Agree Jim. This window we need to absolutely focus on bringing in forwards to fit...

Our system.

Olivera I think will actually leave this time* and I think Jerome may move too in order to get more playing time elsewhere.

*I have a theory about Olivera based on nothing other than a hunch and piecing together a few different comments/events over this season. I believe that Olivera probably wasn’t wanted by Farke/Webber when they came in. He was very close to being sold in the summer as I understand it but I think the main reason they kept him was to keep the goodwill of the fans on their side after the huge revolving door of players in the summer. Selling him at that time when his stock was perceived to be high would have been a tough sell to the fans. I think he was told to hang on in there for now and he can move either Jan or next summer. Which might explain his meltdown in the first game and his various niggles since.

Like I said I don’t know for sure but that’s my thoughts on what may have happened.
