Be interesting to see what positions/formation they play.

LongsideClaret

Same guy who has told me a few things has a family member at the club, said that he hasn’t travelled up yet and didn’t know if he still was or not, not really much to go off, I’ve got a feeling with the article in the sun regarding the academy guy that the next few days the club will be very carefu...

That is a brilliant announcement video. You’ve got to smile at the potential scene where the media team created that video. In a locked, sound proof room at the training ground, they sit recording the vocals to the “Hannibal” line for the welcome video whilst the the faint noise of carnage and flame...

LongsideClaret

Last update I had is that Hannibal and Anthony were done and just waiting on announcement. Sarmiento due in today for medical but not heard if he’s travelled yet today.

Parker hasn’t walked out.

LongsideClaret

The rumour has come from a post on here a few hours ago from an account created tonight Parker has known of Fosters desire to leave for a while and known about his refusal to train since yesterday so I doubt he’s waited until tonight when a deal has been reported by a journalist to decide to walk.

What you reckon LC
Trafford
McNally
Amdouni
Tresor
Koleosho
Weghorst

All out the door, then potentially
Vitinho
Brownhill
Foster

I’d probably swap Trafford and Foster in those lists and that’s about where it is currently.

And another one gone. If he didn't want to stay then sod off. Trouble is, no news on the three players supposedly having medicals.

Sounds like it’s gunna take an awful lot more than 3.

LongsideClaret

You have a lot of questions on the thread and to add another - do you have a sense what the general mood is like in the squad? Surely players and management cannot be happy with all this disruption. Not privy to that at all but I imagine this isn’t what Parker signed up for. Player reaction from Br...

Makes it even more infuriating that other clubs can play players with imminent moves yet we can not.

By weekend you’ll see that some of Saturdays starting XI played for us before leaving. Amdouni also played but could potentially go.

What's the point in a medical if he's still playing for another team though? Doesn't make sense.

Original planned medical yesterday was changed.

Sarmiento has posted a game day post for Brighton vs Crawley on his insta story. Hope this isn’t a sign it’s fallen through.

He will be playing for them tonight. Deal still on.

LongsideClaret

Amdouni likely to get his move do you think Longside? Only deal I’ve seen discussed so far is a loan with an option. Very tough sell to the fans if we let him go like that as it’s a huge loss to us for little immediate financial gain. We’re Yet to sell a player for less than fair value and for the ...

LongsideClaret

What’s your gut feeling about benson? Tough to say, doesn’t sound like he missed the game on Saturday because a move was imminent. So whether he just didn’t want to be considered atm or if it was Parker’s choice who knows. Leeds seem to have gone cold on him and I haven’t heard any other links, but...

Any news for tomorrow pal? Ins or outs?

Nothing “new”. I expect Hannibal, Sarmiento and Anthony to be announced before we next play.

Those outgoings discussed for a while like AAD could be confirmed at any point.

LongsideClaret

Bit late to log back in but 1/2 isn’t a bad guess (wasn’t trying to be cryptic - I’d had a moan about Sarmiento and Anthony last week so assumed it was obvious). Don’t think Johnston has ever been a target but if I’m honest, at the reported fees, I’d much prefer him to either. Hannibal a good signi...

MEN reporting Hannibal is a permanent deal, not loan to buy.

https://x.com/stevenrailston/status/182 ... 61529?s=46

Had this confirmed, payment structure will be similar to a loan with obligation in terms of next to nothing being due immediately then £4m due next year.

So Hannibal and Anthony are initially loans? It doesn’t really disprove the theory that we’re selling everyone coz we’re up **** creek.

Think all 3 will be loans. Albeit Hannibal will have an obligation regardless of division.

Alex crook saying Anthony is a loan and then 10m if we get promoted, now I like Anthony but I think 10m is an extremely high fee

It’s an obligation on promotion, an option that would likely not be exercised if we stayed down.

LongsideClaret

Not that he's priceless, he's still going to be worth that or more in 12 months. We don't need to sell everyone for a quick profit. In fairness I think even with a very good championship season he wouldn’t be worth miles north of that if we didn’t get promoted. Benson to Leeds looks like it won’t b...

