Reckon Ejaria may well join on deadline day when Liverpool can't sell him. Obvs if Brentford are flush with cash from selling any of the 3 or 4 15 million rated players they seem to have (trying to work out how they didn't walk the league last year with so much talent) then that might change They'r...
My biggest concern is things like cultural adaptation to Championship and language barrier with rest of the squad. Manage that well and it looks like a very exciting signing.
I'd certainly be happy with the signing based on what I can see about him. If it happens be very interested to see how the deal is structured being as he is out of contract end of the season, and apparently worth a few quid. I'd be surprised however if we were able to afford any sort of transfer fe...
I reckon, teams that will definitely finish above us: Cardiff Derby Fulham Leeds Boro Stoke Swansea West Brom Teams that will finish below us: Barnsley Charlton Luton Millwall Wigan So we'll be in amongst this lot. Brentford Bristol City Brum Blackburn Huddersfield Hull Forest Preston QPR URZZZZ Sh...
It's an area where we can definitely do better. The question is whether this guy is actually better than what we have. Some keepers develop late, but a career in League 2 at 28 does not inspire confidence.
Our new super-journo Courtney reckons we are close to signing winger Lucas Boye from Torino Looks half decent on paper If this is on loan, could we get near our 5 loanee squad limit? He would be our third, with Botanini rumoured to be the fourth. If Ejaria then becomes possible, that's our matchday...

Is a winger who can play up front what we need? More experienced option than Loader, Barrett and Olise who can play there. But genuine out and out striker is surely more important? Maybe the club are trying their best to bring one of them in too and we should just be happy with extra options.
Argentinian. Played in Italy, Spain and Greece. Very different footballing cultures. Does he speak English? How will he settle? He may have talent for all I know. But is it realistic to expect him to come in and hit the ground running? Is one for the future what we need right now? As I said, I know ...
Mercenary is a harsh word given he's agreed to mutual termination. I'd just say an I'll thought out, useless signing of which we had many under Gourlay
Courtney Friday has taken a break from his holiday to tweet that we are working on 2 more deals before deadline day. Intimates that one is a striker and the other can play right wing. If we are only going on who we've been linked with would suggest that is Bonatini and Galeno (unless you class Ejar...
I appreciate stats like xG and all the rest, but anybody who failed to recognize a significant improvement in performances from February last season was either not at games, or was high on crack.
no problem with his showing ambition and backing himself. the only issue for me would be wages. If he can get anyone else to match what hes on now, good luck to him, but id imagine that would be unlikely. if he really wanted to get his career back on track and get a chance to reprove himself and ta...
not entirely sure what the situation was with his departure, whether it came predominantly from him, or whether we were desperate for the cash. what i do know is that when he was here he was an excellent player in a position and style we could do with currently and think its probably worth a look o...
