Given that Wakefield has long-term injury issues and Allassani is not in the first team squad, I think we need a winger. It's far too early to evaluate Jobello, but we need some more cover.
He retiredA speedy winger would be perfect.
On a serious note whats happened to wakefield?
In u23 devslopment side or told he has no future here?
Only 3?I think.you will find that one Ibrahimovic is equal to THREE Kelly-Evans'.
Well by all accounts Jimmy Saville had a decent touch and look whats happened to himOk. As I say, I think he’ll come good. Looked aggressive and like Jobello appears to have a decent touch etc.
However, in comparing/rating the team’s performance I felt his and jobello’s were below the others. I thought Rose looked a little off the pace too but again, they all looked like they could play.
I’ve seen good players not play well before. I’m not overly worried.
Very early days, luckily we have some time before the bigger teams come to town, so hopefully we will get the new boys up to speed.While Dabo didn't tear any trees up he made it into the team of the week in one newspaper, Mason had a much better game i think but he has also had more time to settle into the squad. I was more concerned with Jobello if I'm honest but i think i may have been expecting too much following some of the reports in the friendlies. It's early days
Will be a loan player for the season
Current U23 squad from a Premier league team
Attacking midfielder
Avantay klooHave you heard any names or which club?
Agree on Jobello reports from pre season were very positive I thought he looked lost at league 1 level Saturday but yes maybe will take time he was bang average against SouthendWhile Dabo didn't tear any trees up he made it into the team of the week in one newspaper, Mason had a much better game i think but he has also had more time to settle into the squad.

I saw him at Leamington and against Liverpool u23s and he was the most exciting player on the pitch in both. Saturday he was a complete shadow of the player seen in pre-season. He did seem to look like a confidence player, head would go down a bit and he seemed to potter about rather than intensity still in preseason, but was quick, had good feet, got the ball in dangerous areas and finished spectacularly (albeit offside) against Liverpool. Although I was really disappointed with his showing on Saturday, not because he was *that* bad but more because how promising he's looked so far, I am still optimistic it was just a bad 90 minutes for him settling in and he will prove to be a good signing.Agree on Jobello reports from pre season were very positive I thought he looked lost at league 1 level Saturday but yes maybe will take time he was bang average against Southend
The annual obsession with wingers...........Here we go again. First cuckoo in Spring is followed by the desperate sound of the lesser spotted football fan demanding speedy wingers. Haven't we just bought two - Jobello and Kast. Do we not have a highly rated teenager in the development squad but about to come through? (the next Maddi-Bayliss allegedly).
On the other hand Fandabidosi is the only genuine right back we have and he looks problematical, so I would go for a loanee at right back while Dabo is worked on. If Bright became available I would take him, because he is known class. But otherwise I would not act hastily like we did in January 2018 and get a couple of duds (although Maquire-Drew has been good for Orient according to my mate who is a season ticket holder)
At present we have four in development knocking on the door. Bapaga, Ngandi Burroughs and Eccles. Better to bring them through
Thought the signings were a lot better than last year all played well bar Jobello but could just need a little time which HE AINT GETTING !!!We should probably write them both off just to be safe. How many more chances to they need.
I'd also add Sterling in on that same bracket. Castigated by some but was a very good loan. Having to replace the entire side is never going to be seamless, especially when you compare them to the quality of their predecessors.Jobello has to replace Thomas who was the best loan we have had since Jacob Murphy - the stats based game is bollocks. He was a huge player for us last season and is the hardest to replace

Noticed he wasn’t willing to take his man onMy main issue with Jobello was his complete refusal to challenge the fullback in the air. Most of the time their LB had a free header away. Also seemed reluctant to drive at them when he had the chance (not often to be fair) and slowed down the attack.
Obviously not writing him off, but general decision making and character issues suggest he’ll need to have his balls tickled before every game if we want a performance out of him. I’d rather have someone available so we can pull him off if needed (innuendos left in for effect).
