Saint Scott

Martin has mentioned a few times himself and Che are catching up multiple times a day to discuss updates. If we get to deadline day Che will be aware that he won't be able to leave unless a replacement is lined up. Wilcox and Martin aren't stupid.

He said he can play both CB and RB but they both made it clear his main role will be CB especially now with the injury to Stephens

Cole Palmer and Armando Broja

Jealous! I imagine he was relatively unbias though. That pair was like carragher on steroids watching pool

The best part of that stream was listening to the two QPR commentators constantly winge. Incredibly unprofessional but hilarious

Fraser has looked very sharp given he's not played much competitive football.

Quite

Blackmore confirming the obvious, Che not in the match day squad today

He isn't good enough as a lone striker but when he was partnered with Ings he managed 9 PL goals and 5 assists which isn't bad as a secondary striker. Ings got 12 that season and he's well regarded as a PL player

You obviously don't understand modern football. Agents and players hold all the cards now and Che is in the last 12 months of his contract anyway

Yes, because Che and Sulemana are too good for the championship. We'll still have the pull to replace with a top end player at this level. You seem to forget players have a say in where their future lies, more so than ever.

In the sense of you'd assume we'd look to cut our losses on a player that has done nothing to date with a high wage £22m isn't a bad fee in that circumstance

It's good money for an unknown entity that offered next to F**k all since signing in January for a record fee If he leaves he will be replaced as will Che

Blimey, £30m! Fair play Wilcox! On the flip side where have Everton suddenly got money from? Rumoured to have bid £30m on Beto and now £22m on Sully. Yet, they couldn't afford more than £5m up front for Che...

Really liking his character so far. If he can back it up on the pitch we're on to a winner here!

Yes, quite a task to keep them all happy but that's Martin's job. Given the amount of yellows being handed out we'll be looking at plenty of suspensions this season so need the depth

I would say by the end of next Friday we'll be looking at CBs of Stephens, Bednarek, Holgate and Wood. Shea offering cover if required but signed for DM. SR will be hoping to shift Lyanco, ABK will likely end up on loan in Germany Awe was signed for the U21 so should be discounted.

Agreed. Russell will know that too, we need further reinforcements for Tella and Che if he goes

He alludes to it in the final paragraph. Alfie House did similar in his tweet regarding Tella.

Sky in Germany are reporting the fee as €20m

Blackmore doesn't seem to think Fraser is the Tella replacement. Let's see what SR are made of

I personally think Che will end up at Bournemouth

Bazunu Kwp Stephens Bednarek Manning Charles Alcaraz Downes Fraser Edozie Arma

Blackmore mentioned this morning Fraser is the more likely to be done in time to feature this weekend. I gather that has been and gone as its normally midday? If tella/Che are not in the squad tomorrow it leaves us a little light in the attacking third
