Transfer Rumours Saint Cody!

If Ralph's going to continue with a 4-3-3, then maybe he is happy with Adams, Armstrong and Mara as striker options, with Gakpo and Aribo able to do a job there if needed?

 

Gakpo would do a lot more than just a job, that's for sure.

 

I think they mean do a job in the central role of a three rather than one of the wide ones

 

Ah right, misunderstood.

 

There is still more uncertainty than I’d like over this. He played tonight. They aren’t signing a replacement. Chelsea are rumoured to be making a big offer for a player to ease any financial concerns

There are concerns. Hopefully I am wrong !

 

If we don't get Gakpo, it won't be for a lack of ambition or effort from the club and that's enough for me. Without him it would still prove to be a great window. With him, it would simply be the icing on the cake as many have said before me.

 

Tis the way of a football fans, that despite having an insanely good window, I’m going to be BITTERLY disappointed if we don’t get this over the line. To the extent I feel sorry for the other signings tomorrow - kind of not interested in them at all now they’re coming

In fairness, this one is our ‘marquee’ signing though.

 

Agreed. They’ll still be some that try to find a way to blame SR / Ralph / both if it doesn’t happen

I wonder if our loan deal for this central defender is also partly delayed because we might want to use the slot for an attacker if the Gakpo deal falls through?

 

Unless of course there are signings tomorrow that haven’t already been mentioned today. Seems immensely unlikely though but then so was a bunch of the news today

 

And the Dutch transfer window has slammed shut

 

Nope, another hour yet. 11pm UK time

 

We’ll miss out on Gakpo and get Braithwaite so don’t worry

 

No thanks.

 

Makes no odds to the purchase going through (unless they needed the replacement). We can still buy him tomorrow.

 

Doesn’t half feel like PSV are waiting until the very last minute to see if one of the so called big clubs becomes knocking….

 

They have got it wrong. Still open for another 48 minutes.

Although it looks as if PSV wont be replacing Gakpo even if he does leave so might not matter

 

Think they’re waiting for Chelsea to offer silly money for Sangare

 

Interesting we aren’t even listed

 

For us not to be listed suggests that they won't take any more bets on us but will be willing to accept bets on other clubs until it's over?

Skybet has us at 9/4 behind Leeds at 8/13. To stay at PSV it is 10/3. Could just be a few big bets that have swung it in Leeds favour though
