Depends how bad his injury is I suppose, if he is out for a month for e.g. do we sign him now and hope it is a month or renew interest in the summer ?
I think Wellens needs to decide on formation, he talks about using wingers but playing a 4.1.3.3 isn't really using wingers, does he want to play a 442 with wingers on either side crossing in balls or play with a holding midfielder ?
Either formation I think we need 1 striker, 1 left back and 1 creative midfielder. that is just for starters and absolute bare minimum, then I guess it depends who leaves as we also need a central defender, another striker and perhaps a wide player or 2 who can put over a decent cross.
I think he plays 4-3-3 BECAUSE we have no wingers

Or we have 1 winger, which makes it more bizarre. And 1 wing back, 0 fullbacks, no goalscorers and 1.5 gzillion midfielders. What was Brown thinking?

Some of those rumours seem to be fair, some on the other hand, like this one, are utter tosh! Still love any STFC rumour, its all good!

the thing is, if it was a wind up wouldn't you use TD or doughty to do it as it's more believable.
I'm going for just plain wrong..

Iandolo should be at LB over Taylor tbf. He did alright there I thought. He made tackles at least, which Taylor does not (for all his endeavour)

Iandolo has flaws, but also a lot of talent. I can see why somebody might think he'd be worth a punt at developing.

What price would you be happy for Burnley to table for him (PFCC tribunal would cover it anyway as he's under 24) if it were to be true?
This also leads me to the reason a club like Exeter generally competes confidently in L2. They had Empandu to Chelsea compensated to a value of £2.5m (£1.4m already) and a 20% sell on, at last seasons end. The season before they sold Ollie Watkins for around £1.9m, and the season before that was Matt Grimes for £1.7m. This season looks like Jayden Stockley could go for £1m.
£6m over 3.5 seasons (with more to come from the Empandu deal), is the kind of transfer turnover Power would mess his trousers over. At this level.
What is more incredible is that in 2014, they needed to seek help from the PFA to pay their players wages...
Anyway back to the faux Ian rumour. I'd accept £150k for him.

Another free we could get our hands on today, former Reading player. Defender Zak Jules has left Shrewsbury by mutual consent, the League One club have announced. Only 21 so we can polish and profit. Got to be better than paying for Sid.

Shrews fans aren't exactly bothered by his departure. What makes you think he's any good?
