I doubt Williams will be.

The other two are possibles.

There was no Vic either.

Vic had a back injury !

Aaah.

But he still wasn't in the squad though.

Can't believe so many are anti Dion. Would be worried if he left. Not convinced that Vic is more prolific in front of goal so unless a championship type goalscorer is incoming (and which team wants to lose one of those players with the window about to shut) then I really hope he stays.

If they both left , we have a front 2 of Collins and McAtee . I can live with that , just need a decent back up .

Going behind her back might have avoided the issue too tbf, so to speak

Full body cast will go well with his arm bandage.

We’d certainly miss him if he did go, he adds a different element n attack to all the others. My problem with him is that he’s a loner and not strike partner material and doesn’t really link in with any of our other forwards. I’d be reluctant to see him go though. I may get pelters for it but I think we’re missing Bod?

I agree 100%

🤦‍♂️

FFS, I think we’re missing Andy Walker.

I'm not comparing the ability of McAtee/Collins with the great Nicola Anelka, but I think Anelka took 11 league games to get off the mark, didn't he?

Oh, and I think Collins has credit in the bank after last season.

[W.cramp]

Surely we will enter the bidding war for ivan toney, I like how we are watching and waiting to jump in at the last minute

I think McAtees been just fine as a 10 come 8. Plenty of quick through balls and shit loads of tackling and tenacity.

Collins is just fine. 

I wouldn't have Bod lacing their bleedin boots.

[deeane Koontz]

I find myself wincing everytime McAtee gets tackled or goes in for them with the pack of tic tacs he has for shinpads 🥴

Some reckless challenges in this league

tbh, I agree. I’m just sick and tired of having possibly the best squad in the league (attacking wise) and failing to even register shots on target. 
 

a front 3 of Charles, Collins and McAtee anywhere else would be lethal.

Would love to see them in a 4 3 3 (attacking) 4 5 1 (defending) system. He's married to having 3 centrebacks and wingbacks though.  Reckon it'll give them more freedom with a solid midfield behind them.

Aye as @deane koontzalludes 3 up top is fine with a 4-3-3 or other variations.

You can't lose a midfielder by playing 3 forwards and also lose a midfielder by playing 3 centre backs as well.

You're asking way too much of the wing backs and 2 remaining midfielders.

Especially if one of those midfielders is glued to back line as a holder.

Its either one or the other for me.

He's got a cracking set of pins on him, bit like Jack Grealish's and I don't fancy blokes either.

Liverpool taking Chiesa from Juve for 10mil. 

What a cracking bit of business that is

I have heard Evatt is resting him because Brentford want him as the new Ivan Toney once they sell the real Ivan Toney.

How come Juve want rid of him? Seems a decent player.

Not been the same since his injury. New manager, new signings and different way of playing.

But he prefers 4-3-3. He's said so.
