Fair enough, theyd be daft to turn that down. Is it also safe to assume he wants to join us? There's no chance of him doing a Dj Campbell and sacking us off for somebody else?
BBC Humberside Sport @HumbersideSport Scunthorpe United have signed young Hull City goalkeeper Rory Watson on a one-month loan as cover for suspended Luke Daniels.
It seems that way. Apparently he wasn't 'mentally ready' to start for Brentford at the weekend, which suggests his mind is elsewhere, presumably here.
That's a good move for him, being in and around a first team will help is development no end. I know he trained with our first team and made the bench, but I dont see him making any appearances this season. By my count that now leaves us with two goalkeepers, could do with another one really.
I assume whoever played for the U18's will now have to get their arse down to Tooting as cover for the U21's keeper. Agreed about Watson, he's highly rated and he could do with some game time, though he's only been brought in as cover and might well not actually see any action.
Doesn't help that the season here starts 2-3 weeks (3 in this season's case) before the window closes. I've not checked but I'd imagine the southern European countries (Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc) won't start playing league games until after it shuts.
Think Erik Bukran is still with the development squad so I assume he will go between the sticks tonight. He's actually quite good, Pennock rates him.
Been said before and will be said again, but the transfer window situation is ridiculous. The window should close before the beginning of the season and any manager that realises they still need players after that point is an idiot. To an extent I could just about deal with the window closing a week after the first game of the season just in case of those freak injuries come in. It isn't fair on us when we get picked over by a Premier League club and it isn't fair on the club we have to pick over for a replacement. I am sure Sky have way too much influence on this.
We have the loan window though, whereas Premier League clubs don't. So there's only really mid November to new years day that we can't sign anybody.
£7m deal says to me the deal is worth £7m, with £2m in addons. That's still a lot, I maybe wrong. £7m potentially rising to £9m is quite frankly ****ing ridiculous IMO. This chap was farting about in the conference the season before last and has had one good season in the professional leagues. That money could easily buy someone capable enough with plenty to spare to fill another big hole in the squad, in particular a number 10.

Only just realised it doesn't let you translate them unless they're on the actual twitter page. Even then they were a little off.
