Sorry but every time he has played he looks absolutely gash. You'd like to think he'd show something but he's not even good in the air and he's a giant.

Based on the fact that Onuachu is one of the worst signings in the clubs history? Paintsil plays in a different position yes but he has attributes that are likely to improve us. Onuachu is not suited to the English game what do ever.

I'd imagine we would see him as a replacement for Sulemena or Tella.

Can't say I've seen anything of Paintsil but he will offer us more than Onuachu so on that basis, get it done.

True. My issue is that he isn't great in the air. Stephens isn't either. When the rest of your team is under 6 ft you at least need your CB's to be dominant in this aspect.

Holgate is a big no from me. We need a dominant centre back who is positionally sound.

Bazunu; KWP, Stephens, Bednarek, Manning; Charles, Downes, Alcaraz; A.Armstrong, Tella, Adams. Smallbone in for Charles if he's fit.

Harrison, Sinisterra, Gnoto all leaving/refusing to play. Doesn't leave them with much quality.

Me too actually. Was never convinced by JWP and penalties.

Pretty sure that was Stephens. I certainly remember him passing it straight to them more than once.

If Martin wants AA to play then it's got to be on the left really because we just look more dangerous with Adams up top.

Whilst we all know Bazunu has been pretty poor for us so far, he had no chance for any of the goals today. It was all on the lack of midfield/poor play from the centre backs.

The problem with Smallbone is he isn't a natural CDM. Is that Downes position? If it is then I'd say Downes, Smallbone and Alcaraz. If not then Charles, Downes and Alcaraz.

Great move for him if true

Second half he was good to be fair. First half he was shocking.

He seemed to get his foot in a few time sand looked very composed on the ball. Does look more of a natural CDM than Smallbone who cannot tackle to save his life.

Positives - Alcaraz, Charles, Adams & Amo-Ameyaw. Negatives - the whole defence, Edozie & Tella who has been very poor since coming back from Burnley. Bazunu couldn't do anything for the goals.

Stephens was terrible today. Not sure ehe should playing let alone captain. Go and get Harwood-Bellis.

Not true according to the reporter for the Bournemouth Echo.

This really. It'll be tough to find someone willing to play in the championship who is a proven goalscorer that possess every single attribute.

Pretty sure he has a source at the training ground.

With Downes coming in I'd rather it was Piroe.

The way I see it is.. We won't sign a striker until one of Adams/Onuachu have left. We won't sign a CM until Lavia has left. We won't sign a CB until ABK goes. We won't sign a RB unless KWP goes. Let's just hope we don't sell all these players on or around deadline day eh...

We could stick a cheeky sell on clause in there. Win win.

Looks like it's gonna be Chelsea signing Lavia then..unless Brighton are interested now?
