The Rigg speculation is running in the Birmingham Evening Mail as well. Outrageous they think he or the club would even consider a League one for a mere 10m when top clubs in the Premier League and European clubs are circling... Its funny really...but I guess speculation like this gets there fan base thinking and getting behind the new owners
`I wonder if we could do this if Isidor keeps doing well. I heard the other day if he hits certain targets it automatically becomes a perm
might be more of a complex deal due to the Russian element. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just a straight loan.
I think it's said we have an option to buy but I've also heard it becomes an obligation if he achieves certain targets, a few were replying to me saying that you can buy the players from russia but the FA hold the funds until sanctions are lifted
Thought any international loans had to have an option to buy clause in. Depends what the agreed fee is though!
Think Poveda is on a mainly performance based contract so the good news is he won't be costing us too much. Because he certainly isn't performing. Could find himself behind Watson before too long.
Not a good start for Poveda, granted, but he's played 28 minutes of football for us. After 28 mins of football for SAFC people on here and elsewhere were convincing themselves that Isidor would only ever play on the wing. So lots can change given time.
He looks like he's got something - a few nice touches and one good run through the middle BUT he doesn't look like he can stay fit. This is his 3rd injury since joining us and he's managed 2 sub appearances
Nothing against him at all, mate. I'm very hopeful he comes good. You don't get into a decent Columbia side without having a bit about you. But yeah, couldn't have had ****tier luck to this point the poor lad.
I was surprised we went for Poveda to be honest. I just wasnt sure we needed that profile of player. But then Ba and Adil seem miles away again so maybe that was in the thinking. I think he has talent, but for reasons I dont know has rarely had a run and cemented a spot. As it stands Roberts seems head and shoulders above him imo. Then as someone else says, Watson looks a proper talent. For me he is the next cab off the academy rank. Cant wait to see more of him personally. Hope to see plenty more of Poveda too, will mean he has proven himself, but if I were a betting man I would fancy Watson to be the bigger player for us over time. Looks like he has that physique and talent to hack it.
