Got a feeling he will come late in the window if we sell Daka and Castange.

I think he'll come if we sell Daka

Has anyone heard of how talks with THB are progressing, if at all?

Expect THB, Issahaku and maybe a striker to happen (assuming Daka goes).

Would be happy with that, with some outgoings of course.

If VK goes, we will need a LB suited to our system

Cover for Ricardo is more of a concern for me. JJ can cover Doyle role, but I’m not sure anyone can cover Ricardo and he is fairly injury prone…. That is an absolutely key position.

Enzo said yesterday about JJ being cover for Ricardo.

...not to mention, he came on for him today.

I thought JJ replaced McAteer?

Probably because he didn’t👀

Based on friendlies and the match vs. Burton, think Choudhury is seen as backup to Ricardo, or Doyle if necessary, along with Justin. I remember reading when Choudhury played at CB that some people at the club thought a natural position for him was RB.

He didn’t come on for him, and I don’t think JJ is the right type of player to do what Ricardo does. He isn’t that technical, not suited to receiving the ball in tight spaces and using guile and technique to twist away from players and pick a pass… he is a marauding full back that can cover CB and has good recovery pace (something we could really use imo). Don’t think he’d be very good as a pivot, personally. 
 

I can only really see him playing one of the outside CB roles, probably on the left.

I wouldn't say I disagree with you but like I said, Enzo has said he reckons it's something that can be developed and I imagine that's the plan for him. 

 

Similarly with him saying Hamza is backup to the Winks role and VK is backup to the Doyle one (for as long as he's here l, at least).

He has said that Hamza will cover the Winks role.

You're right. My mistake.

Yep, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t cover that position as well, especially as he played as an inverted full back vs. Burton. 
 

I think they’ll be hoping that Braybrooke comes back well and he’ll be cover for Winks.

Choudhury and JJ essentially cover centre back, both fullbacks, centre mid (6&8) and a defensive wing role. Will both prove very useful as the season goes on
