5-3-2? They're looking for a draw then.

[Luci]

I copied and pasted that from the adver so whether its 100% accurate who knows!

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Its just me being picky. Do think we will need a few more players in if we are to maintain a play off place. Think we will win 3-1 today.

I think we need a couple more as well and I reckon we'll probably get them before the window closes. Disagree with POW about Timlin though. I think he can come in and do a job if needed.

anyone notice in tuesday's programme that ken ryder mentioned he'd been talking to ole gunnar solskjær about players but didn't want to elaborate?

If they play 5-3-2 I'll be happy with that,douglas and ferry will boss that midfield with ease.

Do you reckon he's Jean-Francois Christophe or Christophe Jean-Francois?

Honest answer - no idea.  Was getting Lescinels names the wrong way round until not that long ago!

Just got in. Disappointing looking bench regarding attacking options (not an attack on Macklin). Guess that's why we are going for another striker and other personnel.

First 11 should be good enough if they are up for it.

cutting things a bit fine if we are to get some new faces in. or is that just my thinking?

We've done deals on deadline day before, no reason to think that can't happen again.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I think it was Fitton who said that deals might only get done just before the window closing.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Most clubs sign players on deadline day. Usually nothing happens for the rest of the month.

So, thats all 3 of the doubtful players playing then.

Very true, but we have been looking at up to 5 potentials all month. Still, they've not let us down yet. Glass half full and all that!
