    Unless there is no break clause, which seems to be the case here.

    I presume we’ll be hearing about a sale soon. Not sure why else we’d recall him from a Championship loan where he is getting plenty of minutes.

    It’s normally a sign of desperation to do a lot of business in January. I’d be quite relaxed if we didn’t do any business until the summer. I guess it will be a one out, one in policy if we get any reasonable offers for our fringe players.

    I don’t think they will be stupid enough to throw everything at January. It could disrupt the team too much. They’ll take a measured approach and maybe sign one of our long term targets if one of them becomes available.

    We’re giving away far too many chances again. Need to tighten up in these away games.

    The links don’t really mean anything. If we don’t want to sell, we won’t. We rejected several deadline day offers when we could have lost him for nothing a few months later. The summer might be different if he doesn’t sign a new long term contract, but I’d say there is 0% chance we sell him in January when we have a shot at top 4/5.

    Another home defeat. Looks like a survival battle.

    Not sure I like where this is going…quite a sad, reflective photo of him to choose.

    Super finish!

    The equaliser was coming. We’ve just sat back since taking the lead. Disappointing really because we could have scored more.
  12. thejoker
    We seem to be ramping up these agreements now. It’s too bad that we won’t see any benefit for a few years yet.

    We’re a bit powder puff away from home this season. I’m sure Emery knows best, but maybe a more pragmatic approach would suit us better.

    To be fair, Unai could probably do it as an evening job.
  15. thejoker
    I wonder if there is a female Unai Emery out there somewhere!?

    Very good tonight. More of the same please Youri.

    Doesn’t really inspire much confidence with some of her answers. The start has been dreadful, but I’d say she’s still got plenty credit in the bank to get the chance to turn things around.

    We look a shadow of the team from last season. No cohesion at all.
  19. thejoker
    We’re never going to have a team full of academy players. If you can get a first team player every 18 to 24 months then the academy has done its job. Most players will know how hard to make it as a professional footballer. We will attract more top youngsters if we keep producing players for Premier League and Championship teams.

    I like it. Not looking too desperate. Bet they can’t wait to accept a bid really.
  21. thejoker
    Or maybe not

    I guess we’re waiting until we’ve played Burnley. We’d look a bit stupid if he scored on his debut against us.
  23. thejoker
    He has to be signed by 12pm to be available for Sunday. But even if we announce it after 12pm, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t registered before 12.

    We need to be realistic here. Our 2 first choice left sided midfielders (Ramsey and Buendia) are both injured. Ramsey should be back in about a month. We’re not spunking £30m+ on someone that will most likely be for cover. A loan with an option to buy is as near risk free as we’re going to find.
  25. thejoker
    It’s such a shame that he can’t be eased in gently now. The same as Moreno back when he was thrown in early for his debut when Digne limped off after about 15 minutes. I doubt there’s another team with such bad luck with injuries.
