Wigan away last season?

Me too. But I had forgotten Bertrand could cover there. None of our centre-backs are remotely fast with Maya being away.

Good shout.

We can rule out the most unlikely transfer link of the window. Pepe has signed for Porto.

For all the discussion & debate, I go back to this point Bexy made the other day, which is by far the most salient point I've read.

Assuming we stick to playing 3 at the back & with Yoshida (away at the Asia Cup) & Hoedt (not in contention) we only have Stephens / Bednarek / Vestergaard for those 3 starting positions w/ Kayne Ramsay covering (& he's more of a right-back). Now is a really good chance for Jones to impress.

Now only 6 if Seager has indeed returned.

We only have 7 out on loan at the mo, I think. Carrillo / Seager / Boufal / Clasie / Latham / Reed / Davis

The only way I could ever imagine it happening is if Everton landed a big attacking signing. Otherwise it's not like he isn't getting game time for them.

Link I see says "obligation". Never know if that's from dodgy translation or not.

This is very true.

Employing somebody who isn't familiar with the club isn't really how club ambassador jobs work Soccerbox? Yeah, love watching that.

A top listen, as always.

Crikey, we're spinning the injury roulette wheel.

Bit late, we've signed him already

Yeah, I remember last year. even company man Pellegrino moaned about us needing to act quicker.

Have any journo's even asked Ralph what positions we are looking for? Too many asking him things like "What do you think of Man City vs Liverpool?" Historically, our January's seem to vary in quality. It's hard to know what cash (if any) we may have. Jan 2013 - Forren Jan 2014 - N/A Jan 2015 - Elia / Djuricic Jan 2016 - Austin Jan 2017 - Hassen / Caceres / Gabbiadini Jan 2018 - Carrillo I'm guessing this summer it might be more like 2015, where we get a couple of loans in as we're just going to be freeing up wages rather than bringing any big transfer fee sales in.

If Ralph doesn't want to use him, lets send him to a good side in League 1. Burton or similar. Zero point in him being a sub in the championship - He just needs to get games & get his confidence back.

Yeah. The new boss said he wanted to ship out 6 or 7. Good excuse for Ralph to have a look at him & then we can either utilise him or re-loan him out.
