If we don't get Delaney then I hope we're also keeping an eye about what's going on with Leander Dendoncker at Andelecht. Apparently he's also likely to move on this summer and he's at an age that we like to sign players at. They appear to be about the same standard as each other, either would...
Interesting piece in deichstube about Delaney. He was asked if he had played his last game for Bremen and was non comitial in his response. His agent met with Werder's head last Friday, apparently it was very brief and the club has since given all indication that he's on his way out. Apparently...
If the flop of the season relates to players newly signed then Soufyan Ahannach? Maybe not signed with the intention of going straight into our first team squad but we seemed keen to ship him off back to the Netherlands and it does seem that his chances of breaking through with us have...
If I had to pick just one then it would be Mario Lemina from Southampton.
Bertand, Redmond and Ward-Prowse would be handy additions to get our home grown numbers up.
7 goals in 8 games for Benevento since joining them on loan will definitely draw attention, but they have a buying option, so wouldn't be massively surprised if he signs and then swiftly moves on... especially as they're bottom of the league.
I do hope we're keeping tabs on Facundo Ferreyra...
Aston Villa also being linked now... hard not to put it down as one that's been pushed by the agent to drum up some interest in his client / use it as ammo to help him negotiate a new contract given his current one expires the end f next month.
A manager who feels like they have something to prove? Their debts are now cleared and they've got a new owner, plus they've got a few promising youth prospects coming through their academy. If (and it's a big IF) they can clear out the deadwood, like Rodwell then there's grounds for a team that...
Given we could do with a goal scoring central midfielder, I presume we've at least scouted Daniel Didavi. He's having a very good season (8 goals and 6 assists) in a very poor Wolfsburg team, and wasn't too shabby last season at VFB Stuttgart either. Can also comfortably play on either wing...
Given that those players each have long contracts with the club then surely it's the selling club that sets the price? If the buying club doesn't meet it then there's no deal.
With them having a new stadium on the way, I think he might stay there for a couple more years and slowly help them build their way up. Definitely hope he avoids the lure of the Championship clubs who seem caught up in a sequence of constant hiring and firing.
Bruno maybe the better technical player but can see him having trouble dealing with both the pace and fluidity of the Spurs attack (especially if he ventures further forward to support our attack). I'd prefer us to stick with the greyhound at least for that match and have Knocky ahead of him to...
Krul? Okay, not a first team player but his contract is up at the end of the season and he probably won't be happy being our number 2 goalkeeper long term. Important that we have a goal keeper that can push Ryan to maintain his good form and can cover if the worse happens. Might be difficult to...
TBH I'm just a little surprised that you haven't yet suggested we should go after Mario Ballotelli considering he's also done well at Nice and wants a return to England.
Given we'll need to bring in some home grown players in the next window, then it wouldn't surprise me if we reignited our interest in Nick Powell for the AM midfield role.
