Ask that great moderator OLM then - he's the one that first pointed out that Maguire is Championship class only.
It hasn't been reported anywhere. Sky have said we've so far failed to agree personal terms & he's now talking to Sunderland. People just assume that means he's turned us down and the deal is off
Anyhoo, what news about that Welsh fella from London we were in for, Thomas Henry Alex something or other? He's still not got a club. (Damn not quick enough to edit before Hatem Bin Laden got in .... grrrr)
Not one to panic or be a knee jerk panty wetter or anything, but I would say having a fit squad of 14 players with just 5 days left of a 100 odd day transfer window, whilst already being relegation favourites, would tend to try anyone's patience- I hope the Allam Out chants are louder than ever tomorrow, just as I hope the support for the team is.
No one knows if he'll make the step up or not, he's much stronger than Wayne Brown & overall reads the game better. A lot of people thought Ash wouldn't step up to PL level, look what happened there!
Exactly, even after he came back from that knee injury! I also expected Brown to be one of our more solid defenders until that Wigan game.
Pointing out I'm a moderator all the time just makes you look an even bigger **** than everyone thought you were already. Maguire obviously lacks pace, whether he can step up to the Premier League remains to be seen, I'm more than happy to wait and find out.
I never saw Ashbee as a weak link, though, I always thought he was a pretty good footballer. His volley against Blackburn in our first PL season was pretty damn good.
Agent Dave in Twitter saying Hernandez will definitely go to Villa if we get the replacements in? Brushing these off normally but he has got 36k followers. Allegedly a retired football agent. Probably bullshit.
So, summing where we seem to be at the moment: Possible bids seemingly accepted Rodriguez- ST from Southampton- competing with WBA Marshall- GK from Cardiff- Mason-Mid Spurs- competing with Sunderland? (though they have also reportedly bid for a midfielder from Sevilla) Possible interest? Chambers- RB/CB from Arsenal- would be competing with a host of clubs Richards- RB/CB from Villa- seemingly on his way to Turkey All of those foreign types we were linked with seem to have been speculation or coming to nothing Anything else I've missed?
