If you have one signing to come in in the transfer window, what position and which current first teamed losses out.
God I hate this league.

I'd take Lionel Messi and rotate him with Joe Rowley.

Jan Oblak in goal; Joe Anyon / Cameron Dawson allowed to go.

Change one outfield player and every other team will just try to stifle him. The only way to stop a goalie influencing the game is to stop shooting at him.

Has to be a first choice keeper! With Tommy retiring and Anyon out.

Why stop at one, Warfey has confirmed 5 incoming, two from Forest

No mention of any from Barcelona so I reckon we discount Messi

I'm assuming they'll be more if Dennis and/or Rowley go.

It's got to be a squad addition - a goal scorer. Competition for Dennis which is provided neither by O'Grady, Ugwu, or Diego at the moment. Who will score goals if Dennis isn't available?

Quite hard for Ugwu to provide competition if he can't run.

I'm wondering why Dennis needs competition. In the best scoring run of his life there was no competition at Curzon Ashton, now free from competition he's scoring for us. Maybe he only feels like a big fish when he's the only one in the barrel.

I see Jack has confirmed who he wants to sign in the window when he was interviewed by Ellie Biggerstaff (the media student) -as per the video posted on i follow.
A bloke called Balance. More Balance.

Well Spain didn't choose a striker, they picked Cesc Fabregas ........

Being unavailable doesn't involve competition, it's having a reserve and we've got that. Ugwu got 19 goals last season, we've yet to really see what Jack's influence might do for him.

Of course Jack might actually think that selling Dennis might give him the chance to get something even better.

i think amongst jack's achievements as manager so far is that he has taken some of the urgency out of this. when he first arrived I was thinking we desperately need to have 5 or 6 players ready to hit the first team on jan 1st, now I think he has created a competitive first 11, yes room for improvement but I don't feel any longer at the moment that we have to get this sorted on first week of the window. early to say regarding the keeper, generally there needs to be better back up, beyond the first 11 there's not too much in the squad to challenge genuinely for first team places

Why don't you simply enter into the spirit of the first post in the thread? That's all I did.

And so did I, I wanted a goalie, okay Jan Oblak is flying a bit high ........... All I pointed out to you is that some players don't do better when under competition for their place. Dennis may well be one looking at his record. He's always been a big fish in a puddle when he's done well.

For me an extra body up front to go with perhaps Dennis, Ugwu, O'Grady and German is probably a minor priority behind a retired keeper and a replacement with broken arm.

BUT all of us assume Jack would like to hang on to Dennis ....... what if he thinks selling him is a way to build his team in January? Jack seems to be getting everything right. If that was his thinking my point was - that would change everything and I'D HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU except a striker wouldn't be competition. Is it that so outrageous a thought, that Jack might sell one asset to get us better or more? And if by January Ugwu were fit and ripping everybody apart in training, O'Grady were showing some form and we got a big offer for Dennis wouldn't you be shuffling priorities in your head too?

I thought that was what the original post wanted us to do, both serious and funny - a good post designed to make us think ........ I'd still like Jan Oblak though, fifteen clean sheets to the end of the season would do me!
