Borini
Key Player
I will take the money but I am 65 next month and my knees have been shot for 45 years!I'd rather we sign Borini permanently than take Wilson on loan.
I am glad no bids have been made for Ayew. He is crucial for us.

I've upset a few people in my time but at least I've never been kneecapped!!I will take the money but I am 65 next month and my knees have been shot for 45 years!
Who is the second? We have the lad from Man City on a permanent but haven't heard any confirmation of the rumour about the veteran from Wolves.Good window so far with 2 center halves to replace Rodon
That's my thoughts as well. Rodon is a definite loss but Bennett has experience and leadership which our backline really need. Add to that a young Man City defender who technically will be excellent from their coaching system we can only say we've improved the defence, at least on a short term basis.Wish Rodon good luck and hope he does us proud. We kept Ayew which is crucial. Plenty of squad depth to compete for the playoffs. Just have to keep goals from reaching the back of the net.
That's a scary thought if he's poor in the dressing room toxic personality lets hope we did researched better than that. Maybe like Celina needs a sec0nd chance. I'm just wondering how we are going to play all these new players still with Dhanda, Routs, Naughton and Cullen on the bench as it is. Shouldn't be any excuses we're good enough to compete for playoffs again. Benrahma is in London now Brentford are weaker.Borini / Ayew would be a hell of an offensive force in this league, amply supported by Cullen and Lowe and perhaps Vik.
We've lost Rodon but we have Bennett.
As for Palmer ... curious situation ... Bristol paid Chelsea £3.42m for him in August 2019 after having him on loan for the previous season, and now they ship him out on loan. Why? What did they discover that they didn't like? And they ship him to a very close rival .... Machiavellian move?
NOW, if only we can get Andy Pandy to start Benda in preference to Woody.
We are good enough for automatic promotion. I must admit I am really surprised we signed so many good players in this transfer window, and, at the same time, managed to keep Grimes and Ayew. And if we sign Borini, then we'll have one of the best squads in the Championship, if not the best. Now it's up Cooper to keep all these players happy, keep them motivated, and rotate a lot, now when we have games every three days. Fingers crossed.Shouldn't be any excuses we're good enough to compete for playoffs again.
I don't think that has happened in his case. Sometimes some players just don't fit into manager's formation and style of play. We have had fresh examples in Celina and Peterson who are both good players. Also, Palmer knows Woodman, Guehi, Grimes, Smith and Gibbs-White very well, so there won't be any problems in the dressing room.That's a scary thought if he (Palmer) is poor in the dressing room and toxic personality. Let's hope we did research better than that.
He'll be allright. To be fair to him, when he took over we had already lost McBurnie, James and Fer. He also inherited Asoro, McKay, John, Baker-Richardson, Nordfeldt, Moulder, etc. Then he lost Surridge in January transfer window. The vast majority of his signings were spot on last season: Brewster, Gallagher, Bidwell, Guehi, Willmott, Surridge...the jury is still out on Woodman, and as for Peterson we'll never know.Andy Pandy couldn’t figure out how to get his old toys to play properly now he has a whole new set
He was a bit nervous, but he will be ok.Bargain of the season.
