Harratt is one of the best poachers football has seen. Trust me. Maybe he is... but he did naff all at Guiseley, naff all at Harrogate, scored a couple for PV then done naff all at Bradford. He hasn't set the world alight anywhere in LG2 or below. One of the best strikers to grace the PL doesn't select him. Hope I am wrong, but cannot see him being the one to save us this season. Does having been a great striker matter when you're a shit manager ? |

Does having been a great striker matter when you're a shit manager ? At the Sutton game last Saturday the ball went out for a throw in; Mark Hughes controlled the ball and attempted to pass it back to the player for the throw in. Instead, he shanked the ball into the crowd so he laughed and bowed to the crowd who all joined in the fun. |

I heard a whisper Simpson could be February also before in contention. Hopefully not!!! I might have mentioned before but I wouldn’t be hanging hopes on Simpson.I know he’s another body,and he might hit the ground running but he was a signing for the future and one to develop. He may just take to it straight away but be more of a bonus than anything planned in my opinion. He might end up been fit sooner,come in and be exactly what we need though,who knows |

The priorities for me are Ward, Tino, Jones, Boyle and Camara. Hogg would be good to have but if fit he will probably start and we seem to be able to keep clean sheets without him. Also we need an attacking midfield to score more goals. Boyle to give us a real left sided centre back and without Pearson he seems the one most likely to go in where it hurts.

Where it says “after the World Cup” does this mean fit ready to go in our first game back? Based on current info, yep I'm more concerned about what "After World Cup (Hopefully)" means!? They definitely weren't back in contention BEFORE the World Cup, so surely either they're DEFINITELY back after the World Cup, or their career is over. No "hopefully" about it? |

Like others I'd be looking at our loans out in January. Who can come in and step into the first team? From what I see, Critchlow is ready (and is able to cover a problem position). Harratt, once disciplined, may be ready. And REG is undoubtedly ready, especially given that Turton will be out for the bulk of the campaign. Others I'd be more touch and go with. Austerfield, for instance, may still be in need of 6 months lower down. And if Koroma won't sign a contract, is it worth him coming back? I'd perhaps leave him out there to allow him to find a move, much as I think he's got something we need, if he's not going to be here next season. In any event, I'd hope for about 7 additional bodies in and around the fit first team when the new year begins. Our biggest weakness has been our strength in depth, and we will benefit from the World Cup break to the tune of 4+ players regardless. Crichlow is ready ? He's played League 2, he couldn't get a game when he went to League 1. REG has barely played for Wigan. Difficult to say with Crichlow. He apparently excelled at Swindon & as far as I understand ( Bilo the Bantam should be able to confirm) he's doing well for the chickens. Didn't get in the side at Plymouth, but they were chasing promotion & they had a settled defence that was doing well. On the other hand, the fact we sent him back to League 2 instead of getting him a move to Lg1 suggests that the priority was fixing him up with a club where he could make a name for himself - at a level he was already proven at - rather than developing him with a view to breaking into our first team. REG should be brought back if only because the loan at Wigan doesn't appear to be doing him any favours. |

My goodness, Tino looks a different person in the Marbella videos.
Training/Nutrrition or Illness ? I have no idea, but he looks 2 stone lighter. Will be very interesting to see the effect on the pitch. Let’s face it he has never looked fit for us.

We have to send him back then and find a replacement. An excellent player on his day but we've seen it only twice in nearly a year of him being here.
Coventry away last season and WBA at home.
Sorry to say but his injuries have been one reason why we are where we are. We might not get someone as good but if they're fit then it's more use to us.

That's sad news on Tino.
However, sending him back to Chelsea and Mbete back to City frees up 2 loans. I think with Ayina being names on the bench last Saturday that indicates that Mbete will definitely be going back.
We can have up to 5 players on loan at any one time. So if those 2 go back, then we only have KKH in on loan.
In January there should be loads of Premier League and Championship players with only 6 or 18 months of their contracts left that are desperate for a loan deal to showcase themselves and secure new contracts or moves in the summer.
