I guess, but when we've got wide players looking to put the ball in there's going to be no-one there.  And we've scored a few from those opportunities.  Stacey and Rowe overload the right side, you don't really want a third drifting there.

He looks really interesting though, when he strikes he doesn't go for the orthodox angles he plays the reverse shot really nice.  But level of opponent looked pretty poor.

That's fair. But again fluidity, Stacey and Rowe may overload the right at the moment, but if Rowe drifts inside and hwang drifts outside then there's still only two out there 😉

We shall see, I'm just not for bashing a player before he's even kicked a ball for the club. If he comes in and he's shiote then I'll be the first to admit it.

Yep and we still havent got the Man C player in either. 

This is a farce compared to getting Duffy, Barnes etc in early

Omo upto £20m with add on is less than the reported £20m+ touted that we turned down in Jan?

Am I missing something - are we not in the same transfer window?

Why so ? I read on here that Idah and Gibson were s***.

Better be at least 20 million with a solid proven replacement lined up or we are up that paddle with a creak or.. something like that

Brought to you by the guy who suggested Omo needed to go on loan this season. Jesus.

Absolutely. I did mean “as it stands” though. It’s just the young lad Warner isn’t it?

Looks like it. With no replacement for Omobamidele, it leaves us with Duffy, Gibson, Warner (without a professional appearance, if I'm not mistaken) and Hanley (still a few months from full fitness, in all likelihood). I'm not counting Sorensen, because he's not a centre back.

Surely we won't agree to the Omobamidele sale without a replacement?

Oh do relax. We know they're working on multiple deals. There's over an hour left on the clock. If we were here with no word of any incomings then I'd agree. But we're not. So hold your horses, get those toys back in your pram and wait and see.

i think its a reference to the business done earlier in the window

We were linked to a Brazilian CB in Jan. could he be incoming?

Oh I'm quite intrigued by his highlights.  It was more of a comparison between him and Moore.  I'd prefer Hwang to come in as I do like the unorthodox, but Moore is a much more traditional forward - and with how we're playing would probably yield a better goal tally.

We will get another CB and a striker or they wouldnt of sanctioned Omo's deal. People just need to stop crying

You would like to think so. But we've been here before a few times, both under the current regime and the previous one.

While people can debate whether we need a striker, we absoutely do need a central defender if Omo goes. I hope we've got someone lined up sharpish.

Dead right. It does seem odd to have let JT out on loan and lose Omo in one day if there isn’t the certainty of someone coming in.  Unless Hanley is closer to fitness than anyone realises, but that feels unlikely.

Not as far as I'm aware?

Cannon just signed to Leicester, £7m

[Essjayess 307]

Connor's last  sentence a bit worrying...NCFC now racing to find a replacement...i dont like that "to find" part...feels like its far from  near to get someone in...deary me...all this  past few days  worry about finding a  striker to cover Josh's injury and now  its back to our  old and usual achilles heel...CB shortages. Wonderful.

I think a deal in principle still has to be submitted prior to 11pm

[mrdi 374]

At this late stage, we're probably going to have to go in for someone either from Rotherham or one of the Sheffield clubs to replace Andy O, right?

Unsurprising, the leak to the press was always likely to be agent tapping

Free agents can get acquired after the window closes.

An impressive highlights reel as they always are, if somewhat dated (assume during lockdown).

He's everything Sargent isn't. Seems to attack from wide positions like Rowe, Fassnacht and Sainz. I'm losing the plot a bit now tbh.

Probably one of the Sheffield night clubs the way this is shaping up! 

[ricardo 7,416]

The usual classic fcuk up with centre backs.

I'm expecting Simon Charlton to sign very soon.

Maybe Dion can come out of retirement, he loved a game at center half and a game up front.

That hasn't been the case for at least a decade. The only exception is for an emergency goalkeeper.
