    There was definite interest mate, looking like we are done there. Wish I knew more, I'm itching.

    Imagine if we could sell Ekwah and use the money to get Stansfield permanently, as an example. Or some other striker costing £6-8m

    Other than Michael Walker saying we were interested, is there any concrete sources that we were in for him? All the local journos just piggied back on the Sheffield Star.

    Looking back to it, Walkers tweet just stated Ugbo was an option. Phil Smith and the Sheffield Star said we were favourites to sign him.

    He was probably an option but nothing more.

    True, but he was reporting "interest" from our side rather than anything concrete like a bid or talks.

    Probably not, but I think there's many names that don't get out when they end up elsewhere.

    Anyone know when RLB will speak to the media this week? I enjoy listening to him, I always seem to learn something.

    I still think Sory Kaba could be us…

    So the way I’m thinking is. The two clubs that got leaked early on for him was Wednesday and WBA.

    Wednesday have gotten Ugbo by the looks and WBA got a spending restriction. Also their business is usually always all over social media.

    Our business is deliberately kept quiet. So unnamed club and at 1.3m this stinks of Sunderland to me

    Some of the reason is, we watch the lads & see a lad put good display in against us, maybe a few times, we then dont always go & watch them week in week out to realise those',lessor' players lift their game few times a season but cant do it week in week out

    I liked Camara, Fraser and Enobakhare. AlwYs thought the others were massively overrated. Enobakahare has cancelled most contracts since his loan to Cov, clearly been a troubled young man. Fraser and Kamara would have been okay though.
