Looks like someone is trying relay a message with 2 keepers on the bench.

Precisely.
Back to 2 keepers, an untried youngster and 2 players we want to offload in Edouard and JRS on our bench.
Amateur hour.
Yes, I know the window isn't finished yet...by then we could have lost Guehi too...

Is França injured? Or is he deemed not good enough?

At least he waited until game 2 of the season. And Devenny hasn't looked at ease that far forward. When he came on against Chelsea, I believe he had a chance where Eze would have shot but he tried, and failed, to control

They are looking to loan him back to Brazil

He earns too much, so any loan and we’ll end up paying a big chunk. I think he is being touted for sale too, but he is too used to big wages for doing nothing, so probably won’t want to move on a permanent.

Edit: oh and he’s injured again.

Brazil?

Nuts.

Any major injury to the starters would be a huge hit right now. Need at least one more CB and forward. Could do with a loan or two also.

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

We are desperately short, let's hope we sign 3 or 4 soon

Up the palace and let's do this

 

[BelfastEagle]

Lerma getting valuable time at centre back as we have nobody else. He may find himself there a lot this season.

 

[Uphill]

Shame Eze couldn't make his farewell tonight but Parish can't risk him before he sells him to Arsenal (and hopefully uses the cash to bolster our depleted squad)

Injured - again - when is he ever fit..!!

 

[glazedallover]

I'll be surprised if we qualify.

Been saying it for weeks - get used to it because if Parish doesn’t pull a few rabbits out of the hat this will be our season I’m afraid..!!

This is what happens when you leave Business too late..!!

Looking very grim isn’t it..!!

 

[JHB]

Looking very grim isn’t it..!!

As an absolute minimum we need to sign another attacker to replace Eze, cover at CB (ideally two) and cover for JPM. Suspect the CB cover might not happen and any JPM cover will be a loan.

 

[Eaglecoops]

Glasner does not sound happy at all.

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

I’ll say it here and now - tonight should have been such a celebration - our first game in Europe after winning the FA Cup and Charity Shield..!!

But it feels so flat doesn’t it - all the momentum and optimism has gone for me..!!

That’s all down to “no plan Parish” and his constant procrastination in transfer windows - this one being the worst by far..!!

Then we’ve got Forest on Sunday who not only stole our place in Europa but have strengthened significantly..!!

Meantime we’ve gone backwards..!!

So what exactly are you doing to address it Steve..!!

Ollie looked pissed off when asked why no Eze.
