Or change the bulbs in the floodlights.

Tall Paul not there either - he's hard to miss.

Come back on friday and all will be revealed.

Great player but this is my concern as well. We have a crucial run of tough games and I wouldn't want to be going into them with Che gone and his replacement on the treatment table. Even when fit he'll need time to get up to speed. It's a tricky one because he does look exactly the sort of striker we need.

Think ABK and KWP will be gone.

Yeah, lot of pictures but no sign of KWP or Onuachu.

Well, he would say that if they want to get rid of him.

Unfortunately, as sensible as this is, we all know it won't happen. Be prepared for the usual last minute departure(s) leaving us scrambling to find replacements leading to the inevitable panic buys.

I think Darren Mowbray is moonlighting - he's working for Saints and Leeds.

Sounds like Mystic Meg when she used to predict the lottery winners.

I think you just won Dusty Bin!

I would suggest AA is not a replacement for Che as proved against QPR and Mara is not yet good enough. If we rely of one striker in the role that Che plays that's a huge risk if said striker picks up an injury/suspension or loses form.

Rudi Satchell.

Don't these guys ever do any training? 🙂

Andi Zaqiri from Brighton - has good movement and scores all types of goal. Rak-Sakyi from Palace - very quick and a bag of tricks with an eye for a goal.

Still not fully fit.

Check again on Friday - I've a feeling it's going to be squeaky bum time for us.

This is my issue. Whether Che goes or stays we need 2 good options for his role. For me if he stays we need to sign one striker and, if he goes, we need to sign two. I don't think we currently have anyone at the club good enough to play what I would call the strikers role apart from Che. The QPR game highlighted this - we tried AA up top and it was hopeless but improved marginally when we brought Mara on and dropped AA back. Unfortunately Mara is not yet good enough so, if Adams stays we still need a decent back up striker to cover when he is unavailable.

Yes, another of many scenarios. I guess we'll know soon enough which one comes to pass.

Depends whether he backs himself as good enough to attract offers next season and if, as a free agent, those offers will be better. Does he turn down extra money for the next 12 months and assume he'll more than make up for that at the start of next season? It's a tricky one for us and Che.

Yes be like when we put 9 past their keeper McClaren then signed him 🙂

Seems to me he'd go to any Prem club that offered him a decent contract. Looks like he'll wait it out then, if no offers come in, he'll sign his contract extension with us. This scenario obviously leaves us vulnerable to being left scratching around late in the window if he goes unless we give him and his agent a set deadline.

Sorry, didn't realise we were talking about Che.

Wouldn't mind Ben Johnson tbh.

Read the threads properly rather than putting words in people's mouths. By the way, I see you are seemingly quite comfortable about possibly losing KWP as you don't think he's been that good and is easily replaced by the multitude of good right backs available. I'd wager you are in the minority there but perhaps you're right.
