Duncan Watmore

looks like he'll be 2nd signing after cooper

Been training with Stockport recently, we tried to sign him in the summer but like Cooper we weren't allowed.

If he is fit be a good free transfer.

Seen this rumoured but not much clarity of source ?

be great to get both in today / tomorrow and on the bench for weekend or maybe even a cheeky start for cooper if he’s been training with us ? 

I like him but with only 2 possible incomings, for now at least, I think we need to focus on defence and defensive midfield, especially with losing Fusire and Valery to Afcon from mid December.

Hopefully Bernard back soon.

Bannan and Svante need help in the middle. They'll both be knackered soon

Wasn't there a suggestion from Alan Biggs we may be able to revisit the loan deals we had lined up for the young Premier guys? I assumed he was referring to in January but his wording suggested these may be allowed under the emergency terms? Seems like a stretch?

Be nice if we could get more than 2 in.

2 doesn't really touch the sides in terms of making the squad competitive in this division.

I'd be surprised if the other signing (assuming after Cooper) isn't a centre mid.

Don't mind this, as I think Svante is better centrally driving through the middle than out wide chasing long balls, Watmore usually comes in from the left.

Yeah expect that to be January movement, i think only keepers are covered by any emergency out-of-window loans

Makes sense but if we have a centre half and a wide player in that allows Palmer and Inglesson to be central options along with Valery whereas Inglesson has been deployed in a front 3 recently. When Bernard comes back that frees up Lowe and in turn Amass who could play left side I reckon and Chalobah may come back at some point

I think we need some pace and creativity. Everything goes through Bannan now and there needs to be a second plan of attack.

Agree with this 100%. We need an outlet, if we'd had one of either Musaba or Gassama I think we would have won at least a couple of the games we'd drawn.

Duncan - "Barbara, we're linked with another player!"

Barbara - "After Cooper, Duncan? What more?"

Duncan - "I think that's his name, yeah."
