I reckon you can say that about most fullbacks, even in the Prem. There aren’t too many exceptions, Walker being one though. Maybe we can get him if Pep feels he doesn’t fit the new system now?
Beat me to it. My exact thoughts too. I'd be amazed if Fleming didn't have more pace than Elder and Greaves. I don't think pace was the reason Rosenior let him go. It strikes me as a shame we didn't keep and develop him, after all we have the perfect coach for that (in fact, 2 of them).
IMO Fleming didnt go on loan for height reasons. This club seem to be on a different curve now and if he comes back he will be loaned out again.
So Elder is to be released, any news of others being allowed to leave yet given Rosie was taking this tine to inform everyone about what is required and whether we'll be keeping or moving them on.
The only sticking point with Coyle, he will have to sign any contract with the understanding he won't be an automatic 1st choice right back and will have no guarantee of regular 1st team appearances. He could often be warming the bench.
Kompany has signed a 5 year contract at Burnley.... whether thats with a buy out who knows.... felt sure held be going to one of the big clubs this close season..
Doubt a big club would take a chance without seeing how he performs in the prem. If he does well this coming season then I'm sure you'll see him go elsewhere
The Chronicle, which is basically the Hull Daily Mail moved 120 miles north is reporting that Karl Darlow has been told to sign for us: The 32-year-old has been told he must sign for the Tigers instead of returning to St. James' Park for another season. Newcastle United loanee goalkeeper Karl Darlow has been told to stop being Eddie Howe's fourth-choice goalkeeper at St. James' Park and sign with Championship side Hull City. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/karl-darlow-told-stop-playing-26854192 Quite how you tell a contracted professional footballer, with a decent agent, who they must sign for, I'm not sure - or indeed whom is able to issue such a command - but it's good news for us that Darlow will be playing in a black and amber shirt next season (so to speak). Now I'm away to tell the Missus that I've been told that I must go to the hotel bar for a Tanqueray and Tonic. Happy days.
Almost pressed the like button, but the Rita Fairclough drink stopped that. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I wonder if Haydon Roberts will be the LB. Rosie signed him from Brighton for Derby and although Derby want to get him permanently, we should be able to get him His contract is up too a Brighton
I am, shame on me. Is Tanqueray cockney slang? The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Had one of those earlier at the pool bar. Then a few Gordon's as they didn't have Tanqueray there. Managed to cut my thumb shaving after that. Never done that before. Curious.
Is it really true that any sell-on fee for Bowen if he leaves West Ham goes to the Allams? If so, I just find that utterly ridiculous that a former owner would be entitled to the proceeds of a former asset of the club.
