We'll never keep them all happy, they'll all fall out like Mee and Tarks have and Dyche will lose the changing room.

Shouldn't have signed anyone. We're doomed.

Well I hope we potentially upset it more. Three signings aren’t enough apples for the cart

With our small squad and current player mix, they will all get game time

Three have gone. Two have come in. Two more need to go. A goalkeeper has replaced an injured goalkeeper. That’s basically five gone and only two in. Room for at least two more without upsetting anyone’s applecart.

I think we have two positions that we are oversubscribed in, GK & ST. The goalkeeping situation is down to injuries but it's hard to see 2/3 being happy once all are fit. Up top we probably have 2 too many. I think most would agree that Wells and Walters would be deemed to be the most surplus to requirement

If Wells and Walters are replaced by Vydra and Rodriguez, there will also be no need for Sam to go. In fact, he has to stay.

I think Hart's comment in his Blackburn Telegraph interview are quite telling; "I’ve heard such good things about the atmosphere.

"They say it’s priceless but to be part of a team where everyone is pushing in the same direction is not as normal as you would expect it to be.

"I heard that was the vibe and I’ve come here first day, and you can just see it. It just stinks of it. Everyone wants to play for each other, everyone wants to win and everyone wants to do their best." "

If Dyche is happy to let Vokes go for £10 million he probably feels four strikers is more than enough, providing JR comes in.

Only need four strikers so get some cash for Vokes and get it spent on Bolasie

Walters never properly came did he? would like to see him go to the knobbers because " he is too old for their young squad"

I would like both Jay and Vokes but Wells can go for me

OP - do you live under a permanent cloud? Seek help buddy before it’s to late.

2 out and 2 on on field. Cover for keeper. Jay Rod, local lad, poss. Not exactly huge growth in squad.

Not enough apples on the cart for any incomings to upset. Post6 sums it up perfectly and that is without alluding to the lengthy injury list that just seems to get worse every week.

I agree if things stay like this we have had an okay window . With games coming thick and fast we have players dropping like flies . We should be getting at least 2 more in even if there only loan players just to bulk the numbers up

Loans don't seem to appeal to Dyche but as you say if the European games continue then he would have to seriously consider it. Last Thursday 3 players were subbed for what seemed innocuous reasons and this Thursday two of them are not available,that's assuming Ward is okay. Forgot to mention that 2 weeks ago we lost Nick Pope to a fairly serious injury

It will be interesting to see how that effects Fulham and Wolves for better or worse.
