Attitude problems though. It’s clear we are very keen on having a close group with no bad influences and it was only a few weeks ago that stories were coming out about that with regards ABK from our relegation season/last summer wasn’t it?
I think there was debate over where in the midfield he would play, but Fernandes looked very capable of being our most advanced midfielder tonight and maybe the replacement for Stuey Armstrong. As for the rest of the window: Ramsdale confirmed Tall Paul out - Yuri Alberto In Edozie out on loan - Cornet in on loan Manning out - Fraser In Maybe Bree gets loaned out despite todays heroics, would expect ABK to get another loan abroad as well,
True - but it seems quite strange to burn bridges with him if there’s a chance he’ll still be here. The last 2 days of the window are going to be chaos. So many players still need moves; not just for us but across the PL
I suppose If we loaned out Edozie and brought in Fraser that would be sensible. I just don't want us to neglect the RW. We've needed to replace Tella since last summer.
It's so interesting that Cornet didn't even make WHU squad tonight. Wernt we linked with him before he went there?
Not sure we’ve burnt our bridges with him really. He wants to go, we want him to go. Martin is a great man manager and nice guy, and has given him a better chance of finding a move by putting him in the shop window tonight. If we can’t find a buyer or loan move at the worst, I wonder if we loan him to Goztepe until January?
Manning out because he’s dropped down to third choice? And in a wing back system Fraser could cover there and has (if he comes back)
Rumours linking us to a move to bring JWP back aren’t going away. Might just be coming from the West Ham side of the media as they’d like to sell. Difficult to see how we can raise the 25m they would want after the Ramsdale deal. And with no real resale value I wonder if it’s something we would do. Add on a second really big wage as well. And surely we’d need to move on one of our CMs to make room. Aribo or Smallbone. Doesn’t seem like it will make sense
Has Bednarek signed his new contract yet or is he waiting for the transfer window to close? I thought talks had “progressed well” but maybe he is biding his time in case a better offer comes along. Wood and Edwards didn’t fill me with total confidence, last night, with both making errors.
