Still think we are light in central midfield.

There might be one more as defensive cover but happy with what we have done. We need to spend the next month drilling the buggers on shape on the training ground.

Central defence looks light to me. What happens if/when Elphick or Chester get injured or suspended?. No real experienced cover other than Baker. A concern.

offense is the best defense.
We'll go old skool....2-3-5

That was the first formation my dad ever taught me on Subbuteo in the late 60s and it was out of date by then!

old skool 2-3-5? ; all we need now is Kevin Keegan. I'd love it, me.

We also need to remember that this doesn't mean the shopping is done for the season. If we need to add one or two of quality in January to kick start a promotion push then we will do it.

Hart to Torino and wilshire to Bournemouth....almost like the internationals aren't as good as they're often told

Some fall from grace alright

Seem to recall Hart having a fine season at club level last year, hard to believe his stock would have fallen so low that only a midtable Italian club team would be interested

I know I am biased but I find it astonishing that Paddy Power are quoting us as 19/1 to win the league. (Norwich 4.5/1 and Barcodes 4/1).
So tempted to stick an each way on (top 3) before this we click into gear..(we must do soon surely).

A solid time to have a flutter. It's dictated in large part by how last season ended and of course how we have started. Get a few quid on!

I would take Mcgeady. He's a tricky git that would give us an added option going forward in wide areas.

14/1 with Bet365. I'll have some of that (each way top 3).

Going to be strapped in for the roller coaster ride of emotions, looking at the clubs swooping for players having dipped into their war chests on this deadline day SSN bonanza. Will be spine tingling watching Big Ben chime at 11 and the window slamming shut for everybody  (bar Arsenal) until January.
