We can still buy from Europe but can't sell if their window is shut. Hence if Laffs is off to Greece should be done tonight.
From the Danish journalist who first reported our interest in Sviatchenko: "Sports director at FCM Claus Steinlein now confirms, that the club has rejected "a respectable bid" for Erik Sviatchenko. #ncfc #pldk" As a reply he confirms that's the initially £2.2m bid. By calling it a respectable bid, presumably we're not far off the price they'll sell at. The player himself has said that he wants to move this summer, but isn't sure if a deal can be done.
Reading have signed Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea, might rule out a move for RvW. Marseille have also signed 30yr old Porto CB Rolando, which might free up N'Koulou.
Just watch him score a hattrick in his first game - not that I´d have wanted him, mind, but...........
Not true! The window closes for incoming players, but clubs can still sell players overseas so long as the transfer window open there.
Walters has handed in a transfer request. Reports from Spain that Real Betis are in negotiations for RvW. That deal would have to go through tonight though I would think. I can see him being a lot more interested in Betis than Reading. http://m.sevilla.abc.es/deportes/al...cion-de-van-wolfswinkel-95818-1441048706.html
Love the bit about "a discreet performance" while at Norwich! Certainly the window has suddenly got interesting!
