deal no doubt.

Thought it was his back from carrying the team for the first half of the season.

Considering he's injured currently that'll be an interesting medical. Presumably we activate the buy out clause and then immediately sell to Palace with at least a £20m mark up.

Works for me. Shame there's not chance for him to make a bit more effort before the transfer window shuts.

James and Ramsay injured. Skipp and maybe now Choudhury doubts. Leaves us with Page and Winks. An extra body makes sense. Don't want to pay for injury cover either so a loan deal does the job.

21 weeks (roughly) to the end of June at £80k a week, nearly £1.7m saved by getting rid. Result.
