Where do we think Dapo will be heading ? 
 

Who can we afford to bring in which will improve us? 
 

Somewhere down south - maybe a Millwall type

No where.

Not sure he's getting enough time for someone to offer very much.

If he was playing regularly and scoring/assisting then maybe.

Unless of course he says he wants to go, which would charge things.

I can’t see him want to sit on the bench watching us offer nothing going forward each week. 
 

plenty will take a chance on him for me.

I agree- but taking a chance means a small offer. 

That's my point, we're not getting several decent offers while he's doing little. We'd have to hope for a bidding war and I can't see it.

I'm sure he's played more than 3.

About a dozen, I think.

He's made 14 appearances (9 starts) and had 2 shots on target. 0 goals.

He'd fit right in alongside 20-goals Bakayoko then.

Thanks for clarifying.  I just looked at Wiki but obviously not updated recently.  I've rated him in the past but it sounds like that ship has sailed.

It's likely we're again going to be in the market for prospects whose contracts expire in Summer 2023. All fine as long as our scouting has picked out genuine talent and we strengthen in areas that need strengthening. 

[gonzo]

Reckon we will be after a prem loanee.

Hows biscuit knees getting on in Germany?

Not easy to get it on target from left back

Evatt being a bit circumspect about the January window if Lies has quoted him correctly. Says that yes, he is in for a striker but also the go-to media trained phrase about "looking to improve in every position". I suppose it's best to be vague for now, at least until he is sure he can move players on as he might have to depend on them if he can't, but I'm not convinced he has the answers or that the right players are available within our budget - whatever that budget is.

The way I see it is that much of the problem with scoring goals is in the playing style with Charles and Kacha effectively playing as midfielders spending most of their time chasing around well away from the opposition's box - except when Evatt abandons all pretence of having a defence when we're chasing late goals after conceding first yet again. Somehow we've got to get the ball to stick up top and the only striker we have who can do that consistently is JDB and he's proving injury prone. Evatt won't change the playing style so I don't know who he hopes to sign, but if it's a striker who is expected to come deep to challenge for the ball AND score goals aplenty, they're probably out of our price range.

January should be interesting.

Sure I heard he hasnt scored in his last 24 games.   

[auckland_bwfc]

Alfie May could be a shout.....unless he's one of those that saves all his goals for against us

Hope it was Wigan who wanted him. Well, they’ve wanted just about everything else associated with Wanderers.

A goalscorer and some players taller than midgets, please.

[BOWTUN BAKED]

We have goal scorers, we're just not playing them to their strengths.

[W.cramp]

Have we not signed anyone yet.     What date is ok to start booing ?
