Discussing the potential departure of Dembele earlier this week, Fry said: "There is no way we will sell him on transfer deadline day. “Because that would give us no time to sign a replacement.”

Gallagher and Khadra are injured. Chapman and Khadra are midfielders. Hedges is a winger. Gallagher rarely gets played as a striker. We've got Brereton and Butterworth.

That's what I was saying earlier, we've got one fit striker at the moment who has hit the net in a league match.

The Chileans are a giddy bunch aren't they.

Giles is a brilliant signing if it's happened, I hope we can sign him permanently next season.

When he's fit he's not someone we can rely on. I know he scored the other day but it's few and far between. We need a goalscorer so we can have a plan B if the false 9 isn't working.

Got a chest injury hasn't he?

Some have been calling him an arse for years.

Our only fit strikers are Brereton and Butterworth and there seems no urgency to bring anyone else in. I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, we need a striker. We've needed a striker since the beginning of the season but luckily Brereton stepped up. We can't rely on him every game.

Paterson has scored 8 so far for Swansea. Only thing is he's 30 and as we know Venkys don't like spending on older players.

Paterson would be good.

Left wing back but also midfield. Good at set pieces. He's a good un. Joint 3rd top in the assists league. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/top-scorers/assists

Course it was.

Veljko Paunoivc on John Swift. "He's under contract and is our player. We are in transfer market which is open so if some offer comes, it will always be considered. "We don't want to lose him, but this is football and the club is in the situation that it is and has to consider everything." Amazingly Bournemouth aren't in for him.

I'd love to see Phil Jones back in the squad, if he can stay fit he'd be brilliant, a throwback to signing a die hard defender like Kevin Moran, and if we did make to the the PL, perfect to take over from Van Hecke. He'd be cover for Travis, full back, central defence. But money, injuries, having an already solid back line, demands of guaranteed first team football. Wouldn't happen.

Or the false 9 Tony has been waiting for.

He'll be on silly wages.

They've signed Freddie Woodman on loan.

Basically, Rothwell going, Rothwell not going. We've put a daft bid in for someone at Bournemouth, which may or may not be true. We want Giles, Paterson and Bournemouth want to sign every available player in League 1 and the Championship.

I'd be happy with Giles and Patterson. https://the72.co.uk/261202/qpr-and-blackburn-rovers-plotting-late-moves-for-swansea-citys-jamie-paterson/

Bournemouth are interested 😄

We've spent £700,000 I think so far and wasn't the rumour that we were going to spend over a couple of million. I expect another couple of signings, one permanent the other a loan. And I expect a few of ours to go out on loan.
