Can we rename this thread 'quotathon central' please.
Makes my eyes bleed ...

Percy using rabbit ears is the way forward for all of us.

Heres a strange one - juventus are looking to loan dougie out and we are interested.

Id take him back 100%. Now he sees the grass isnt greener id have him back for sure

They've given-up on him already? PaulWinch would welcome back with open arms I'm sure but I dunno if he'd get back in our team now, we're too stacked in the middle of the park.

We do have a lot of options in midfield but i think a midfield of luiz onana youri and kamara is up there with the best in the league.

Yes i remember  but you asked me a question and i answered it. I feel the point is valid. We have no idea what a cm partnership looks like with onana and kamara yet. It could be the key to more clean sheets

I've seen the reports about them making available for a loan in January and our name was thrown out but I've not seen anything to say we're interested. Going by how frustrated Emery would often get with Doug and how we've planned for his departure ever since we recruited Tielemans, I can't see Emery being interested.

Yeah logically i think you are right but he scores a lot of goals even if some are pens.

Onana i think has most goals for us in league in that area of the pitch. Dont think youris scored in league yet

Delap - does everything that Watkins does, and scores as well!

Nope. Right back and some pace up front/out wide. I still think Zaha would have been a good addition.

Yeah we do if its a loan. Luiz onana and kamara would be a tasty midfield

Also scores goals, creates and his injury record is excellent.

Delap is a fine young player, but Ipswich paid £20m for him a couple of months ago, and he's already averaging better than a goal every other game for a relegation-threatened team.  Anyone wanting to sign him will be paying at least treble what Ipswich did, and that's not going to be us!

We already have a very promising young forward scoring goals.  If we need more options up front, I would suggest it has to be a poacher, capable of finishing some of the excellent chances we're creating when we're on top, even if that means we lose something in our build-up play.

If Bailey doesn't regain his form soon, and Philogene continues his slower-than-expected development into a regular first-team starter, then I think a wide forward would be a good move in January.   I'm hoping something clicks for at least one of them in the next month or two, but if it doesn't, I don't think we can go an entire season without a productive wide forward.  Even if it's a loan.  If we get to the knock-out stages of the Champions League I could see us adding one decent player to the squad, even if temporarily.

I think we'll need to. The poor form of Bailey, and JPB's inability to be a replacement is really impacting the whole team, including Ollie.

A pipe dream but Nkunku would be a great addition. Can play across the frontline, not getting much Premier League game time at Chelsea and he’d be pure profit on FFP terms for them.

I thought I heard on the radio yesterday that he was their top scorer.
