Said he wanted to several times, then did.

I was against Dembele a few seasons ago because I didn't think he'd score enough goals and we needed goals at that time. But now we've seemingly got a goalscorer in Yuki, and a target man in Big Mak, I'd be interested to see Dembele. I remember him being fast and had a knack of making defenders lose their bodily functions whenever I saw him play. No idea what he's become now. He could be a good player to keep defenders busy so our strikers have more freedom. Whoever we get, we need players in asap.

If Waggott doesn't get a new goalie in you may have nothing to worry about.

I'd prefer Poku over Dembele myself. Not ideal I know but I'd prefer Ruddy over a season of Pears too. Terrifying that we could be stuck with Pears till January.

So still having to double up on anything they send then?

Could get both with our player sales, and get rid of Pears and Hilton.

Great so sign Germain, and get Eustace his men too. Apart from Stansfield we aren't signing players on megabucks. As we saw from last season, we'll get injuries, we've need a bigger squad for years.

So can they send funds or not?

"Won't affect operations." Well where's the fecking goalie!?

Decent appointment for them.

Going into our fourth match with Pears in goal when they've had all Summer to sort it out. Sums up Waggott perfectly, couldn't care less.

Every report and article suggests he's a winger. https://www.theposh.com/news/2021/august/posh-swoop-for-exciting-winger

Paying £5m for Gallagher may be the reason we don't pay £6m for Stansfield. I'm not sure why Fulham would even allow him to go for £6m if he's some wonderkid.

All I can find is this.

Heckingbottom.

He's just as blighted by the owners and dodgy decisions from the top. Difficult to judge.

What a fall from grace.

If we get Dembele on loan, would we also try to sign Poku too?

Brittain and Pickering were poor defenders with Kaminski between the sticks.

Eh? I said they were poorly performing now, I wasn't making any predictions. If anything the message I responded to was.

He said that about Szmodics. He also said we'd have to pay more than we did. Neither of which happened.

That was last season. They've conceded 2 against Oxford and 3 against Stevenage. I didn't see the Stevenage game but they were downright abysmal against Oxford. Norwich were awful today and with better defenders we'd have come away with all 3 points.

I agree. Hyam would benefit from a more commanding keeper, but we're without any leadership across the entire defence, bench warmers aside. A younger McFadz would be that man but he isn't going to feature in every match.

That still doesn't fix the issue of having a leaky defence. I'm not quite sure why some fans don't want a better defence. It's clear from the first two league games that we're going to need 3 goals+ to win a game. We had the league's top scorer last season and we still couldn't stop them going in the other end. I've seen no evidence that it's changed this season. We've conceded 4 goals against two poorly performing teams.

Be nice if he could take his jinx elsewhere, like say Burnley are going to win the league and definitely won't go into admin and drop through the leagues, and Preston have no chance of getting relegated and ending up none league within five years.
