Transfer Rumours City transfers - Summer 2017

Do people still believe what they say?

 

I can't see the Allams appointing a dof, it's an extra wage to pay and a relatively pointless one at that.

 

I obviously aren't bothered about it as much as you are and you're the whinging Aussie (see what I did there ) .

 

Gives them someone to blame if last minute transfers don't go through I guess

 

Would that be regarded as a fire sale?

 

I seem to remember thinking Tom was better suited to the EPL rather than the Championship in the 2015-16 season. He only made 24 starts in that season, but came on a lot as sub. He didn't get as much time on the ball in the championship, and looked better suited to the Premier league IMO.

I would still like to keep him, because if the Slutsky comes in he apparently likes 2 sitting defensive mid-fielders, and him and Clucas would be well suited to that roll.

 

Clubcall have linked us to Fred Onyedinma from Millwall, winger/striker, 20 years old and out of contract. He's already made 153 appearances in the FL, which isn't bad going.

Shame Clubcall are ****. They also claim that Marco Silva left to join Wolves.

I think he's signed a new deal with Milwall.

 

He's been offered one, I don't know if he's signed it or not. Harris mentioned it the other day on SSN that they'd offered it and were in talks, depends how much of an option he sees us as.

 

The DOF would be replacing ehab, not the manager.

 

This.

 

He has gotten worse.

 

we saw his best years

 

according to wiki, the DoF is like a buffer between the manager and the owner.

 

DOF can do a whole bunch of different things, but from that YP article - which, yes, isn't confirmation from the club but is the best we have to go on - Ehab is wanting to take a step back from transfers and let the DoF handle it. So I would hope ours would be more involved in negotiation of contracts, player purchases, etc.

 

Did it say that? Genuine question, I can't remember but didn't think it did.

 

You're right though, the specific comment about replacing Ehab I think came from the HDM which is less reliable:

 

Tom "For England" Huddlestone to WestBrom for 2M

2m?
we arent desperate to sell him that bad.
