    Javi has confirmed in his pre-Woking press conference that Okaka (and Zeegelaar) are in talks with Udinese over a loan move. Good old Wobby.

    With Okaka joining, Teodorczyk could now leave Udinese this month. That's our deadline day signing sorted.

    I think he’s more suggesting it. But Gracia’s comments today nee enough confirm the club aren’t looking to get a striker in this window. Penaranda is effectively a new signing in that regard.

    Plus, it’s in the Italian press that Udinese are moving on some Brazilian lad to make way for Okaka. Felipe Vizeu? Going back to Brazil supposedly.

    Pen was our new striker signing in the summer. Probably will be this coming summer too. I tell you he doesn't exist.

    Can we sell him by weight? Using Messi's value/kg as the benchmark.

    The black Arnie.

    I liked him, for the reason he greatly offended Silva. That's Okaka, not Arnie.

    To even be linked with someone who united Ostrogoths and Visigoth interests in the Byzantine empire would have been a dream before the Pozzos! Thanks Gino!

    As opposed to someone who participated in looting and rapine of our coastal Dark Age communities.... "Ragnar" Helguson of Dalvik (as he is now):

    How long did he last though?

    74 mins.

    They had 26 shots, 8 corners and 62% possession at home to Parma. Lost 2-1.

    I read somewhere Everton want him on loan, surely can’t be true.

    Will be like a new signing. Who needs to buy a new striker?

    Based upon yesterday’s Ajax friendly l would keep Okaka and get rid, anyway we can, of the unsuccessful Success. Okaka is a handful and able to bring other players into the game as he did for our goal yesterday, Success is just inept. As a side note the referee at yesterday’s friendly was an embarrassment to his ‘profession’ arrogant, petulant, whistle happy, booked umpteen players and blew for a penalty instead of allowing play to progress and the goal scored by Doucoure. Was approached it appeared by players and one of our coaches at the end complaining of his performance.

    The trouble is, we've accumulated plenty of "Championship" standard players. Okaka, Success, & Sema are not at the level we need. All have certain qualities, but the qualities for which they are paid for such as scoring goals and providing assists rarely happen.

    Gray is the level of the perfect "back-up" squad player. He's not a first choice Premier League striker as his first touch and finishing are not good enough, however, he is effective from the bench. Deeney is a Premier League player, but he's not a prolific striker in the EPL.

    So there's our problem. We need a striker who is better and taking chances. Okaka, Success and Sema could all go and it wouldn't make any difference to anything.

    It would make a difference to the depth of the squad. Obviously Sema, Success + Okaka aren't gonna be starters.
