Could argue that if Cantwell can recapture his form, there is potentially a 10-15m player there in 12-18 months. If Gueye somehow scores 20 goals this season theres a huge potential profit there. Not every saleable asset has to be 19-23

I think it's clear that isn't going to happen. For me, Dembele for 800k is a better move than two young kids on loan. We wouldn't pay for Dembele and Cantwell is my guess, which is ridiculous.

Won't be in the squad tomorrow though.

Elliot playing it as though Eustace was out voted by the recruitment team. Personally think they didn't want to spend on Cantwell and Dembele.

Think he's out of contract next summer.

Dolan, Siggy, McFadzean, Batth, Weimann, Beck, Baker, plus whatever loans they get over the line today. Could argue we get our loanees back too I suppose.

If today goes as planned, that will be 8 first team squad members leaving next summer. Short sighted window, from a short sighted club. Although could be argued a lot about football is short term these days.

Just repeating what Nixon is saying about 2 new wingers I imagine, be very surprised to see 2 come in.

If it's a genuine back injury he'll probably never be back properly. Imagine he will drift down the leagues like Butterworth. Still think we're desperate for a center half, can't have McFadzean and Batth as our only cover there.

Brighton lad plays on the right, although is left footed.

Yeah in an ideal world if you could get one of them off the books and and add another quick winger that would be perfect.

A center back and a striker short for me.

Reckon he will fly over and get everything done for the deadline tomorrow? I don't.

Signed for Oxford.

No chance of Ryo now.

It's rare but I think they are still out there. Too much emphasis on being able to pass a ball 10 yards these days.

Keeper- Toth really poor choice, looks another Whalsted to me, half decent shot stopper, doesn't command area. Will have to hope he's better than he seems Left back - Beck, pleased with this one looks decent, quick, coming off another good loan, although appears injury prone Midfield - Baker, good experience. Living near Stoke had plenty of opinions of him, all a bit mixed but good experienced option who will get plenty of game time for me. Winger - Cozier-Duberry no experience at all, a complete wild cars who is highly rated. Looks like he brings some pace that we desperately need "No 10" - Cantwell seems to be a bonus signing as automatically thought it was a straight fight between Dolan/Siggy in that role. Talent unquestionable, just depends if he can get that hunger back. Out of them all, still think it's Cantwell that doesn't get done. Someone will come in for him at the last minute I reckon. If all that business did happen, we're still a CB and a ST short in my opinion. Mcfadzean and Batth can hardly move, while Gueye and Ohashi I feel will run out of steam by Christmas leaving us with only Leonard in reserve. Ideally you get Leonard and Vale out and get someone else in similar to Gueye.

Can't believe anyone thinks we don't need a another CB. McFadzean and Batth can barely move! We're in massive trouble with them pair as back ups.

Dembele isn't going to happen now surely.

He's never played a game of men's professional football.

Rewriting history a bit here Rodwell was 27, only one year older than Cantwell when he signed here!

Waiting for better options in other words.

As it currently stands, we have 6 players from our first team squad walking out the door next summer that we need to replace already. I reckon we add at least 2 more to that by Friday.

Yep. I'm convinced it doesn't happen. Very easy to "agree" a deal. Let's see if he actually signs.

Agreeing and signing are two completely different things!
