Agreed , in other words he is very unlikely to be much use to us and increses even more the need to get a couple of strikers in.

yeah if we're bringing 5 players in on deadline day and we've dropped a ballock by losing these first three games I hope the board gets dogs abuse.

Again - that’s all great and dandy at the end of the window but what about the games and the points surrendering in the meantime? We’re not even sleepwalking into a relegation scrap again, we’re sprinting towards it.
And how can you blame people for being pessimistic? With the greatest of respect, Danjuma jibbed us 6 months ago so why would we not expect us to do it again? We allowed Atalanta to get a march on our ‘top target’ and have now spent all the window chasing a ghost.
There doesn’t seem to be any other whispers of a striker in the mould we need and people are going on about Gnoto like he’s nailed on. He’s been linked ‘strongly’ for weeks and not moved an inch. Think several heads need a wobble and a healthy dose of the reality of the situation. It’s grim.

I think the ultimate question will be is whether Frank Lampard was really that bad and whether Sean Dyche for a full season will be enough to get us that extra ten points to make us feel a bit more comfortable.
The squad is obviously lacking but I think Dyche is a better man manager than benitez and better tactically than Lampard to maximize their strengths. Add two more attackers (and even get rid of grey) and I think we will be more than fine.
I’d love another centre back but think Branthwaite should be given the chance to step up.
I will wait and see what the squad looks like when we kick off against Fulham. Then I’ll judge them.
I agree that he should go out on loan this season i have said that. As i think would be great for him getting games and going up a level from the u21. He has played rb in the u21 and other positions. If the lad does have a good loan i have said maybe he could come back next season when coleman would be another year older maybe staying for the new ground, young could be gone. Garner dyche could want him as a cm and gray could be gone. So if the he could cover the rw and at rb, i cant say i kno alot about the lad but this loan will show what position the club wants him in. If he is versatile and can play both positions isny that a good thing

It feels like the last throw of the dice with him this summer. They have sent him to Germany for mad physio and not playing him during pre-season. I presume he is on a strict regime and, if he breaks down again, there will be little more that can be done in the short term. All hope is defo not lost though

Of course but you know that not everybody is that level-headed. The problem, as I keep saying, is we may have run out of time to bring in a starting CF. If someone comes in this week then it's still a stretch to make their debut against Fulham
We will be judged every weekend on the pitch from the 12th August. I'll be judging us from week 1 when we play meaningful matches.
I certainly don't accept the judge us at the end of the window narrative. That is a narrative we've heard rolled out time and time again, and it's absolutely not good enough. We were told in Janaury we would have a striker. Instead we sold a player for over 40m and reinvested £0.
The lack of backing to Sean Dyche is an absolute joke. I want to see action immediately, because he currently has not got the players available to do his job properly. And when things go wrong, it's always the manager who takes responsibility, not the chairman or owner who have failed to back them properly.

I've been thinking about this and, upon reflection, as much as I fought his corner and gave him a chance whilst he was here it was clear that he was woefully out of his depth. His little stint at Chelsea after us, plus some of the interviews he and a couple of players have conducted recently, just reinforces that.
I do think that, based on my early impressions of Dyche, he's much more suited for our position and not to mention he's also clearly far more experienced at this level (and a better 'man manager' for sure). We're in a better position now than we were at the start of last season IMO.

This. Poor planning equals piss poor performance.
Look how strong city are going preseason- levels.
Yeah i would be shocked if we had a new cf starting against fulham if dcl aint fit. Only way i can see it is if this toure lad comes in, is again poor management by the club this window.
