If he does and we aren't top 6 then Robins would have to be ringing Dowie up for a job on the road selling stuff with him and David Brent.

It's looking more and more like something is going to happen
After being asked why Baker was left out of the squad for the last match and intimating that a move would suit both parties Jackett was then asked about possible signings
His reply was 'someone has to go out before we can bring anyone in..............'

I'm hoping McNulty.

Didn't MR say recently that player(s) would need to go out if we are to bring anyone in before the window shuts?
Looks like being an interesting few days

That's what I thought, then Thomas went and we got Andreu and he said it had been going on for a while.
Are we going to offload for Baker? I can only see it being Stevenson.

Seems like their manager being a dick. Said he was part of his plans at Portsmouth and didn't want him to leave when other clubs were sniffing around in the summer then bombed him out last week. From what I've been told he was told so late in the day that he'd been taken out of the squad he'd already had his pre-match meal hence him asking if he could go to the gym to burn it off.
There's been no hint of any bust up and their fans aren't too pleased he was taken out of the squad let alone allowing him to leave.
Very odd.
If it works for us financially I'd have him back.

I suspect some of the fringe players may be sent out on loan
Didn't Robins mention Dion KE possibly going out & we have 4 keepers in the squad too
That would reduce the salary bill for FFP

That's only only way I can see it being possible and getting near the match day squad is if Stevenson was to be sold.

Even then it would be in centre midfield wouldn't it. (unless he changes formation)

I'd say so yeah baring injuries and suspensions or tweaks during the 90 mins depending on how the games going.
Maybe it's time for him to come inside now using his experience and passing range in the central role, I'm not saying he's not good enough to play the right wing role as he's done it last year but we've assembled a side over the summer addressing those areas.
I'd take his set piece abilities tho, were still needed that in the side because JJ cannot do the role currently in a match situation.

I'd imagine Andreu is going to be our set piece man

I'm hoping so! Looks like he might have that something special, certainly put a better corner in when he came on last week.

Kelly's corners have been very poor.

I don't think this means we're overloaded. We can obviously switch to any of 442, 4411, 433 and 451 - most of those players are sufficiently versatile to play more than one role. When you think that we need to have 2 players for every position, that means that we need, based on your classic 442:
4 wide attacking midfielders who can play wide or central or no 10 - Baker, Vincenti, Jones, Andreu
4 strikers - McNulty, Thomas, Beavon, Nazon

Our squad is looking stronger than last season the way it is heading. Just need to prove it on the pitch now!

I like the fella but I just can't see where he'll fit in.

His haven't been great but his have been the better of him and jones. Plus it was his delivery for Grimmers goal

If he comes he's as likely to start ahead of Jones as he is Vincenti. Jones still young and developing.

The two fringe keepers both came from Arsenal's Academy
Not sure about the full details of FFP for home grown players but the DKE's and the likes of Jordan Shipley and Pontichelli could benefit from a few months playing men's football on loan