We should be signing 2 wingers IN ADDITION to keeping Koleosho. Shambles.

I agree.

Fee likely somewhere between the Berge and Odobert numbers. We’ve rejected the offers so far but they may come in again.

LongsideClaret

Hannibal one of the ones today. Two wingers as well. Sounds like our main winger may be on the way out.

LongsideClaret

Believe we’ve got multiple medicals booked over the next 24/48 hours. No names yet.

LongsideClaret

That’s a real shame. Worrall replacing him? Or someone else? I’m not as worried as I would have been had Clarke been playing though. Absolutely outrageous if he goes for less than Greaves who was £15m + £3.5m. Won’t be any other centre halves coming in unless Esteve goes, which won’t be happening u...

LongsideClaret

O’Shea won’t be playing tomorrow, Ipswich move getting nearer. Had been waiting for Brentford but they went elsewhere.

£15m +£2m

It wouldn't surprise me if Trafford starts tomorrow. I think we either need to sell or give him a full season.

I expect him to start tomorrow but probably still 50:50 whether he ends up at Newcastle before the window closes.

But I think that’s probably us done on the defender incoming front.

Not sure why he’d travel to London… but Celtic sources saying Mikey Johnston having a medical with us today:

Believe that’s premature.

LongsideClaret

1) we will not generate enough cash to pay of the debt 2)ALK/VSL have no interest in paying off the debt - we could have pursued that strategy last season if we had wanted to - instead we more than doubled it, possibly even came close to trebling it Agreed, using other people’s money (debt) to buy ...

As always it will come to cash flow and debt obligations Sales revenue does not equal book profit and much less in regards to immediate incoming cash, a portion of which we will be obliged to pay out immediately on outstand fee payments and sell on obligations for the outgoing players we purchased ...

LongsideClaret

So that’s Berge, Gudmundsson, Zaroury, and Al-Dakhil who all appear to be leaving imminently and then O’Shea, Benson and Weghorst who can’t be too far behind that. I have to say, if the incomings are going to priced similarly to Humphreys, we might have been better hanging on to a few of those. Can...

Surely worrall only comes in if O'Shea leaves?

Yes but that’s now a case of where he goes rather than if he goes. My hunch is that he’s played his last game for us, whether a deal is finalised before the weekend or not.

LongsideClaret

Spot on with your news again mate, Any movement on the incomings Nothing imminent on the midfield/winger/attacking front but a number of players spinning with the known targets. Not sure whether the Worrall news of the medical is true but I know he was looking round the training ground on Monday.

LongsideClaret

Zaroury to Lens confirmed by Sacha. €9m plus 20%.

Was told earlier in the week he’d been gone imminently.

LongsideClaret

Ahh well I think the size of our squad will probably put the player off, more chance of game time at sheff and Leeds with their lack of wingers Both chasing the same players at the minute. Sarmiento and Jaidon Anthony. Leeds also most likely destination for Benson right now too, although he will pr...

Trafford not a cert. In fact none are a cert as anything can happen but I’d say the rest of the names in that list are more likely to go than stay.

LongsideClaret

Anything re: Benson? Almost certainly leaving and heard Leeds were in strong a couple of weeks ago. £7-£10m range. Would think we would have a reluctance to sell to them though. Not heard the other two clubs that Sacha mentions but I question their desire to spend so much on a 27 year old. Not real...

Hopefully the other is Delcroix and we keep Beyer and when Beyer is back to full fitness he can take his place next to Esteve

Not heard anything about Delcroix, and from what I hear Beyer is a million miles way from being fit.

LongsideClaret

I expect Worrall and Humphreys to come in at CB. Dara, McNally and another to go out.

LongsideClaret

Sounds like 3 players left the training ground for the last time today, Berge, JBG and another. Off to Germany, not featured this season yet, good fee and a tidy profit.

I can now see why Kompany went nuts at JBG.
Seems like another Jelle Vossen where he has used the club to get a move. There is no way this just sprung up overnight.
JBG could have become a club legend this season, but he leaves as a pathetic weasel.

Christ almighty…

The JBG re-signing was only ever done because of his chance meeting with Pace at the airport this summer. Doubling his wages to go to Saudi.
