Dan is not interested in leaving, that came from himself direct, it has all been press talk, 5 or 6 have said they keep away from NE journalists as they stir **** up.

Great to hear, but then again sad, that local journalists have such a poor standing. Then again, I'm glad the lads have seen them for what they are.

He wouldnt be a regular though. Remember hes been a PL club before so knows what its like when you dont play.

These lads dont seem the type to leave just for money when they know how important playing is. The reason we signed them were because of this attitude so i dont think any will leave just for money (stewart potentially the only one due to his age and the money he would have been on in scotland).

These players love playing football and unfortunately i dont see many/any of them playing regularly in the PL just yet.

Give it another yr though and i think 5/6 of our lads will be able to play regularly in the PL

My thoughts exactly,and if we don't make it this year,that's when we'll have to swallow losing some of them.

They went all the way in the Europa Conference last season, highly unlikely they will compete deep into all four tournaments.

They have Zouma and Aguerd as their first choice with Kehrer and Ogbonna as 3rd and 4th choice. They also have that Luizao who they signed in January and loaned back out.

He would arguably be 5th or 6th choice.

Zouma and Aguerd are both sicknotes though, and Ogbonna is past it. I reckon he'd be fourth choice (behind Kehrer), but with four competitions and Zouma/Aguerd almost guaranteed to miss a decent number of games, he'd get quite a bit of playing time, IMO.

Having said that, I don't think he'll leave. SAFC know his potential and WHU won't be willing to gamble the sort of money we'll want on someone unproven in the Prem. Can't see the clubs coming to an agreement.

I assume Clarke is happy to stay too? I know his agent had said as much but those that get bits from inside the club have you heard similar?
 
If we're looking for another striker option we should consider Josh Coburn from Boro, he actually came through our youth sides but we let him leave. He has done well for Boro and when out on loan, looks like he can finish and has a physical presence not to mention he is from up this way. At 20 he's still very young and will probably accept a role as back up to Stewart, competing with Hemir for a spot on the bench, sticking point might be that as a former player who we let go, we might not be keen to pay very much.
