No, he told us that the medical that was booked got cancelled and the deals were not happening imminently. He also said the Lansbury deal was done but dont expect anything else until next week (meaning this week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was speculated elsewhere in the media that Barnsley pulled out of the deal so that they could play for them last Saturday, which seems to make sense. I'm pretty sure he went as far as saying the deal wasn't dead but that the medicals last week were cancelled and could be resurrected from what I remember. Also goes along with the theory that Barnsley wanted to keep them for the Leeds game. Edit: Beaten to it.

Good job he isn't signing for them down the road, as that would make him a blue cheese and he'd be playing in front of the (s)tilton !!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 52 minutes ago, TheMelvillan said: so this looks like it is happening - which is awesome - but on a serious note, I feel like the names of Hourihane, Lansbury and Bree were all first mentioned on this forum as players that people thought we should sign/ would like to sign - rather than rumours that people had heard of who we were going to sign. And only then the rumours appeared here, then in the media, and then it became fact. If that makes sense. I think this forum has more influence than we realise.......... I wouldn't flatter ourselves! It's more likely that we have people at the club who appear to know what the **** they're doing, at last. Regards Hourihane, obvious signing is obvious. But we've rarely done 'obvious' in the past. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly has the strongest inside knowledge since whoever was giving away our starting XIs under Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be on our 12th manager this season and the contracts of half the team would have been ripped up by now if it did! But at least we would have signed Dale Stephens.

Or maybe we are finally being a bit more shrewd with our business, and their contract situation is the very reason we are interested in them? maybe too maybe we're skint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jareth Posted January 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2017 Next game it is looking really possible that we will have Kodjia for Gabby, Lansbury and Hourihane for Westwood and Gardner, and Bree for Hutton.

Personally, I think we'd have all been disappointed if our summer purchases were Henri Lansbury and two chaps from Barnsley. Not so much anymore! It is indeed. We just don't seem to be able to spot players in the lower leagues and develop them. Like Hourihane. Like Alan Judge. Like Scott Hogan Hoping Steve Round is working on our scouting network from the ground up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love Snodgrass here. Bruce has managed him but think there is zero chance he'd drop down. He's been excellent this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's key was far better than McCormack Balaban at £6m back then is about £15m now and he barely played.
