Slutsky was recently asked about what football cliches he knows, maybe he should also be asked about what proverbs he knows. Like 'no smoke without fire'.
Jakupovic - now rumoured to be linked to Reading, another competitor
McGregor - - linked with move to Hearts.
Mason - difficult to call. If / when he plays, how will his injury affect him?
Clucas - linked with Newcastle amongst others.
Huddlestone - £2m to go to fuxking Derby, another competitor.
Hernandez - 'want away' striker, if ever there was one.
Robertson - Premier League or Holland.
Elmo - probably going to a competitor.
Maloney - who knows.
Gosicki - Watford bound?
Meyler - still injured.
Dave Moses - still injured.
Keane (remember him) - still injured.
Marshall - now injured.
Which leaves Dawson, who last time around we got relegated said 'everyone wants to play in the Premier League' and is that stage in his career like Hudds, who would leap at the chance of one last pay day contract with a Bournemouth, or Watford, or Huddersfield type of club.
He was appointed on the 9th June, a month ago and we have signed some young lad from Swansea and are about to embark on a pre season tour.
I desperately want this fella to succeed, he comes across as a breath of fresh air. But taking in the gossip (that he doesn't do) flying around, it looks like he and the team have got their work cut out.
