Sounds like the Chelsea Right back is off. Chelsea have blocked the move

He’s a centre back isn’t he? Or both perhaps.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Where has it been said we’ve put any serious efforts in to getting a striker? We probably made a few enquiries just in case there was a bid for Vipotnik. But I haven’t seen any mention of a genuine bid.

Don’t know whether it’s been said or not but we have been trying. That Birmingham bloke was one option.

 

[Flash]

Yeah, but we don’t even have one to cover.

We have Cullen and although Idah is injured but he still counts as part of squad

We have spaces in our squad.

I’d thought that one was done Saturday / yesterday along with Walta.

No, Forest defender was all but done but got called off. Appears from Tom Coleman that we moved onto this Chelsea lad and again his parent club has called it off.
Let's see what happens.

Would of covered us if he was. Strange it hasn't happened. As talks was reported to have taken place yesterday.

That’s because we’ve been lucky with injuries since Idah was injured.

There’s no amount of trust or otherwise that can prevent an injury.

The same will be true if we go the next two months without Vipotnik being injured btw. Given you don’t understand the difference between risk and outcome…

Ooooh, look Lisa has her claws out, again.

Matos seems to be a fan of his, but maybe wages was too much as they paid 9 M for him and He said loan would be alot considering Vip is on form.

The Forest one was called off on Friday and this one put in place Saturday / Sunday I thought?

Can we recall Lissah at this stage?

 

[Smurph]

Everything is a risk in football but we can’t have 4-5 people to cover every position. It’s a 25 man squad maximum and we could never afford more

She's still smarting about going all out on the Matos appointment.

Apparently he's a good number two and not as manager.

 

[TruckerJack]

I think the Kyogo enquiries, if true, were in the event of a Vipotnik sale.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Ooooh, look Lisa has her claws out, again.

It was a humorous reference back to the Matos discussion you and I had a few weeks ago mun. Lighten up.

I must of missed this one. The Forest player. 5 minutes to go, speed dial anyone

 

[crazedbison]

This must mean we are bringing in a striker.

Otherwise it’s genuinely ludicrous.

There’s a even money chance Idah’s recovery will take longer than hoped for (they often do, or it’s ok for a short while then goes again) and that means we are a twisted knee away from having Cullen start and no one on the bench for six or eight games.

Plus we’ve lost two wingers (one brought in) albeit one was utterly useless and two centre backs (Santos is about to go as well as Casey) and are bringing in a youngster with next to no experience.

It’s odd to say the least.

You're not wrong, but I get the sense that Walta would be another who could contribute in the false 9 or shadow striker type role where he could provide an option for the press. He scored 16 in 30 last season.
