Is Rory Wilson not rated or something? Bit odd we have no senior attacking back up and he can't even get in ahead of kids as he is 20 in January.

We gave him a nice new deal in the summer yet not loaned him out and he can't even get in matchday 20 when we are down to the bare bones.

If he does then we can still recall Gauci, the worlds No. 256th

We saw how upset players were about Ramsey going.
We shall soon see if Martinez going has a similar negative impact

That bench is the weakest for a few years. 

Big game now I suppose.

Yep its going to be a massive 24 hours for the club. If we dont get 3 or 4 in its going to be  a long season

Loaning out so many players with no replacements seems abit silly
Had to be done otherwise we won't be playing in Europe for a while.

Well, it's not the same old stale side that's for sure. I'm optimistic!

Me too

Martinez isn't going because of PSR, he's going because he wanted to go.

If it had been about PSR, we wouldn't have been doing it 24 hours from the end of the window, either.

The only loan I regret is Barrenechea who - from the little I saw - could have done a good job for us

Tonight's is a massive game for us and - hopefully - for the new-look front three.

5 kids on the bench, plus Bogarde who isn't far off, what a time to be alive.

Martinez might be sold so can't play. Guehi might be sold so starts.

I'd say that Palace are obviously not expecting a credible bid so will sit on Guehi till at least January.
Which may make Canvot more gettable for us, perhaps.
