New Striker

We should have gone for Rodriguez with Wes as backup last summer, I don't like him one bit for his cheating in the 2-2 last season and the blatant dive for a pen when at Southampton that got them the 3pts at VP. BUT - better him doing that to the opposition than to us, decent target man who can score.

Benteke? Big gamble but the right type of player for our system.

Thanks for the rule book correction Sam.
It may be something maybe not but Benteke not in the squad for Palace today!! Even their new signing Tuson made the bench.
Come home Mate...

Says hes injured or is that a red herring. Are herrings red anyway?

Red ones are.

I had to look up the rules Dave - seen a few people get it wrong on twitter. I'd like us to get Benteke and Gayle and then when the whole squad is fit and playing together we will have a decent squad to pick from.

Gayle in the 11 for Newcastle today so thats dead and im afraid to say Rodrigez not in the squad for Burnley. Benrahma played and scored for Brentford so it looks like Either Beast or Rod.......at the minute.

The beast is coming back







Pleeeeease

[TrianonDave]

Im sure we will here something maybe before the game tomorrow. Maybe he will be unvieled and on the pitch. We need our spies out tonight to see of the beast is spotted out on the town!

We are still allowed 2 more loans just not from Premier league clubs.

Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.

Benteke coming back and buying Gayle would be excellent imo

Apologies everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I misinterpreted the rules to mean we could only have 4 loan players in a season and only 2 registered at anyone time.

Thanks Sam. 👍

Well thats what these boards are for. We are all learning and sharing which improves our intelligence! Thats why they are fun. Just wish we had more members to share and thats not knocking the family on here.

We are all just desperate for some news!

Could we loan Lewis Grabban please Deano and play him alongside a target man.

Excellent work rate for the team as well as the goals.
