Erratic but decent on his better days. More concerned about losing Meite. Bod is constantly injury prone. That leaves us reliant on Oliveira staying fit otherwise we don’t have a big man up top. We also still have Mannone, Walker, McNulty. McShane, O’Shea and bloody Meyler on the books.
Don't worry. Gomes thinks Loader can lead the line.
Meite is staying. I’m fine with that especially as Baldock as pretty much out for the season.
Zero indication that Mannone, Meyler, McNulty, McShane or O’Shea are on their way though.
Gomes isn't managing to get rid of all the players I'd prefer, and I'm not keen on all the players he's bringing in, but he's sure as heck fire got a handle on the issue of trimming the squad and sometimes you just gotta do the business you can do.
I'd rather we shifted Moore than Ilori (I know I'm in the minority) and certainly McShane and O'Shea ahead of him. But, if he's the only one anyone is willing to pay for...
I'm delighted we've mugged Cardiff for Bacuna and hope Kelly will now stay, or I fear a midfield of Rinomhota and Swift with Baker or Loader... which I don't think has much guts to it, will be Gomes' go to. I damn well don't want to see Meyler ooze his way back in. I guess Ejaria can play more centrally too and there's maybe eventually Ezatolahi - but if we use him then one of Baker, Ejaria, Oliviera, Martinez and Miazga have to miss out on the squad, and lets face it that's one of the midfielders, which we're already looking a little short at if Kelly and Bacuna go.
I'd be disappointed to see Meite go, especially with Loader's lack of goals, and the two Bs fitness.
