Hopefully we manage to get KDH and Dibling done this week.
Pickford
New RB/ O'Brien
Tark
JB
Myko/ Anzou
Idrissa
KDH
Garner/ Charlie
Dibling
Beto
Ndiaye
With us having all of the loan spots left, it would be great if we managed to get another one in who can play across the front positions, a striker and another body in midfield, someone who is big and strong as we are a bit small in stature in that part of the pitch.
A Florentino Luís in with Idrissa would be perfect for us and allow KDH or Dibling to sit in front of the double pivot and force the issue.

"Double pivot" Jesus, what's the world coming to? I hope Moyes uses the low block, high block, medium block and tower block or even the inverted full backs, sounds painful, and definitely the false 9, is this an 8? It's football an easy game made complicated.

So Southampton now want £50 million for Dibling ! Why not go back to our original target, Tom Fellows. A fraction of the price Saints are asking and who also has similar stats to Dibling.

Starting to look a whole lot better ain't it BN?.
Definitely much more confident than last week, we will need our forward line and midfield bulking up pal as AFCOM runs this winter and we could lose, Gana, Ndiaye and Beto for from December to January at quite a busy period, am sure the recruitment team have this in mind. A couple of strong loans would be nice.
Florentino Luis would do nicely too. ?
A happier blue. ???.

Im behind you on all that Big Reg. 1st time I heard of low block was when there was a female pundit 1st working in men's game. She used that term and Graeme Souness was asking what that ment. He didn't look impressed at all. Now everyone's saying it. Plus I've seen the team Roster used instead of squad. Next we'll be having players picking up the ball and throwing it forward. Shoulder pads in bew strip and head guards.

Almost like all the panic was a little over the top ay? Certainly looking up, I think this is just the start and a good few more will turn up before 1st September.

It isn't my choice of play Reg but it is the way that the game has gone and certainly how Moyes has liked to setup in recent years.
Just a simple observation that getting another enforcer in the middle will allow the more cultured footballers and game changers to have greater license to attack, safe in the knowledge that the people behind them are protecting.
Fellows imo may be a fraction of the price but he is also a fraction of the player.
Didn't even think about AFCON Mocker - brilliant point mate. But agree, seems a lot more positive now than a couple of weeks back.
