The lad from arsenal? I don't think it's likely in this window, but I wouldn't be surprised to see longman move on in summer
Doesn't sound like Pelkas is going anywhere - 'He's been brilliant as a person and is someone I want to work with long-term'.
Me neither, Rosenior seemed adamant about assessing Salah’s future after he’s recovered when asked about him so can’t see that one. Agree on Longman, needs to find his best position because he’s not dynamic enough to be a winger and no clinical enough to be a 9.
I’d make a case for keeping Elder here til the end of the season and getting Fleming out on loan for 6 months. Woods for me is one of the first out in summer, so so underwhelming in every sense
I reckon Smith will be gone towards the end of Jan as long as Tetteh & Allahyar have no set backs There's people like C Jones and Chadwick who are still considered as kids when they really aren't and will be training with the first team daily. They're both older than Allahyar With potentially 4 incoming plus Salah, Traore, Tetteh & Allahyar coming back, that's 8 news players possibly coming into the 18. Lot of change again
We can lose the much vaunted Chelsea u21's (who incidentally got beat 4-0) by Colchester in the papa John's. Smith, Williams, perhaps Elder (he's out of contract and a CB in his place) and Scott is on a fair wage - doubt Callum Jones and a couple others will make much difference to the wagebill but are numbers we can lose post January registration.
I can see Williams/Scott/Chadwick/Jones/Smith going plus Cannon who has gone, possibly Elder, with Fleming and Greaves as left back cover, so at least 6 or 7 going out. and maybe a couple coming in and likely there will be one or two unexpected departures as well.
Rosie on the three Chelsea loanees... "Yep, they're right in my thoughts," Rosenior told Hull Live. "They travelled with us (to Watford) and were unfortunate not to be on the bench. "They've both made an excellent impression on me. Harvey's got some outstanding abilities and is a really good athlete, Xavi's got everything in a midfield player that I like and he's going to be a great player in the long-term. "It's taking time for me to get to know the players, to get to know the team and how we can win games in the short-term, but they're both in my thinking for the weekend (against Sunderland). "I've had a conversation with Chelsea about those two and Nathan, as well, and we've decided that come the last week in December, first week in January we'll have another conversation on that."
From what I know: In Palace youngster deal is nearing completion, should be done by NY. Striker at Burton is the preferred option but there’s also a chance to sign a player from a bigger club abroad on loan, waiting to see what the finances will be like and who leaves and when before a decision is made. Aaron Collins and the lad at Luton (Adeboyejo?) are also options. Out Williams been told to find another club, few in L1 and L2 want him on loan but we want him gone. George Boyd style loan with a contract at the end could be an option. Scott they’re happy to see go, accepted they will make a loss. Elder, Chadwick, Callum Smith will be allowed to leave if an offer comes in (won’t be high because they’re out of contract.) as Fleming is seen as the long term solution and Greaves and Coyle being able to play there has added cover. To be addressed in Summer. No idea about McLoughlin, but Rosie rates him and if Greaves is used as cover at LB, we need that cover until Summer. Tyler Smith will be sticking around unless a good offer comes in, Rosenior wants him. Talks have taken place about keeping Pelkas long term, depends on the player wanting to stay, as of yesterday I don’t know whether he does or not but it sounds like he’s happy. Salah has looked immense in training when fit and there is a keenness to keep him, but his injury proneness is a worry and they’re hoping once fit they can assess whether buying him will be worth it. Chelsea lads will go back, Simons definitely as he’s wanted by a few L1 clubs, Vale will go back once cover arrives (Palace lad). Tufan doesn’t want to leave, but the club are willing to accept good bids like they would for any other player. A move to a big Turkish club might be hard to turn down. Coyle might be allowed to leave, but that was said with a wry smile so I’m guessing somebody wants him, I don’t think he wants to go and the club aren’t pushing him, will depend on the offer. Interest in Greaves again, club will try to rebuff. Doc has interest from Scotland and Championship, Watford and WBA apparently impressed with him. Baxter permanent decision will be made in January depending on playing time for Cartwright and Robson at their clubs. Tim LT really impressing and Ingram has a longer contract, but if one of the two aforementioned is ready they’d prefer one of those than sign somebody else. One to keep an eye on. Interest in Jarvis from L2 clubs. Wood wanted by Halifax and Scunthorpe. Usual youth loans to piddly little mining towns to come later in the window.
Pretty much spot on, they only thing I've heard different is the loan from the larger foreign club is the preferred option, but I guess things like that will change depending on availability and movement etc. Coyle is an interesting one but I'm thinking it's further on then is being let on. Baxter's robustness is a concern and I think that may be the deciding factor on him
Given the potential of Lo-Tutala and Cartwright it almost seems like its pointless too. Lo-Tutala is a freak physically, can use both his feet and I think he could be our number 1 within a year
How tall is Latula seems there is a penchant for tall goals keepers at the moment. And that extra length will come in handy in penalty shootouts when City are playng in the new Club World Cup proposed byu Fifa.
Hope one of those piddly little mining towns is Ashington and that someone comes back as the new Bobby Charlton-though I woud prefer one with hair.
It won't be Ashington as it's too far. The clubs have to be within relative distance due to them being part time. The players we send out are still able to play for our stiffs and in youth cups and some train with us, but some of them can't drive yet so unless they can get a lift back twice a week they have to be near the club. Hence why we loan to clubs like Pickering, Bridlington, Beverley Town, Hall Road, Barton etc. Ones that can drive can be sent further afar to places like Tadcaster, Ossett and, in Macca's case, Belfast. Jim Simms could be one going out on loan, York have asked after him and I think Boston was mentioned too.
