Let's hope Schlotterbeck fares better!

The more we spend, the shitter our signings seem to be.

Sure all three parties have to agree if there's no break or recall clause agreed between the clubs beforehand. But if we go out and sign another centre forward, it will be pretty clear to all parties concerned that Mubama won't be getting much game time.

Need a Judo coach. Learning how to fall is a key component!

Sadly accurate. Getting them out the door and off the wage bill would be its own win though.

The dream to cover all deficiencies... Centre forward that can win a header and control a ball. This is the priority. Wide forward that can hopefully supplant Edozie's place in the match day squad. Id sell Edozie if there's any takers he's willing to move to. Depending on Janders fitness over the next few weeks, a dynamic midfielder. A right back capable of challenging and rotating with Bree. Depending how Abbott does over the Christmas period, another CB. I do think we've missed THB's aerial prowess this season. Definitely should be returning Mubama and utilising the loan market. Might be ambitious but I'd love to see us make a loan approach for Max Dowman.

That's about as good as it could have been. Although there are several cases of players coming back from dislocated shoulders after similar time scales only to need surgery later down the road as they're still in discomfort. Hopefully this isn't one of those cases.

Bree and especially Scienza are excellent examples of the kind of player you can find that aren't internationals or have glitzy CV's. We could do with a few more signings like them. I'm hoping Spors has a few aces up his sleeve for this January.

He may meet your full international with 100+ premier league appearances expectations but in more ways than one he fails the available metric 😉 They don't have to be as good as Bree to be a capable back up. They don't have to be quick, classy or amazing. "Capable of staying fit", "mobility comparible to Bree, Manning, Welington..." and "is a right back" shouldn't be too hard a search requirement even for our scouting team.

Robinson's played both sides for us. And I think he would improve us.

Also get Robinson recalled. Fellows has clearly fallen out of favour with Tonda. Edozie should be allowed to leave.

My point is, we don't want Bree's absence to mean being forced to play a different way. JWP is even slower now than he was then. Both our fullbacks push high in our system. He's fine further down the pecking order as I said but I want a natural right back with good availability to be ahead of him in the queue. I don't want JWP having to get pulled out of his best position if Bree's out because we don't have a fit right back to fill in.

I didn't say quick and you make it sound like being mobile is some outlandish expectation! A natural right back that can stay fit is the requirement. Fitting our system should be a prerequisite for the club.

24 year old Ward-Prowse no doubt had a little extra in pace compared with today. As 4th choice, he's fine. Need a natural fit and available right back behind Bree though.

Better to me means availablity. I also think there are right backs in this division and beyond that don't match Roerslev's 100+ premier league appearances and single cap but are better players. James Bree being one. I think you're putting a little too much credence to that point. We don't need to find someone with the same CV. They of course don't have to be the same level as Bree to be decent cover. Availablity is key.
