Do we?If we sign bilal then we need to sign another midfielder and I don’t think the club will want to do that

I don’t know about you but I wouldnt pay Neil the same as Enzo and Diarra. Do you reckon Neil could get a 25million transfer ?Ah finally caught up
Was at shields and the set up was pretty much the same as last year dont think it was two pivots
Nice to see some new links, the lad from Leicester was shunted to the left at first but seems a canny player leicester ST holder mate says he is currently their best player not thats much to shout about atm
Would imagine the info re Neil contract is true, is rightfully going to ask for what Diarra and Enzo are on - Probably meet somewhere in the middle
Yes we do.Do we?
I don’t think the club are gonna sign extra midfielders for AFCON depth though. So if they are targeting this lad instead of depth for the midfielders already leaving to AFCON I can’t see itYes we do.
otherwise we’ll have 3 available midfielders when AFCON goes on. 0 depth
Which is exactly what I’ve just saidI don’t think the club are gonna sign extra midfielders for AFCON depth though. So if they are targeting this lad instead of depth for the midfielders already leaving to AFCON I can’t see it
They’re in training at AoL at the minutethink its today,,,
and who knows, they could get announced over the next couple of days
Anyway welcome to the quietest transfer window day of the week.
Monday is always a quiet one…
We have seen he hasn’t got the talent that Le Fee has, on that basis alone he’s not worth the same money as him.Ah finally caught up

I wonder how many actually go, I wonder if there are any who are happy to stay rather than go (i very much doubt it)Which is exactly what I’ve just said
it’s absolutely mental. I trust the club to have a plan for those already going or if we sign say a striker going to AFCON
but having half your midfield away would be silly
We’d have the bare bones of a midfield. ELF, Rigg and Neil. Plus Browne depending if he stays but he’s not a PL midfielder. One injury away from struggling to put a midfield together!I mean… we can
Neil and Rigg will need minutes if they both stay you know and the depth options will have a good chance to fill in.
Also not every team will get to the final they aren’t all gonna be gone for 6 games
I doubt it it’s huge for themI wonder how many actually go, I wonder if there are any who are happy to stay rather than go (i very much doubt it)
I agree but it really depends on the profile of player the club want, we aren't going to not pick our favourite option due to their country. But like I say they won't all go far and be gone for 6 gamesWe’d have the bare bones of a midfield. ELF, Rigg and Neil. Plus Browne depending if he stays but he’s not a PL midfielder. One injury away from struggling to put a midfield together!
You’d expect Senegal, Morocco and Ivory Coast to all go deep into the competition as 3 of the leading countries. So that’s Diarra, Adingra and Talbi missing a substantial period plus this lad from Leicester if we got him in. Congo will probably get out of their group as well as they’re in a poor group. The only one that will likely come back at the earliest point after the group games is Reinildo! Don’t fancy our chances against City with Neil, Le Fee and Rigg in midfield and all having to complete 90 mins as we have no cover! Or more importantly being in that situation against a winnable opponent - Leeds!I agree but it really depends on the profile of player the club want, we aren't going to not pick our favourite option due to their country. But like I say they won't all go far and be gone for 6 games

I'd agree but we now have another solid link that we have approached this El Khannouss so I don't knowAt this stage I honestly think the club will be putting some stock into it. Even if it's only 3 - 4 games, that's still huge for our season. As of right now, our midfield 3 during AFCON will be significantly worse than what we had in the Championship... and it got overrun at times there.
If we don't sign another non-AFCON midfielder we may as well not show up for those games, imo.
This boy is up there to make an impact this season... you could see it in his play against (I know) Shields.. bags of skill ,quick and strong.That said I would love a new striker but I would not be against Abdullahi surprising us. He’s a big lad and seems really strong and fast
Always a tough one to know how much he should be on - the club will have their amount and Neil will have his.I'm not saying Neil should or shouldn't get the wages Enzo or Diarra is getting, hard for us to determine how much the staff rate what he contributes to the club
But if am Neils agent thats what im aiming for, the captain of the team started every game available - Like I say I dont think he will get it the lads who come through the academy at any club they dont get the same fair whack as others but thats every club even Carragher and Neville metnioned it a couple of times on the overlap
Been impressed every time i've watched him, he's a big lad, has some proper strength about himThis boy is up there to make an impact this season... you could see it in his play against (I know) Shields.. bags of skill ,quick and strong.
