I bet we sign more than we "need". Perhaps a loan as well as a first choice. | |

Adrian Mariappa plus a young loanee from WBA? Plus Baggott to step up for the Micky Mouse cups. Not sure we want 2 permanent CBs if we have Donacien and Ndaba. There comes a point when we have to stop buying people if Cook wants a smaller squad. | | | |

Part of that equation is presumably who leaves. Downes seems close but Jackson hasn’t had much chat all summer. I don’t see anyone else going for big money or reducing our wage bill hugely. Perhaps Donacien or Nsiala. | |

So... on 16:00 - Aug 9 with 2568 views | tractordownsouth | I’d like to think so. Even if Toto’s out, we’ll have the new CB, Edmundson, Woolf, plus Baggott and Ndaba who can deputise. More than enough. | |

And Donacien can cover centre back as Burns can drop to right back if need be. | |

Baggott and Ndaba can't and shouldn't be relied upon though, really so i would expect us to sign another. Both those youngsters will go out on loan. | |

Cant be relied on, but should be given a chance in the odd game or two to gain experience and show they can step up if needed. If we never use them we’ll never know. Some just take the chance and don’t look back. I’d love to see them given some minutes. | |

Surely they’re better of on loan. What’s the point of keeping young lads at the club for the odd chance they get a game? These lads have shown promise, but I don’t think they’re ready to step up yet. Look at Woolfy, he’s a few years ahead, but he’s still learning. I’m trying to think of one young lad who’s come in and become an instant regular. It took a few years and a good loan for Downes to become a regular. I don’t think the first team will now be a testing ground or finishing school for the academy. | | | |

Although we can get a free transfer in after August 31st, but I tend to agree. I think we'll get 2 CBs in | | | |

Unless Nsiala's so injured that we don't plan on registering him for the league then I don't see how we can fit 2 more CBs in the squad? Unless it's an U21 which would be complicated in its own way. [Post edited 9 Aug 2021 17:22]

Even if Toto is out for a while, I still think we only need one. A new experienced CB alongside Edmundson with Woolfenden on the bench and Ndaba fourth choice, with Donacien another option, is enough. We might sign two, but I don’t think we have to. | |
| They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all! | Poll: | What hurt more? |

I’m fairness Ndaba is 21 now with first team experience albeit on loan. We should be looking to give him opportunities especially in cases where players are injured. | | | |

But again, hard to see how Ndaba gets registered to play at all if we sign 1 new CB and CM. That'd be 20 outfield players over-20 KVY, Donacien, Penney, Coulson (4 FBs) Nsiala, Woolf, Edmundson, New CB (4 CBs) Evans, Harper, Nolan, New CM (4 CMs) Fraser, Chaplin, Burns, Edwards, Aluko (5 AMs) Bonne, Norwood, Pigott (3 CFs) I don't see how Jackson, El Miz, Ndaba can come into it? | |

I’d forgotten about the 21 player squad limit. 1 it is then! | | | |

Yeah, just seen, so you'd expect Nolan to be on the way out | |

I guess at this point we're on to deciding which of "the survivors" we still want to move on? If we're getting 2 more then Nolan needs to start looking over his shoulder... | |

Seems that way although I think El Miz will be bombed soon as I believe he counts toward the squad limit Also it may be that Ashton knows something we don’t about the squad limit changing or being scrapped as the PFA were protesting it | |

Would need to be both to accommodate 2 new midfielders. | |
