Wouldn't be surprised at all to see us make an improved bid for Delaney in January if we're in a strong position. The question would then be who doesn't make the XI; Stephens, Delaney or Propper?

Sidwell seems unlikely to be fit for some time, and both him and Kayal will take time to get up to speed. As for Molumby, he is still really young and if CH thought he was a real option to come in he would surely have got 10 minutes against West Ham

Bit disappointed he didn't get 10/15 against West Ham. The game was won, unlikely to be a better opportunity to blood him at this level

Yes, you may have a point there. On the other hand, maybe CH saw it as a good opportunity to keep Izzy and Schelotto happy - neither has had much of a look in so far.
I'm not saying we shouldn't get another CM; I just wonder how high it is on our list of priorities - and how far down that list of priorities will we be looking to go for in January?
I guess the way the club will look at that is 'who plays when one of Stephens & Propper can't?'.
The answer to that so far this season has been a resounding
making another £15m CM less of a gamble.

Brown - there might be some kind of appearances clause in his loan deal from Chelsea - maybe
The question, as also noted by the poster above, is who plays if Stephens or Propper pulls up in pre-game training tomorrow? If Propper I guess Brown slots in and Gross drops back a bit, but if its Stephens? Maybe Kayal gets rushed back, maybe Schelotto is the option? Rosenior? Maybe just go Propper and Gross. But there isn't an obvious option
3rd priority after two strikers with CB being the last/4th priority signing.*

Going by our performances so far this season, maybe TB won't get anymore in and save the spendies till next season as it looks like we will survive.......................that should spoil everything now.

Interesting post by AZ Gull in the other thread about needing 8 homegrown players in the 25.

It makes replacing both Goldson and Sidwell trickier as both replacements would have to be home grown as it's more likely any incoming striker wouldn't be.
Of course once Walton finally comes into the squad it'll help with this quota.

All updates as projected.
Unchanged team for Southampton, Hemed on bench, Kayal/Baldock not risked.
Let’s call that 15 updates out of 15 updates.

I don't know if you just mis-typed, but to clarify, at least ONE of the replacements for Goldson and Sidwell would need to be a HGP (and not necessarily both). We currently have nine HGPs and we need to maintain at least eight if we wish to name a 25-man squad.
We need strengthening believe me in Jan

Would like to see Baldock in the squad this week assuming match fit.
If we end up in a losing position wouldn't mind someone like him coming on to chase balls down hard. Bit of an impact to raise the side.

He's fit according to CH. he's deciding whether to give him another u23s run out or not

Did we work out why he didn't play for the U23 the other night?

Tim Krul is a homegrown player. I know. It doesn't make sense . But he is.

I also have this vague recollection that Murray isn't homegrown due to his age when he played in the US.
Maybe nonsense though.

You appear to be correct, Murray doesn't show as homegrown on our 25 man squad on the premier league page.
