January transfer window rumours.

The stupid daughters attempt at humour wrecked our Tella chances.

That was embarrassing. Alan must have been humiliated by that.

Don’t think it will be Andy Wharton he retired years ago,may be Adam Wharton.

We could do with a left back ourselves

Sounds a good deal they will get him back on loan til the summer

The Aussie's seem to be bringing the tash back into fashion, so maybe he's ready to make a comeback.

[Tricky Trevor]

I wasn’t for believing £20m for Tella but looking on transfermarkt at Leverkusens Summer window and only a net spend of €13m it is possibly correct. Alonso has done some good business there.

Yeah that is 100% what happened

Dundee have loan re-signed Owen Beck from Liverpool. Their LB until his recall. I wonder how this will affect Owen Dodgson, who started at the weekend and gave away a poor pen.

the one where clearly he won the ball, staggering by the VAR to give a pen for it, the Dee fans were rightly annoyed by it.
3 mins 25. Shockingly bad decision

Benson now STAYING

[gandhisflipflop]

If I was benson I’d have been seeking assurances of a fair crack at playing time. Let’s hope so.

[daveisaclaret]

Does Kompany not know that Benson shirks out of training continuously?

[claretonthecoast1882]

Give him tomorrows game to prove himself, if he doesn't score 3 or win then move him on

[randomclaret2]

Is Sacha trustworthy now ?

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Does Kompany not know that Benson shirks out of training continuously?

He’s also altering the way we play after taking into account the advice from this boards experts, it will be a rolling low block with an equal rolling high block with Bayer as centre forward & playing a static 1 - 1 -9. Hi subs will be picked from the under 16’s.

When the referee’s whistle blows VK prefers the Mental Block.

New signing in Esteve? Benson staying put for now? What’s not to like if both stories are true?
I really hope Benny gets a fair crack on that right wing assuming he’s fit and ready to go. Sub appearances might well be the way forward with him much like last season.

[ArmchairDetective]

Great news if true re: Benson and Esteve. Don't know much about Esteve at all but can't harm to have another option at the back. I wasn't quite ready for us to part with Manuel Benson yet. Hopefully this is a turning point for him and we see him more around the matchday squad.

UTC!

[Steddyman]

He wasn't wrong though was he? They had bid, and we were open to the offer, but we just didn't agree terms.

I'm glad Benny is staying though and hope he is given a chance to make an impact now.

Some absolutely ludicrous reactions to rumours on here.

Hopefully those people will be back on praising Kompany and the club for doing the right thing if he stays after deadline day tomorrow.

Isnt deadline day Thursday ?

It is, 11.00pm on Thursday 1st February

I'd read midnight... But either way I won't be staying up

When he was being sold it was all Benson kopps out of training and isn't good enough stuff. Now he's staying it's the "right thing" to do. In terms of reactions, the nonsense we've had from some on here trying to justify the clubs position on potentially selling Benson has been by far the biggest issue, way worse than people getting upset he might be sold. Posters falling over themselves to say he's not good enough, doesn't work in training etc, just to justify the clubs position- it's been a disgrace to be honest.

This isn't aimed at you particularly, you may have said the same before this news came out.

I'm just wondering how many who were saying it was the right move to sell him (because thats what the club looked like they were doing), are now going to also say it's the right thing to keep him.

Also just to further add I'm not sure it deserves "praise" keeping him or not. The club was clearly interested In selling him, but they couldn't get the interest for the reported fee by the looks of it. It'll be praiseworthy if Kompany actually uses him and gets somthing decent out of him after giving him barely a kick for 6 months.

I am amazed he’s staying after everything I’ve read on here about how he behaves in training

[StayingDown4Ever]

I am amazed he’s staying after everything I’ve read on here about how he behaves in training

Remind us all again who it was who was saying he wasn’t training properly? I remember reading it but can’t remember who it was.

I did reply to them but my post was deleted for some reason - probably because whoever it was who said it humiliated themself.

That only goes to show how little notice you should take of random bits of "info" on here.
But you know that anyhow.

Literally

Must be close to 99% of 'in the know' stuff on here has turned out to be complete b0llocks.

Don't think we need to go down that route. I don't agree with what he said but it's not a witch hunt. Let's not make this a crappy place for everyone.

[123EasyasBFC]

Has it been established if esteve is perm or loan

[boyyanno]

Has it been established if esteve is perm or loan

Loan with an obligation if certain conditions are met I think.

[Jakubs Tash]

I’m amazed we haven’t even been linked with one right full back. It doesn’t matter who joins or stays, if we have to watch Vitinho at right back for the next 5 months we’ll be down by the end of March.

[Goliath]

Its unbelievable. It's such a glaring weakness in the side, you can't have such a substandard player in this league and get away with it. If we had a good right back i think we could fairly argue that we had a genuine premier league standard first 11. Its incredibly frustrating.

He’s barely been fit for 6 months. Hopefully he is now and he takes the opportunities that will come his way.

i'd have liked a strong defensive midfielder, but you can't always get what you want.

I’d say left back is a tad more glaring given we have several options at rb

And ALL well below the level Charlie Taylor is at left back.

[123EasyasBFC]

So it’s not straight up perm at 10m it’s a loan with option. If it’s only a loan esteve will have to be named in the 25 man squad. If it was perm he wouldn’t need to be due to his age

[Holtyclaret]

The Charlie Taylor that is out for next month or more leaving us with no left back whatsoever?

[Goliath]

At least we have a solid left back, at right back we have no options that are anywhere near the standard required. First things first should be to have players that are good enough in every position, the depth in positions would be nice but surely must be secondary. Delcroix and probably this new guy can fill in at left back, or Roberts/Vitinho when desperate.

We arent giving ourselves a chance if we play Vitinho for the rest of the season.

We have 1 option at left back

2-4 options at right back.

It’s obvious that left back is more of a priority

[Hedontplayforyou]

Taylor is out for a month?

[randomclaret2]

We may have more options at Right Back but in my opinion none of them are Premier League qualty.

[RVclaret]

Vincent loves Vitinho. Can’t see him seeing right back as a priority in this window.
