Think that’s fair, but we do still have Davies in the event of 2 injuries to FB’s. So not like we have no one currently. I just don’t overly rate Ake, he’s alright..

I don't think we are in for him at all, a guy with 17,000 followers has posted it. Dont think he's that good either, also not sure why he would swap City's bench for ours....

Meant if we sign an attacker. We'd probably have to drop an over 21 defender.

Yes but as I said in my other post we’d just not register Gil for PL.

If we bring in a new number 10/left winger then I suspect Tel wouldn’t be registered for the CL (though it could be Kulu if his injury appears to be one that will keep him out until December)

I agree. I think Ake is better than Davies though, so we’d be strengthening both PL and CL squads. Hincapie is the right signing here but I think he is too expensive for us.

I think Takai would go on loan personally. Frank seems to want ready made solutions now and to allow young players to develop properly??? Ake would answer an area of the squad which needs depth. Experienced too, plus the Dutch connection back there...wanted to ask you while I'm here, do you think Williams-Barnett could be a surprise squad inclusion/breakout this season? I see how aggressive the goons are in blooding raw talent. Whenever I have watched WB I think he's got fantastic skill but cannot decide if his (obviously needing to develop still) physicality would be enough? BTW, very much enjoyed your contributions to the transfer window/squad discussions...

I think Takai has caused a real issue with this plantar fasciitis. We've had no way of evaluating him as a bridge to Dragusin's return. And that condition could also clear up tomorrow, or take a year to settle down.

I'm not particularly a fan of Ake. Especially so soon after watching Richy and Kudus run rings around him! A loan might not be the worst, but I'd stick with Davies for now and focus on scouting a specialist LB for January.

I've never really seen Williams-Barnett, other than a few clips. 16 is very young though, and he's not especially big (Moore in contrast always had a bit of bulk). If anything I can see Frank keeping a tight 25 man squad, with little bleed from the academy. We've loaned out all our best U21 (11 so far). All that remain around the fringes are: Takai (TBC), Vuskovic (TBC), Gunter (to loan?), Craig (to sell), Scarlett (to sell or loan), Byfield (very young), Olusesi (maybe a year bossing the U21s will suit him at the moment?) and Williams-Barnett (very young)

More like we have Danso, Romero, VDV and Davies right now. Dragusin not until New Year when all is said and done (i.e. Franks's had a chance to see him, bring him back gradually) and Takai is an unproven Prem player who again Frank has not seen enough because he was injured during pre-season.
I think Frank absolutely wants Vuskovic for the future and wants him to get a little more under his belt. Ake absolutely addresses two areas of the squad which need reinforcement i.e. LCB and LB.
I think it'd be an excellent deal to make.

I though Dragusin was due back expected back very soon. I get your qualification, but as a 4th choice CB, easing him into easier LC and CL ties is probably all we'd ask of him at this stage of the season even if he was fully fit

Any legs in the Semenyo link? If so, would he be a good fit. Dont see many Bournemouth games, but he does seem to chip in with his fair share of goals

He signed a new deal only in June. Sounds like the sort of story that's made up just before a player faces the club supposedly interested in them for "added narratives"...

Did someone post that Simons had suffered a bad injury in the recent past?
Click to expand...

It was a bad ankle injury a year ago. The issue isn't that he didn't come back, it's that he's looked no way near as explosive as he used to be since he has returned.

It's just a question of weather he will get back to his previous level, or if this is where he'll be now. Similar things to we've been asking about Bentancur.

Williams-Barnett is a creative, goal scoring midfielder at present, he likes to have freedom of the field, he chases back and tackles but doesn't have a defensive mindset yet. Big 2 years coming up for him and although he is young I would like to see him on bench for Doncaster game if we pick a sensible side.

He looks mustard. Would very much like to see him get some minutes against Doncaster.
