Scraping the bottom of the barrel by now in our striker search.

We're in need of a striker to contribute with some goals. I'm not convinced our current squad (+ Burke) have enough goals in them.

This video sums up Burke pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTtnV8vWDZA

Have you seen him play?

He'll probably be the only loan signing with a view...

No wonder we're signing anyone proper if we're wasting time on the likes of Burke. Keanish signing, he probably reminds him a little of a young Kevin Gallacher.

I'd take Akinfenwa over Burke. He'll emulate Breos first season if he signs.

Thierry Henry was a winger when Wenger signed him. And there ends any comparison.

Just trying to make sense of it all. He'll probably sign for someone before the deadline.

Tommy Doyle to Hamburger SV on loan.

Can't believe Obafemi hasn't been announced by club x yet. If he ends up staying at Soton then he must be on some gigantic wages there. Anything else doesn't make sense to me.

What's Freddy Adu up to these days?

They never post anything that can jeopardise their relationship with the club. Always names a player we were chasing or just when we're about to sign him. If the club wants to cast some bait, then they'll let them name them too, like Obafemi. O'Rourke is freelance I believe, so he doesn't have the same ties to the club.

Good player, but never really fulfilled his promise. I have a feeling Mowbray wants someone quicker, rather than another target man. Gallagher can fill that role.

Only if he doesn't sign we'll know it's totally separate.

If you say so...

Obafemi's contract runs out next summer, so maybe he's asking for too much wages, or this is part of a clever deal to get the Armstrong price down.

We should have had a replacement deal lined up as soon as Armstrong left. I'm fairly confident Obafemi wasn't on our shortlist before Southampton won the contest for Arma.

Worrying times. While it's positive that some of our academy players will get the nod, we also need to expand our scouting and bring in players with resale potential. Not many players worth north of £1m in our squad come next summer.

Total shambles if we don't sign one player on a permanent contract this window. We won't have a single buy option in any of the loan deals, and the club has know for ages that Armstrong was a goner sooner or later.

Got a goal against the run of play, brilliant by Gallagher. Thought he put in a real shift today. Midfield was lacking and Travis had a difficult task doing the running for Poveda as well, who did not impress me (mostly defensively). Don't think Mowbray can afford to start with Breo and Poveda with our current 'style' of football. Turned the tide when Morsy got sent off, he's a player I hate seeing on the opposition's team sheet. Always great battles between him and Travis I feel. Could have snatched a goal with a little more quality but in the end relieved to get a point today. Magloire played a good half too, looked slimmer than before and quicker on the turn.

Interesting that JRC played right-back tonight for the U23s, seems clear that's where Mowbray sees him and he did favour him over Nyambe last season. If it happens again this season then there's zero chance of Ryan staying, despite being the superior player. JRC is a good utility player but he's another average Joe for me, Bennett mkII. No names leaked from the list of 5-6 that Mowbray mentioned a fortnight ago?

Mowbray said he had 5-6 options on the striker front. Not sure what's the hold-up, but as far as I can see Obafemi hasn't moved anywhere yet so perhaps Mowbray is still hopeful that he can pull off a deadline 'coup'.

Small squad, think Chapman will get his chance to impress and might still come good. Didn't exactly pull up any trees last season so will have to continue to impress when called upon. Haven't seen Poveda play but looks full of tenacity, flair and pace - an upgrade from Dolan so I see him starting ahead of Tyrhys who is nice to have come on from the bench. Still waiting for some permanent signings, a goalscorer is needed. Perhaps Breo is staking his claim for a spot down the middle and uses it as leverage in his negotiations. Brighton lad probably not signing now though, right?
