4 if you count McNamara

Well the formation seems to change, but that is just more down to the fluidity of our play i think. From what i saw thus far is that he likes his solo DM to drop into the middle of the back 3 and the IWB push into midfield. Then "8" will sit slightly above, but they are more like 10s too, i reckon in an ideal world, RM would have a second charly, but someone with more of a creative sprk and see a pass. a playmaker if you will. Yeah from what i've seen of smallbone he doesn't look very good at all.. and with 1 yr left on his deal id sell him and promote Kamari Doyle to replace him.

Don't think of it as midfield think of it as around the 10 spot. The WBs coming into midfield allows us to play him there centrally with Charly just slightly behind linking the play up.

Smallbone played there on Saturday, Granted he was trash. But for now we also have JWP who i think will be able to play there too. If ofcourse West Ham come in for JWP then i'd like to see us bring in Downes. - Don't need more than 2 DMs if we are only planning on playing 1 in a match day squad.

Smallbone.

We already have a squad of 3 atm. We'd have to sell 8 and 3 more gives us 25. I don't honestly think that that qe will sign more. Charles is also the Lavia replacement.

Wr only need 3 more really for me, CB, Midfielder and a striker.

Going off the game against Goetzepe and his comments about how he likes a striker to drop I wonder if he'll opt to start two strikers. Baz; Tino, bednarek, Stephens, Manning; JWP; Alcaraz, Arma; Tella, Adams, Sulemana.

Yeah, I'd also suggest selling 2 CBs which seems likely too and signing 1 top ball playing CB too.

You've forgotten Edozie. That's my biggest surprise really.

GKs; Bazunu, McCarthy, Bycroft. FBs; Tino, KWP, Bree, Manning, Meghoma CBs; Bednarek, Stephens, Lyanco, Salisu. CMs; JWP, Smallbone, Charles, Lavia, Alcaraz, Doyle. AMs; Tella, Sulemana, Aribo, Djenepo, Samuel Amo-Ameyah. ST; Adams, Mara, Arma.

Be still my beating heart.

It was nothing to do with price, Sangarre was cheaper we just couldn't sign him because of a work permit. Sadly.

I did hear he had said his goodbyes earlier this week.

Probably nothing but I reckon I'd have a nose bleed if Adam Armstrong was sold.

Who's saying they haven't stumped up the cash?

He has 2 years left I think.

Yep, Sadly it looks like we could be saying bye to him.

Did anyone spot Tella at all in pitchside unseen? I saw a kiddie with a white cap on, But I thought that was Sulemana.

I'll have some of that please.

Of the defenders, I thought dCC the most competent ball playing defender too. It could be his redemption arc.
