Always wary of a player who turns you down then makes a u turn but like afobi last season. Lucky to get rid of him
THE DEFINITIVE TRANSFER IN/OUT THREAD!!!
- Thread starter Wippa
- Start date
He didn't make a u turn the club wanted him off the wage bill.
Yes that's correct. We were very lucky to get rid of out top goal scorer. Should have binned off Bradshaw and Flemming as well. Who needs goals eh!
You never liked a bloke that scored goals for us and played for the team. I can't think for the life of me why,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We got Ballard, Creswell, we have improved them which will do us no harm.Coventry had 2 players in the England U20 team beaten in the current World Cup quarterfinal, on-loan from Arsenal and Man City. Both in their playoff starting lineup and played at least 90 minutes.
I appreciate Cresswell came good but as a rule we struggle to get loan players of this quality.
Why?
I think a lot of it is down to GR’s style of football and all the time he remains our manager this will continue

Both centre halfs though mate, the frontline and creativity is what we need, Sunderland had that kid from man u as well as the everton lad on loan up front not sure what I'm trying to say to be honest just I think for every 10 good centre halfs out there, theres only 1 forward, we have had on loan quality centre forwards before kane, Chris wood ect but if your coached by a defensive manager prem clubs probably more willing to send there defender's there and Visa versa
Yes mate, i think it's area that parent clubs know there player will get a good coaching. There's a reason we never got technichally adept attacking players on loan when Harris was here and quite possibly when Rowett is with us. iI's not an area that the manager or coaches can help the loaneee improve on. Plus our style such as long ball the bypasses the midfield.
Perhaps if we had people like Morrison working with both our own youth, senoirs and any loan strikers we'd get a better type of loan. Premier clubs ain't going to send a developing striker to play our physical and demanding type of football. That hasn't really happened since Kenny Jackett left us!

The player we are after is Sydney Van Hooijdonk of Bologna. I would liken him to former Chelsea striker Tore andre Flo, who played for them @ 20 years ago .
He is currently on loan at sc Heerenveen in Holland. We tried to do a deal in January, but couldn't get it done due to his current loan situation. Only after that did we try to get Nesbit.
The problem now is that he has gone on a scoring spree and is one of the top scorers in the eredivise. He is also being linked with Forest, although that may be due to the fact his father played for them.
After the success of Flemming don't be surprised if we sign a couple more from Holland.
Ole Romeny of Fc Emmen, is a name I've heard mentioned. This is the club Mikel Kieftenbeld went to, he is a goal scoring winger and out of contract.
Vaclav Cerny is another name, a Czech right sided player of Fc Twente.

It's quite possible that we'll sign him. Have been told by a reliable source that we are interested in him.
And further afield. It's the way forward for a club with our spending power. Buy low, put them in the window, hope they perform and sell for a decent profit and go again.
Flemmings value will have increased since he came, it would ahve quadrupled had we got promoted. It's what Brentford and Brighton do and are very successful at it. Brighton go down the south american/ non europe route. They sold a defender to Chelseas for £50 million after paying £18 million for him a year prior to that.
That's a shame but was always the liklihood once they were relegated. It's the only reason why i didn't want Leeds to drop. He was developing nicely under Rowett until he got injured.
Latest report from Holland is that he is signing for Utrecht now.
Fair enough, lets see. I do know we have been asking questions.

Looks like he is out of contract, so he is in our price range.

If we sign him, won’t it get a bit confusing if the players are stringing 20-30 passes to each other, and every supporter is shouting, “Ole, Ole,” every time a successful pass is made?
Poor old Ole won’t know if he’s coming or going!
Have you been drinking? We won't be seeing 30 passes to feet all season never mind in one game

Very good player and perfect for us. Hope it can happen.
Cheating diving horrible cunt.
Good player though and does score a fair few. Probably worth a punt. Better option than Nisbet
