Sussex but not by the sea
One of the worst games I can remember him playing. Stunk the place out.

Anyway: Ferguson. I reckon his options in the PL are quite limited.

We would be insane to loan him to a club in contention for Europe (let's be optimistic here and imagine that we might pull a run together): think of the fallout if we missed out to the club we loaned him to. We cannot be that daft. So that rules out some of the clubs who could do with a striker like Bournemouth (injuries rather than form), Forest, Fulham, Chelsea etc. Villa, Brentford and Newcastle don't need strikers. Arsenal do but probably have their sights set higher. City don't. Man United definitely do but at only five points behind us, again, the club probably wouldn't entertain it. I doubt Palace wouldn't even ask the question and I hope we'd laugh them all the way back up the A23 if they did.

Everton would be a total waste of his time as they don't create any chances, Leicester & Ipswich can't take him anyway, Wolves only sign Mendes players and Southampton are far too shit to even think about.

The only options I could see being legitimate ones are West Ham or Spurs. Either of those could go on a decent streak and overhaul us (less so Spurs I guess) so there may be a risk of us shooting ourselves in the foot if we allowed it.

Marseilles can't be interested as he's not a wrong 'un. In conclusion (school essay style) I really hope- if he has to go out- that it's BvB.
I've been saying this for week but you put it much more eloquently!!!
The club would be mad to loan Evan to another EPL club.

Brighton ‘close’ to signing Diouf according to agent

”information confirmed by the player's agent to Africafoot. According to the details revealed, Brighton is ready to pay 16 million euros, with 2 million euros in bonuses, to secure the services of the young winger. The proposed contract would be over 5 years, with a net annual salary of 4 million euros.


Apparently ‘£16m‘ is not enough coming from Brighton but would be if Liverpool or Chelsea come knocking according to the Czech Club’s Chairman.

Club‘s Chairman suggested that price should be €20m+, before again making it clear he’d be more understanding if what he deems to be a huge club arrived for the defender:

“If Liverpool and Chelsea, who were also interested in him, had come with an offer of around €17-18m, I would have hesitated to approach it differently from the perspective of promoting the club or the player’s interest.’

If true, perhaps we should tell Slavia to piss off?

Sounds like the typical kind of last minute maneuvering we get when we buy a player from SA or a European teams not from the big 5 leagues.

Hopefully he’ll fall into line soon.

He’s still regarded as a major talent by us (if he wasn’t, he probably would have been loaned out by now) - the fact we are apparently looking outside the EPL for a loan club suggests that too.

‘Theoretically’ (‘theoretically’ because there’s been a dearth of goals recently) we have players ahead of him in the pecking order ( Pedro and Welbeck) and FH mentioned several months back that Evan needs to adapt to the ‘system’ (whatever that is!?). He is still coming back from long term ill health/injury - I suspect it is the medical team/physios that are having just as much input into how much football he plays as FH.

GET suggesting several Bundesliga could be interested, including St Pauli which I mentioned earlier who are fighting to stay up in the 1 Bundesliga but have struggled with their attacking play this season (I suspect partly due to the loss of Marcel Hartel at the end of last season)



Eintracht Frankfurt have just sold a striker to Man City. Nürnburg might fancy a loan of Evan as a sweetener if we really are after Tzimas.

yes, sounds like he's blinked.

It all feels a bit messy to me, we could only have 16 games left this season (hope not but could be) then we have a situation in the summer where all these players plus Osman and Sarmiento come back. Unless we are planning major sales it hard to see how the situation improves for any of them by then. Milner may retire but beyond that I don’t see much natural turnover in the positions they play.

Poster on a Derby forum earlier this afternoon suggested confidently Cashin was a done deal for around £9m.

100% unverified source, of course.

Seems so - article I posted this afternoon were saying after playing at the weekend, fans noted Cashin had stayed behind a lot longer waving ‘goodbye’ and he also wasn’t wearing the captain’s armband. That has fuelled speculation amongst fans that the Rams have accepted a bid from us.

Gross was the lynchpin for a lot of players, needed a like for like replacement.
That wasn't going to happen, so have to change system.
There seems to be a bit of unrest in the camp as well.
