Looks like no go on Maloney - which is a shame as I think he'd be a good addition

Maloney staying

The Fire declined a bid from Hull City for Shaun Maloney last week and it didn’t sound like the Scottish attacker is going anywhere soon. Even if the Fire lose out on Wednesday night. The offer from Hull came too close to the close of the MLS summer window for the Fire to make a move to replace Maloney, even if they wanted to consider an offer.

“We got the sort of final-ish offer two or three days before the end of our window and it wasn’t a significant offer,” said Yallop. “It was more of them feeling the waters out, I think. Shaun was passive on the whole thing. He said, ‘look I’m a Chicago Fire player, if someone comes in and you accept the offer then I’ll talk to them – other than that I’m a Fire player’. He stuck to his word. Everything is fine. When it’s done, the offer didn’t get increased and the window closed for us. It didn’t give us any time to get any more players other than free transfers. Shaun is with us now and that’s good for everybody.”

Yep, what impresses me most is his clinical, confident finish; he never looks like he thinks anything else is possible, his body language makes the prospect of a row-z laughable. It might sound daft, but his style isn't something you coach into him, it's simply natural talent that you build on with opportunity. Let's get him in the door!

I can`t help thinking that although gray looks a good purchase, a lot of these goals were set up beautifully for him by judge and dallas, running onto the ball to finish well, i sincerely hope that SB has made a note of this and plays to his strengths, if we do then this lad is a steal at £9m

Some really good individual goals from nothing there, too.

I saw him as a replacement for Quinn & an upgrade - I think his goals scoing record below for a midfielder is pretty impressive

He is past it, hence why he is playing in THE MLS.

Hmmm
He keeps kicking the ball towards the goal!
I'm not sure he'll fit in?

If Burnley really are in then it makes us look really ****ing stupid for wasting time with the bullshit about pulling out of the deal a week ago when we are now seemingly prepared to pay what they asked for in the first place <doh>
