Good Morning Everyone,

Bechio is training with Rotherham.

Have we missed a trick?

Could he have done a job for us?



Robbie McDaid is joining Lincoln City on loan.

Hope that's a good sign that he will be ready for first tea action soon.



Evans has been talking to BBC radio Leeds about two of his fringe players...

Jordan Botaka has not been showing the type of performances that says he is going to be starting games at Elland Road,”

“Dawson, I don’t really see the boy as being in the first-team squad,” Evans told BBC Radio Leeds on Thursday. “He’s been out a bit injured as well.”

Do either have a future at Elland Road.



Kyle Lafferty will not be coming to ER unless they try before they buy!

Evans wants to take the 28 yo on loan until the end of the season. Norwich, if they are to sell him want him sold on a permanent deal during the January transfer window.



Bellusci has been linked with Italian Serie A side Verona! Evans said United has already rejected two bids for the player from “overseas”.

Serie A? Is he better than we think?

Didn't Somma go to Lincoln on loan too?

Even if Barcelona wanted Bellusci it wouldn't make him good - would just mean someone has mud in their eyes!!

Morning!!

Morning Marcos, fook mud in their eyes, if Barca wanted him, I'd say they were delusional. <laugh>
 
Good morning all.. I actually prefer Bellusci over Bamba, either way we are a little light at the back, more so when Byram leaves. I have a feeling Norwich will back down on Lafferty towards the end of the month if another team doesn't come in for him.

Evans doesn't seem to rate Botaka, was he discovered by Rosler or the head scout? It doesn't sound like Dawson has a future listening to the Evans interview, I think we all expect 2-3 to leave, just a question of who comes in.

Don't you start with all this fishing too - there will be no one left to trust soon! You rate Bellusci over Bamba? Will have to try harder than that :steam:
 
Morning all. I agree with the try before you buy policy. Why don't Norwich want to let him come on loan, what are they hiding about him? After all, they owe us a fair few favours by now. January is a difficult time to pick up quality strikers especially when not wanting or able to spend a whole lot. We might have to see out this season with the ones we have. Joke of the day yesterday had to be two clubs interested in Sloth. Surely a couple of Scottish league three sides

Morning ristac, you're right about Evans not rating Botaka.

Morning Eire, they want the money now, and probably think they can get 1.5m for him.

As someone somewhere said, Norwich have had our pants down so many times, they should loan him to us and be happy to pay his wages!

Not fishing mate? I honestly prefer Bellusci and Cooper together, I don't rate Bamba and would prefer Tom Lees back over him. I'm not saying Bellusci is a great defender, just better than Bamba for me <ok>

I wouldn't mind seeing WJ's suggestion, Wotton in his preferred CB role when Berardi is fit again. Yes I might regret that but Evans is transforming Wootton slowly so who knows if he gets a chance at CB he might be quite good
 
If Evans can get Wootton playing to his former levels at CB we could have a good defence, let's not forget he has made it into scum's first team in the past so he's no mug.

Sorry mate I just assume everyone is. I have developed a nervous twitch since I started posting on here what with Kato, sorry, I mean Glory, lurking around every corner!

As the learned Jimmy Greaves said, it's a funny old game. You (sort of) rate Bellusci, I wouldn't pick him in our local Sunday side, you don't like Evans and I think he is a total breath of fresh air (actually, it has just dawned on me, I think I like him because he deflects attention away from Cellino!!).

Don't be fooled by the cunning Celt, that was my idea about Wootton (just wait for a few pages of proof that it wasn't!!).

Thought for the day, where are all the pesky pussies? Are Millwall on a bad run?

No need to appologise <ok>

I very rarely join in on banter threads, face to face I love a good wind-up but on a forum it's different for me, I think some of it goes too far but if those participating are okay with it then it's all good, I tend to avoid 90% of it.

True I dislike Evans, less so now than day one, my disliking him doesn't mean I haven't been impressed with some of the things he has done. He is slowly winning me over, if we get Lafferty and he scores for fun that would be two steps forward, if we get him and he is a flop two steps back where Evans is concerned.
