What’s Brad guessing at when he says 2? Announcements next week? Surely Mika would be too early for tomorrow
 
Seems Jimmy is backtracking on Mika a bit now. Have others heard stuff from different sources?
I’ve heard the same from about 5-6 people now that we may or may not be close to Mika I wouldn’t like to outright say :emoticon-0105-wink:

Just hope we can get it over the line quick as a lot can happen

There’s a realistic chance with 5 weeks to go before the West Ham game we would of signed the following (excuse my spelling too many for me to be arsed to check):

ELF, diarra, sadiki, reinaldo, talbi, petrovic, mikautadze, lauriente.

would be 8 signings within 3 weeks of the window opening and all would improve us on paper. Some effort that like.
 
My fear with the Mika rumours is everybody is hearing the same thing and then using other as sources and getting carried away.

I’m trying to stay calm about it. There’s been hardly any link even in the actual media
As fun as it is I wouldn’t take anything any itk social media accounts as gospel until we get someone credible in the press release something

The club are VERY confident and they have asked certain journalists not to break the news until they have quietly got it over the line.
 
Lauriente is a great signing for the model and play style. I still see a versatile winger or forward coming in

so we’d have

talbi
Mundle
Lauriente
Roberts
Versatile forward
Mayenda
Isidor
Mikautadze

lots can play multiple positions

I also think it’s funny how over a week ago we got the link to say we opened talks with Sassuolo and now a week later L’Equipe say the same

last time that happened was diarra and we know how quick that changed
 
What’s people’s thoughts on O9

people otr having a good discussion, some saying if people come in at a decent level we should sell him. I said I’d keep him here no matter what (unless he wants to go) til he retires and have him in the coaching setup

I also said

I don’t get sentimental to players

O9 has played a stupid amount of games here. Been here since the first year in league one. Done everything for the club and absolutely loves the club, not mentioning the community side.

He is one that absolutely deserves to retire here

Others said we aren’t a charity and we shouldn’t keep people for the sake of it

think it’s a good discussion and be intrigued to hear thoughts
I’ll be honest not a massive fan BUT the lad has proved me wrong on many occasions I’d like him to do coaching badges and work with the young team he’s infectious
 
Purely speculative on my part but I wonder following the Bulka stuff and then following Sacha’s “early” news on Petrovic, whether the club have specifically asked the likes of Romano to report nothing on us in exchange for a heads up on the “exclusive” once it’s done.

Feels that way recently look at our last two signings

that’s why I think Lauriente might be further along now we opened talks ages ago

Very true. But media don’t pick up anything these days with our signings until just before we get a here we go.

last we heard foot mercato had said we were in negotiations with Lyon
