Not really, I'm in a group chat, a few of the people in there are ITK, it's normal that names are flying around here and there and this was one of them that kept coming up in the last 48 hours.

Not in your group and don't know if there is any truth in it or not (not doubting you btw), we've got a German mob from Stuttgart doing some subcontracting work for us. They have mentioned this lad previously as being a bit of a radge but also being a very good defender.

He's massive and all left foot, but prepared to put his head on anything and reads the game very well. Downside is that he's not the quickest.

They would be disappointed to lose him and would be surprised if we got him.

Sounds decent to be fair. Must stress, I know nothing about the lad personally, all from what they have told me.
 
We would only be able to get 1 wont we?
It’s really tricky to clarify this but I think the two is domestic loans and that you can also have international loans.i think Ipswich had three at one time last season, one from Brighton and two international loans.
 
Helicopter been to the AoL


So this is the flight track

Blackpool airport -> Liverpool airport at 6:33am landing at 6:46am

Liverpool airport -> Blackpool airport at 7:44am landing at 7:58 am

Blackpool airport -> Sunderland Nissan helipad (is what it’s listed as but lad sanded it landed at AoL)

Now it’s currently leaving Sunderland , assuming back to Blackpool airport.

Anybody come into Liverpool John Lennon airport this morning?
Isak training at the AoL after signing his Liverpool deal seems unlikely especially when they are having a big BBQ bash at Blue Flames

I'll be honest, I've never heard of the player before I looked him up, I trust certain people in that chat because they've been proven correct on several occasions, one of them is even a prominent journalist, so I trust the information in there but the difference between concrete offers and informal discussions of shortlisted players is huge and it's not possible to tell which is which.

The info about Everton enquiring is spot on, West Ham did as well earlier in the window - Brentford is news to me but totally makes sense that they'd be looking at him

On DCL I think he would be a decent enough signinh for us, providing wages arent too high. He is injury prone but he's not coming in as 1st choice strikers and he gives us a different option upfront to what we've got
In my opinion,DCL is exactly the kind of player we'd have signed in our previous lives,and I hope we don't go anywhere near him. He's been up there and come back down,injury prone,high earner,his present club, who are hardly top contenders, want rid.Given his age,what sort of length contract would he want. Signing him goes against all our previous mantras.....if Everton want to do a part ex deal for Neil, don't take it. If they want Neil,they'll have to buy him outright.

Fair enough mate. We'll see how it pans out.

Bologna fans today on a Lucumi post, maybe something hit Italian newspapers or a Bologna ITK hinted something? But they seem to think he’s coming here

Then a WBA fan yesterday regarding Heggem and Bologna
 
I have a lad messaging who keeps insisting we're seriously considering Calvert-Lewin, he said the same about Xhaka and I ignored him.

He's mates with a football agent, based in Monaco I think and ex-friends with Ken Bates.

He reckons the player wouldn't need a signing on fee and would be a good option for the wages he'd expect.

I really don't like the player but this lad mentioned him while he was an Everton player and claimed Moyes would have him out, on loan, swap deal or whatever.

Could it be that Dyche, Moyes, etc, didn't make the best use of him ...

... I don't like him but he's put a thought in my head now <doh>

The Calvert-Lewin that Ancelotti had is a £40m striker. Unfortunately, he's been unable to stay fit and healthy for a long time. He seems to be the type that never plays through a knock.

I was a big fan in his early days, loved his work ethic and he was a threat in the air.

On a free transfer and for a financial package that doesn't break our structure, he's worth a punt imo. PL experience and knowing how at a knock down rate. He's also only 28, if he can find form, he's a huge asset.

Far too injury prone and heard a rumour he is demanding massive wages
 
I know he’s not everyone’s taste, but as a 4th striking option alongside then 3 we’ll have, I’m not against it. Didn’t realise he’s still only 28. His returns in a very up and down Everton side aren’t bad considering his injuries too. If it’s affordable (big if) could be shrewd.

Could also see Dan Neil to Brentford or Everton, if he’s got a decent agent. If not, he will be at Ipswich imo
Hes 28. Would he be happy being 2nd or 3rd choice?

I always liked the quote attributed to Alex Ferguson about, I think it was Luis Saha. That he didn't know the difference between being hurt and being injured. Basically insinuating that he wouldn't play unless he was 100% but the reality is, when you're putting your body through what these lads have to you're rarely going to be 100% and completely free of little strains and niggles.

It's the mentality and the knowledge (of your own body) to know the difference and it must be a huge thing in the modern game. Particularly with all the information, diagnosis and analysis available.
 
Interesting that his fashion era coincided with his decline and subsequent depression.
