When we signed him? Certainly wasn’t free going out. I think it’s a sensible option for Ba, Pembele, Poveda and Rusyn if they have any interest.
I think we are gonna have a hectic final day. Club always have something up the sleeve for deadline day. Signed 4 players last summer on deadline day
Theres only 3 likely to generate an up front fee - Roberts, Browne, Huggins. Johnson, Anderson, Ba, Pembele, Rusyn, Matete, Poveda - might as well pay up/release as they ain’t gonna make it here, nor are they gonna generate a up front fee. Sell on maybe. other potential loanees depend on last bits of business we may do: Seelt, Aleksic. Jones & Tutierov don’t need to get a loan this window.
Speaking of Ekwah he seems to still be AWOL from Saint Etienne. Not appeared since and mentioned on a banner at their most recent game
We won't pay up Johnson, that's more likely to be a loan. He's homegrown and still a young lad even though he probably wont make it. I agree with the rest, but I'm not sure we'll take the loss on Ba and Rusyn in particular.
My opinion about Guiu is if Chelsea really want him back I would send him straight back. No conditions or demands. If we keep him because we can it will be (possibly) a short term gain but will be remembered by Chelsea and noted by other Clubs. Maybe we get some kind of preferential treatment in future. I don’t know how Guiu feels about it but to me it’s a no brainer. Straight back and no conditions. It’s the right thing to do and we tend to do the right thing with this management.
Incomings and outgoings there's going to be an announcement every hour tomorrow isn't there. Then we have the dredded deal sheet that premier league teams have. Could be midnight before we are done.
I'd have one condition like, refund of the loan fee. I get what you are saying, but we can’t leave ourselves short because Chelsea the club with 300 players want a player back!
Whilst understanding where your coming from if it weakens ourselves then its a no from me. If we can get a replacement in then yes.
That would be the least I’d expect is the cash back you can’t be paying 5million or whatever it was then have to hand him back before he’s got started and rob the fee
Last minute surprise: Christantus Uche, heading to the Premier League. The soccer player is already on his way to England.
Maybe just me, but i think we need another CM. The Dutch lad we've been linked with could be real, and I think we're thin on the ground really. If any of the first choice 4 cm's get injured, we've only really got Neil(?) And Rigg to put in - nether equipped for this team yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see one come in on deadline day.
