Maybe, but stranger things have happened. Who would ever have guessed Vicente would show up? Agreed its unlikely, even though he has the same agent as Liam Rosenoir.
edit: He also has the same agent as our other signing defensive signing Gaëtan Bong.
Probably, but would rather the club went after someone like Isaac Cuenca. Played at Deportivo last season and is also ex Barcelona, two footed, creative, available on a free and would bring FLAIR to the final third

^so much this. Think Poyet has seriously tarnished his reputation since those events in 2013 and now has to rebuild his reputation more or less from scratch. Almost 0% chance of that being at a Premiership club and most Championship clubs would be hesitant. Leeds is a poisoned chalice, wouldn't...
TBF both autobiographys are largely pieces of fiction:

^ This .... a few years ago yes, but now with players like Pirlo, Kaka, Gerrard and Lampard heading over there, BZ wouldn't be one of the three a club would go over the salary limit for.
100% agree on the striker to compete with Baldock and I don't think Sam Gallagher is the answer. Out of 22 appearances (1717minutes) for Southampton in the U-21 Premier League he scored 3 goals. If he struggles to score in their dev squad chances are he won't be that natural goal scorer we need.
Because A: Hughton and co are away due to the Aberdeen game B: pretty sure the people the transfer needs to be registered with do not work on Sundays - hence no transfer activity being done / traditional window date being pushed day back when it lands on a Sunday.
What is certain is that one of Rea or Dallison need to go out on loan this season, preferably to a league one club to get match experience and to aid their development. Both are good prospects for the future.
Also Greer will be nearing 36 this time next year, wouldn't be surprised if this...
Creative, left footed winger and Spanish so wouldn't be surprised if our scouts havet cast their eyes over him a few times. Plus he's only 24 and given that he's also spent time at Real Madrid B may link up well with our recent Spanish acquisition.
Incidentally, he's also really good in...
And judging by this transfer window so far, there's a high chance of it being none of those and instead a player none of us have heard of and who is over 6ft, of African descent and plays in the Jupiler league.
Depends on what happens in the two CB positions but wouldn't be surprised if Greer continued in short term with arm band being worn by either Rosenior, Kayal or Crofts when he's not playing.
If both came back with tails between his legs and both were willing to accept a pay cut so that the deals would be affordable than yes. Both would be solid additions, Bridcutt +Ince would be perfect for when we needed to adopt Mourinho style park the bus tactics. Also in dire need of an...
Can't fault the role Upson played whilst he was here and had hoped he'd retire here. Would I like him back now though? Hmmmm, probably not. Though he would be a great role model for Dallison and White, he had major injury problems last year and can easily see him and Greer (who seems to be...
Think Hughton will give the youth a chance this season - with Rea, Harper, Hambo, Tilly and Dallison all being on the fringes of the first team, but definitely need a few more experienced heads around them.
We definitely need an experienced centre back ( if Dunk goes), pref in his mid to late...
