Another pretty decent display. Made one very good save on the first half and held the ball well from crosses. This is probably his level.

He is playing up top.

Tbh his passing has been better than Stephens so far this season.

The problem for me is we've got a huge September. Sunderland, Ipswich, Leicester, Leeds. You'd want a proper CF in for those games.

You can't see Bednarek being happy with potentially being third/fourth choice. If we sign Wood as well as Holgate then I'd be surprised if he isn't sold.

No way is Holgate the KWP replacement. Listen to his interview, he has come here to play centre back.

There's still a week left for someone to meet our valuation. Very plausible that a lower half Prem team (Palace, Bournemouth, Fulham) will sign him, possibly even on the last day.

Signed a new 3 year deal according to the Athletic

Agree with this. The Adams replacement is they key one and has to be the one where we show some ambition. It'll possibly make or break the season promotion wise.

If Sports Republic don't put any of this cash back into the squad between now and next Friday, are we allowed to question their intentions?

Can't wait to see a front 3 of Armstrong, Fraser and Amo-Ameyaw. The shortest forward line in history?

At this point I'd be offering Paul out on a free and loaning Mara.

Anyone know if he's signed in time for tomorrow?

With Che and Tella playing I'd have said a nailed on home win. Without them I'm much more pessimistic. Alcaraz is probably our best hope.

That'll take the total sales past £160m (not including sell ons so it'll be a bit less in reality). Only £12m spent. I know there's an element of balancing the books, which you would expect, but that is very concerning if Fraser is indeed the Tella replacement.

Bazunu; KWP, Stephens, Bednarek, Manning; Charles, Downes, Alcaraz; Edozie, SAA (Fraser), Armstrong. Subs: Lumley, Lyanco, Perraud, Bree, S.Armstrong, Aribo, Djenepo, Mara, Ballard. If rumours about Che & Tella not being involved are true. Very lightweight up top all of a sudden.

I actually think Edozie has more potential than Tella. He just doesn't have the end product that Nathan has shown over the last year or so. Let's hope he can start finding some.

Get the feeling Che will be gone next week.

If Tella is off I'm guessing Painstil was our first choice replacement. He turned us down so we've panicked and got Fraser in on loan instead.

I'd like to think if we lost ABK we would bring in someone a bit better than Holgate. Hopefully this means Lyanco is on his way out.

Hove or Wood I'm guessing?

It seems like we finally have a full back that can cross the ball as well

Without departures I think we still need a CB. Lyanco is crap and ABK will probably be injured for most of the season (if he somehow stays)

I'd give Sulemena a few more matches before we place him in the same bracket as Djenepo

I've never understood this "never change a winning team" malarkey. If Alcaraz/Downes are fit enough then I'm sure they will start as Alcaraz is one of our best players and Downes potentially could be.
