Someone’s put on Twitter that Lihadji is here for a medical now. No idea how true just thought I’d pass it on for those on socials!

Genuinely laughed at this.

Dajaku out and Gelhardt in to take his place in the squad sounds like a great bit of business. Well done the recruitment team .

 

[Mackem-Tiz]

The general thought is that Simms won't be coming back due to the "uncertainty" at Everton.

Also it seems an upgrade on Matete to Ekwa

 

[Bob the Mackem]

Unlike Hume, Dakaju can play 3 different positions so he has multiple opportunities to make an impression against different players, not just Diallo.

So

He might be able to stand in those positions but play 1st team football I doubt it.

Time will tell about that one mate, i was disappointed to see Matete leave, even more so now Evan's is out.

I was told today, Everton want him out but not on loan.

I have no idea what your on about there mate?? Theres nothing else to say about Dajaku now, I've said my opinion and I'm now focused on talking about his replacement which sounds like a big upgrade.

Its us or nobody then, so that should really help us from a negotiating standpoint if we are so inclined...

As long as your happy mate, no poison intended

Fire up the believe bus!!

After a handful of games I said in a match thread that I didn't really know what Amad was supposed to be doing. He wasn't a right winger and he wasn't playing as a number 10.

Thankfully, he's just decided that he'll play both roles at the same time and it's all clocked for him. There was definitely an element of frustration from me, but he's also found much better form once playing every week which I didn't really appreciate at the time.

Me too marra - I thought Diallo was a headless chicken after his first two or three games. Class now like.

off to Wigan instead?

 

[Sunderpitt]

I am more concerned about Evans being out for the rest of the season ( our luck with key players, continues).

Dan is getting better, but I have concerns about Michut being up for it physically.

Michut will be the same. Once the gametime comes and he gets some confidence. Him and Xavi Simons were head and shoulders above the rest of PSG’s youth last few years. Both left to chase first team football, Simons is getting it at PSV admittedly in a league that’s not the best but he’s been on fire in the Europa league too. Just needs a chance to figure out our system and get himself in there.

He’s an 8 or a 10, he doesn’t need to be huge.

I was impressed we'd signed a young lad from bayern so paid a lot of attention to him, his movement and work rate are unbelievable, his decision making is questionable to say the least but that can be coached, the problem is people are writing him off and never really watched him,
The amount of times he pulls the full back out wide and the looks to make the diagnol run between the full back and CB but doesn't recieve the ball.
He is probably one of the best strikers of a ball at the club, but unless you are at the game and just watch him then you should be criticising the lad, the highlights show doesn't show his work off the ball.
Really hope he gets game time and comes back the player I'm sure he can be

Quite a mixed bag of comments concerning Dajaku , bottom line as far as I’m concerned is that the bar has been raised and to get in to the side you have to be a lot better and producing on a regular basis . The same is true of Matete who has a similar mixed bag of comments and has also gone out on loan , as the club progresses it will put a lot of players under pressure and ultimately it will be the Manager who decides who goes in to the team . Going out on loan can help in some cases with a change of environment bringing about improvement or in some cases putting them in the shop window for possible moves . Wish both of them the best of luck and would be delighted to see them return better players .
