I hope he loves up to your hype

Im looking forward to chiquinho next year

Not sure what will happen with him. Has he done much with his loan spell?

So Hugo's nickname is "Mr Lover man" huh? lol.

For me, the only hype he needs to live up to is not being Danny ****ing Ings.

Jonny....

 

[NothingButNeto]

Jonny....

Yes…..?

We still have to move Jonny and Jordao on, but yes the outgoing business is on track.

Let’s see some incomings now, Hobbsy!

 

[glorybox]

Personally i think if the potential bids of 40m for max, big bid for Sa etc come in this winter then i think we should take them as long as we have replacement targets lined up. We wld have half a season to bed in the new players ready to go into next season and as for the rest of this season, we realistically need to win another 3 games to be safe.

This isn’t a game of FIFA

Surely we just terminate Jordao at some point Jonny little bit more difficult with his huge wage

Sell him yes, but termination is a bit brutal.

Jordao's contract expires in the summer, it's just going to wind down I reckon.

Exactly, we have a season to finish, and to finish strongly is imperative.

He won’t get his 20k a week elsewhere

Cost us €8.9m suppose was worth it for Neto alone. He did actually look quite promising before his injury. Obviously doesn’t train very well. No manager has took to his abilities

EAFC now……

Get with the times, grandad….. are you not down with those kids on the street…..

hahahaha

(This is a joke)

 

[those were the days]

I've watched a bit of Ekitike and have my doubts but what do I know. If we do loan him, let's hope it's with a option and not an obligation to buy. Just because a team spends 35m on a young striker and all that...

 

[Monswolf]

I think Ekitike would be excellent in our team. I just think he fits with the style of football we play. I can see him dovetailing nicely with Chuna

Don’t get the hype either hardly a strong lad to hold the ball up

 

[Pseudonym]

He's no Luke Cundle.

 

[Stafford]

I'm kind of confused what kind of striker we are looking at now.

Is Hwang now our main out and out striker going forward, last few games before going off, he was very much our guy up top and repeatedly finding space in behind the oppositions defence. Are we looking for someone as backup who is pacey and can make the same kind of runs? Some one who is good on the ball and can interchange with the front 3? Or someone with different attributes, maybe offering strength and heading ability? And Hwang going back out wide.

 

[Pseudonym]

Reports that Mbappe to Madrid is done.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Is there talk of Kilman going to Napoli for 40m again?

Surely we can't be that lucky again can we? That would be truly incredible business.

I think a pressing forward is probably the best description. Channy can do it, and imo it's his best position, but he's the only one and he's adapting. I think ideally GON would like a Solanke type (big while also having the engine to press a good bit and with finishing ability), but I'd like a pony.

Someone who can't do the running to fit in the structure just won't play. See: Sasa

Hwang has to stay central

Ideally it is someone with a better all round game than Hwang, who can press and score goals

 

[A3wolf]

Just picked up Sheff U have got Brereton Diaz on loan. Seems a very decent piece of business for them.

No goals or assists in 20 appearances for Villareal this season, albeit largely off the bench. If they're going to sign him permanently then I think it's sensible, but I'm not sure he's the man for a quick turnaround in fortune.

Wrong on so many levels.

Skilled, strong, loyal, likeable, a staple of our mandated requirement to have at least 7 players from British isles, Kilman is key player to both the spine and spirit of the team.

I convinced that the FIFA game has destroyed some fans' ability to understand real world football.

Never played FIFA but I’ve seen Kilman in back four and he’s nowhere near what you’d want from a £40m player. I’d be surprised and disappointed if we couldn’t replace him with better for about half the reported fee.

 

[Ned]

Kilman was a lot better in a back 4 when he had Dawson alongside him. Him and Collins just didn’t gel because one was inexperienced and the other too quiet to look after him.

Problem is that more than half of the fee gets you a Nathan Collins

[wwbug]

Before 2nd January we had a squad regarded as too small - so far we have made it smaller.

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Reports that Mbappe to Madrid is done.

Where are the "We should have been all over that one" comments? The Mix is slipping.

Not heard anything that suggests he doesn’t train very well, and istr that the the u21 coach, Steve Davies?, was very complimentary about his input.

Looking forward to you getting the Chief Scout of DoF job next time it is advertised!!!

I know ...and some on here seem almost seem happy to make it smaller by letting senior , established players go (Kilman , Neto) .....Decent fees mentioned , but whats the point of money in the bank ......We need players on the pitch & on the bench

He’s the 5th top scorer currently.
