Right back is nearly a bigger concern. If Cash got injured we are screwed. Bogarde and Lindelof were dreadful there against weak EL opposition. My thoughts on Konsa playing there are well known, Emery hasn't tried him there in a long time.

Just going to have to roll with it I guess. Ollie pulling up last night is bad but Emery really had no other option. Tammy hopefully off to a flier v Brentford.


I like Garcia, but his fitness issues are a worry.

Konsa can play right back and we’ve got a few fit centre backs now.

Stick a little buy-back in there and that doesn't seem like a bad option.

Yep, agreed, he needs the games more than anything. I'm a little surprised he hasn't been invovled in the last few weeks but maybe this has been on the cards for a while so we've planned for him not being here.

Has Wilson ever been in a first team matchday squad ?

I didn't realise that he is already 20, ie older than JJA (and probably Kadan as well)

I've only just realised but Fisnik Asllani from there has been linked with everyone recently (including us) so this could well be them getting a replacement in early.

Could well be that we're agreeing to this with half an eye on it effectively turning into a player+cash swap.

I'd be happy with that, he's another one who looks like he has everything you'd want to step up and become a top striker in the next year or 2.

Are we going to replace Guessand or just bank the dough and use Bailey?

Emey suggested the latter this afternoon. I don't know though, he seems to love a deal.

Ah right, cheers.  So we're probably done and from now until the end of the season it's a case of being demanding of ourselves, individually and collectively, and in our way / structure.  And praying to the football gods that we don't get any more injuries.

If it's a loan with an option, there's not much to bank.

There's almost no chance the option is going to be taken up.
