Djemba_Villan Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thought this was worth a thread if it's own given we are set to lose most of our best players for a month. Who are the current unused squad players who we can realistically expect to stand in? Who do you think could be brought in temporarily/permanently to cover? Adomah - Green? Kodija - RHM? Ayew - Gabby? Gestede - Kozak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Turns out Gestede's Benin didn't qualify so that's one less worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Kodjia and Adomah are the big loses, Ayew has increasingly played himself into irrelevancy and Gestede is horrific (and also seemingly about be sold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Surely Mckormack is the player to come in and fill the void. I think we will miss adomah most funnily enough.

VILLAMARV Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Think Avram Grant is naming the provisional Ghana squad today. I was hoping they wouldn't call Adomah up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Looking at recent stats and Adomah hasnt been in a Ghana squad for a few months so he might not get picked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 If they don't call Adomah up that would be brilliant news! Kodija is the major loss IMO and I can't see how we can replace him like for like in the interim as it would take anyone new time to settle anyway. We'd have to change setup to accommodate McCormack I suppose and I don't know enough about his previous club to know the sorts of players he needs around him to thrive.

Dave J Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yep- Kodjia is clearly the one that none of us want lose- McCormack has to be the one to get his place for me- just leave him in there and allow him to play himself into the role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Adomah staying would be excellent news, but it have a feeling he will get called up unfortunately. I don't think ayew is going to be that bad a miss. I wouldn't mind if we cashed in to be honest. If you can't even score goals at this level for 10m your not worth keeping.

That's why I'd play McCormack today. We need him to find form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A winger is a must in January McCormack filling the void would be a major concern. The only thing he looks capable of filling is a carrier bag from greggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final is played Feb 5th and both teams will fancy themselves to reach it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Ayew is selected whilst Adomah is out. I'll take that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
