Very quiet on any incomings with just under 80 hours to go. Maybe has something to do with Martin being pretty pissed about the info being leaked out of the club last week??
Was reference to Tella and adams training away from the starting team for the qpr game on the Friday. Says he doesn’t know how that info gets out and it’s been going on for to long and needs to stop.
All depends on the other club, player and agent to how much we hear about it I think. The Fraser loan we only heard about via Eddie Howe saying it in his pre match press conference shortly before it was announced as a done deal by Saints. The stuff that Martin was annoyed about was the training ground stuff getting out so not sure if that's really linked.
Was thinking about this earlier. Presumably whoever was leaking the info will have stopped for now, because it could become obvious who it is.
I was going to say the leaks were about outgoings but there was a leak about the two medicals for the loans. How well known was the Downes thing? Would that have been known about for so long if not for his illness? Most of our signings seem to have been relatively under wraps in general
Palace are linked with Adams. They already have Edouard, Ayew and Mateta in their squad. Would anyone take either of the latter two on loan for the season? Assuming none of those have other destinations lined up. Mateta usually seems to be a handful Expect he is on Prem wages but so have our other loans. The list of available striker loans is likely not a long one
Mateta is heading to the Bundesliga, I think. Hodgson tends to like using Ayew in wide areas so I guess he is looking to alternate Adams/Iheanacho and Edouard.
He's Lyanco on steroids in terms of his potential to be a liability. As we say up here, guy's a bawbag.
We are being linked with Zeqiri from Brighton. From briefly reading about him he seems very different to Adams. Closer to Adam Armstrong. He can also play wide and apparently isn’t the type to hold the ball up. So I can’t imagine we’d be getting only him if Adams is going
Wow I looked into this and saw links to Leipzig and Dortmund. Didn’t think that was his level. Goes to show how tricky striker recruitment is
Good luck to Lyanco. Right move all round as was never really good enough (though thought he could have been in champ), but you can't deny he left nothing out on the pitch when he played and was committed to the club which sadly many haven't been. Would rather a team of Lyancos than a team of Aribos any day of the week.
He`s actually a talented striker, but his attitude sucks. He was wayyyyy overweight last season. The Aberdeen fans had a banner once in Spanish when translated said ` Morelos, your mother is a mattress` which strangely he didn`t appreciate, and got wound up about.
Go upmarket & stay in Hartlepool used to work there; wow! However, if you stay just outside those cities, there’s some really nice villages with b&b’s.
Very posh, don’t you know, lots of bling and new money. As a working class oik, I can only look on in wonder at the prentiousness of it all.
