at least wait one game......So you've dismissed Bakayoko too without ever having seen him play for us.
Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal (25 Viewers)
- Thread starter junglej13
- Start date
By the end of last season we very much had a team, one that you could predict and recognise. This term we are starting again with a squad, I guess the team will start to come through from that eventually but it may take some time and patience, I just hope we get it sorted before the end of October latest, so we know our best 11 and we can compete.

The signs on Saturday were that we could compete. I still think we'll be closer to playoffs than relegation.

It is never "best eleven" because of injuries, form, opponent. It is a myth.
Anyway, it should be best "shape" into which players come and go. That was the learning from Southgate's England incidentally, and also why Bayliss was played out of position - he is a good player but Kelly and Doyle better in the centre for Div 2 at least.
But in support of your point, it was interesting that debate on here about team selection last season was relatively muted after Christmas, even when there was the lapse in results, because everyone knew what shape Robbins was playing, and it picked the team for him. - 4 at the back, two central midfielders, two on the flanks, one big striker with one playing off him. Or at least that is how it looked to me - basically 4-4-2 with bells and whistles

Agree - but a few clubs are in a similar position, having had a big turnover of squads.

Don't be bringing back those whistles (annoyed the hell out of me) and leave the bells to that Pompey plonker.
The transfer market has changed, a lot of players aren’t available until the end of May and beyond, clubs won’t let players go until they get a replacement, as we seen with Chaplin, agents are scurrying about trying to get clubs for their clients and there is unfortunately a bit of a pecking order prem, championship, division 1&div2
I obviously don’t know but JCH as an example might now be surplus or it could be Biamou or Robins is happy with those two and Bakayoko, remember we have Jodie Jones back soon. I have a feeling though one will leave perhaps on loan until the next window in January.

Apparently he's agreed terms at both clubs and now needs to decide. No brainer surely

What normally happens is once the medical has been passed the registration doc's have to be lodged with the FA
Only then is the transfer official
Unfortunately in these days of social media news leaks out early more often than not
Clubs only make the official announcement once they have confirmation from the FA

You've not seen either Chaplin or the guy from Walsall play, so your post is a load of supposition.

Why is Barry Manilow singing a Four Tops song in your head?

Really, is he going to PSG, Marseille or Monaco?
Only if we get Naymar straight swap

But we have sense of what sort of player Chaplin is, the striker that plays of the big man, so at least you can suggest that he fills the obvious hole we have. You can similarly argue that the Walsall guy is adding a skill we already have. Can't imagine two of JCH, Max and this guy in the same team. So supposition or not it is a reasonable call

What? Why do I think it was one of his? Atleast I can blame being too young for this one

I see on his account he has a tribute to Barry Chuckle - didn’t strike me as the type for chuckle brothers humour - don’t judge a book and all that.

I think he's saying that Barry Manilow sang a song called I write the songs, but he didn't actually write it.

Ah! That makes sense (although I didn’t know he had a hit called that, if you could call it a hit!)
