[Hoofhearted]

He only signed for Rapid in the summer

That would be a "quick" exit from er..... Rapid

And you would know how?

Just by putting his name into twitter

 

[fatso]

Can’t see Binks going back he’s too good

I think it's his wages that might be the issue, rather than his ability.

 

[Deity]

Can’t see Binks going back he’s too good

I think he’s been less convincing in recent matches.

He lacks pace in a 4 and his distribution isnt as good as I hoped it might be ….

maybe he will
Improve with more match time ….

I have and absolutely nothing about him is on there

He means people not connected to the club and have flagged the player up

Can you link me to any tweets? I have searched and literally nothing about him comes up for me

Sending Binks back mid-season is a big risk unless we buy someone else in.
I get the feeling that we send him back and then either Thomas or Kitching get injured would be just our luck.

Andy Turner said he may have something in the morning regarding transfers

OOOOOOH

We also have lati to cover CB if needed

I wonder what Burnley's stance on McNally would be at the minute. That is one I would trust Nixon on.

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Sakamoto didn’t he looked pretty ropey early on. Robins didn’t seem to want to push him and he showed signs of a good olayer. These last 8 games he’s been our best player amongst a team that also settled in. Interesting that you pulled Mitoma out of your pocket, I’d be interested to read your view on other Japanese players.

I have seen only a few players tbf, they all seem very similar in attributes. Very much nimble, agile, workhorses and very technical, i would love us to enter into that market and sign 1 or 2 more Japanese players. Simply because of the sheer work ethic these guys apply on the pitch, it's so refreshing to see.

Agree. We need to exploit the success of Tatsu with other hot prospects from the J-League.

Indeed. Rapid progression - step up and up.

...it's the final third that I feel is our weakest link.

Think we've scored more than at the same point last season. A lot of those are the front three making them for each other.

Midfield needs sorting ahead of anything up top. Ideally two permanent signings. Kelly replacement and a proper no. 8.

Need cover up front, but we've got the first choice three and an OK back-up in Godden. A loan with some pace will do in Jan.

We've scored 11 more

Think the idea with Latibeaudiere is he covers CB RB and DM and allows us a slightly smaller squad. Think we need cover for Simms as Godden isn’t up to that role in this team, and cover for Wright and Sakamoto (possibly one player). Plus obviously the CM to play alongside Sheaf/Eccles.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

We dont need a Kelly replacement as thats what I believe Lati is, and Lati can also play RB and CB which is good, I think J.Burroughs will be MvE back up at RB next year, next year we need 3 forwards (1 to replace Godden, 1 that can play both wings, and a young forward that can play all over the front line with potential), 2 CB (one young and one more experienced between 26 and 29). And I believe this window we’ll sign an 8, CAM and ST

 

[mmttww]

People making good points re: Latibeaudiere. He's probably good enough to fill the role Kelly has over the last season and a half i.e. back-up behind Sheaf and Eccles. Leaves more in the coffers for a no. 8 and a loan or two up front.

Cheesecake

Nah definitely some kind of French pastry.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Championship clubs poised to sign Duk from Aberdeen, could that be us?

 

[shmmeee]

Have to remember Vik might not leave and we have to replace O’Hare in the summer as well.

Cheesecake

I f*cking love cheesecake!

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Cannot see a CB at all

Why would we? We play 4 at the back, have Thomas, Kitching, Binks and Fadz

Meanwhile a gaping hole in the 8 role which has been there for months doesnt get filled? I dont buy it

Weren’t we pursing both Brekalo and Kitching towards the end of the window?

If we’re recruiting for the long turn, we will need a CB in the summer to replace McFadz and Binks. Whilst it’s not our most immediate need this window, if good players become available and at the right price, we’d be stupid not to pursue them.

I know he did well last year but only 2 goals this season?

Yeah, good point. Like Liverpool have done with their front three and midfield. Grab players when they're available ahead of when current players might leave or fall from their peak. If we can afford a really good no. 8 and a CB doesn't jeopardise that, go for it!

 

[long way home]

Would love Ben Doak and Bobby Clark from Liverpool, got no chance but type of lads we should look at.

Doak picked up a long term injury recently but yes is meant to be very good, Celtic kicked up an almighty fuss when he went

Maybe available cheaper? Never seen him play so can’t comment £3m is reported fee.

Which would be fine if we'd got him from the J-League

 

[shepardo01]

Crystal Palace recall Luke Plange from loan at Carlisle.
One that a few on here wanted when Derby got relegated I think.....

Been a lot more underwhelming than most had expected, me included. I was one that would have taken him admittedly hindsight is a beautiful thing

 

[Matt smith]

Would like to see us go for Cameron brannagan from Oxford

Goalscoring and creative midfield player can play deeper or as an 8/10

probs cost us 3/4 I reckon
