He plays cb for the norway u21 side at times, when i saw him at ross county he was a cb and theh started playing lb at leeds. Got high upside in my eyes and its a very sensible deal considering our injury issues at fullback
Makes a lot of sense. Desperate for a left back at the moment. If he turns out not good enough then you’d hope cirkin and alese sort their injury problems and we have two solid LB options anyways, important to get some balance back on both sides by bringing Hume back over the RB
You'd assume we won't see anything of Huggins until this time next year at best. Alese and Cirkin can't ever stay fit so this seems a sensible signing
Are these clubs giving us their good young players because they’re crocks, or is it something we are doing at the club?
I think there could be an element of that in certain players but for others it’s just a no brainer for them to sell to us if we’re offering higher sell on clauses rather than them continually loaning them out and paying their wages which obviously count toward FFP. That’s the way I see it anyway. Take Clarke for instance, if he’s on £20k a week at spurs that’s £1m on their annual wage bill contributed toward their FFP. If they loan him out they’ll still pay a % of that whereas if they “cut their losses” early and sell him for a small fee they get a quick bump toward their revenue, his wages are off their bill and they profit if he moves on again for a big fee.
Have to question future of Cirkin, alese. Can't have three left backs on books. Not all potential starters anyway. Both are excellent but just seem beset by injuries
I think this lad is seen as a centre back long term. Similar to Seelt he's starting out at full back. To get experience but will move inside. I could see a scenario where our centre back pairing in a couple of years is Seelt at RCB and Alese or Hjelde at LCB. All of them been playing predominantly at full back to get experience.
Ornstein says Moore is likely to leave Bournemouth before the end of the window. Us, Ipswich and Cardiff all making loan offers…
Sounds a promising signing. Guessing the club have a list of players they are tracking and if one comes up for sale in any position then they will get them in, regardless of the short term need for that position. They could always loan out any 3rd 4th choice players not getting a look in.
Aye - apparently just a loan: " Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore is expected to join Sunderland, Cardiff or Ipswich on loan after they all made offers for the 31-year-old. "
This is the problem mate, its still 4 ****ing days. January is the longest month of the year as it is, and the feckers go and make it a whole extra day for transfers.
Ipswich in for Gallagher at Blackburn and that kid Al-Hamadi from AFC Wimbledon. Hopefully that leaves us free to bring Moore in.
