Bit of a regurgitated story but just reading that FIFA have approved Balikwisha's wish to switch allegiances from Belgium to DR Congo. If fit that will be Iheanacho, Tounekti and Balikwisha that won't be available due to African cup of nations commitments.
If Maeda is to move on in Jan then our attack will be seriously depleted. We will only have Forrest, Yang, Kenny and Yamada. Rumours that Jota could be out until March also although that may be inaccurate.
If the squad wasn't short on numbers before, it's s about to get a lot worse.

So far this season the only real highlight has been a league cup semi-final win in amongst some inconsistent league performances and a pretty poor European campaign - and that with a mostly fit squad.
Thanks to the Board and previous manager we were in a mess and, between multiple injuries, managerial changes and these possible future absences - the club will be facing huge challenges ahead.

The squad has been decimated ccv aj jota enneacho Bernardo all missed the sevco game now add saratchi and osmand.
12 Nov 2025 15:00:00
Balikwisha is the least of our concerns. How he gets anybgame time is beyond me.
12 Nov 2025 15:58:42
I don't see Daizen going, he's back clearly motivated and hopefully get his move after good World Cup, we need manager and rw ready to walk in door Jan 1st lol, from there hopefully few more, inheacho-tonetki-bali going away Isi be it.

Imagine we had a board who were capable of squad planning and completing transfers.
12 Nov 2025 16:36:22
Think it's easier to believe in Santa Wee Joe.
12 Nov 2025 16:41:02
Maeda won't take the chance of moving just before the World Cup.
Look what happened to Kyogo last January.
Balikwisha isn't someone I can see being committed to anything other than himself.
He isn't someone you can depend on when things get though.

We really do need players In ASAP none if the usual last day of the window pish.
12 Nov 2025 19:44:22
Although he's shown nothing of note so far it's still another winger down. It was more with what we will be left with. Stories are now breaking Daizen is off in Jan.
12 Nov 2025 21:19:44
He should have been off in the summer but our inept board could not sign a replacement. Still waiting on kyogo and Kuhn replacement. ?.
12 Nov 2025 23:28:04
Agree Weejoe, his value would have plummeted as he hasn't really got going this season. No doubt he will rattle the goals in now he's off ? Kuhn and Kyogo been warming the bench since leaving too.

Add Tounekti to the injured list now too.
