| Poku - Missing on Saturday? 15:17 - Nov 24 with 2120 views | NorthantsHoop | Have I missed something, thought Poku was now fit and available for Saturday's game against Hull - but was missing from the matchday squad. What is happening with him, is he fit or not, does anybody know? |  | | |  |
| Poku - Missing on Saturday? on 18:56 - Nov 24 with 1882 views | bosh67 | You have Dembele, Kolli, Smyth, Saito and Vale all fit. Let Poku do a few weeks or so at full training speed and then ease him in. No need to risk another setback. |  |

That's a relief- should be 'back on grass' by Feb so. |  | |  |
| Poku - Missing on Saturday? on 23:54 - Nov 24 with 1317 views | ChrisNW6 | Who will be dropped from the 9 man bench to make way for Hayden's return on Wednesday? I think Kolli did enough on Saturday to give a matchday squad place, but things will get difficult when Poku and Vale are available. Nice problem to have, but JS will be making some tough decisions this season. An injury free squad, brings additional challenges. |  | |  |

The squad seems set up now to develop and sell, we can offload two players in January or the Summer and we can slot other players into their position. |  | |  |

Mmm I'm thinking more that we're developing players to sell for money, I see Varane the first one off, there was reportedly interest in him in the Summer and we have replacements in Field and Hayden. It may seem controversial but Dembele had his best game for us on Saturday and if we can help him develop more then he may well be in demand and command a decent fee. The Eze money has all but been spent, we have to become a club that develops and sells to give us FFP headroom, we have a squad now which on paper gives us room to sell a couple of players for decent money.

I can't see anyone paying big money for Varane at the moment, the more likely sales are Smyth and Field to be honest |  | |  |

Well that depends how serious the reported offer was for Varane in the Summer, we currently have him in the shop window and have more than adequate replacements in Field and Hayden waiting in the wings. |  | |  |

Dembele needs to do it consistently. I think he had better games just after he signed, stringing some fantastic performances together before getting injured and dropping off a cliff. Needs to maintain that level from last week. My concern on him stepping up a level is his lack of pace and physicality. Think he could get lost in the Prem. |  | |  |
