From the Ted Knutsen Transfer Flow mailer...
Still think this is a very probably loan option for us (at the last minute to mitigate costs) and he'd be a great acquisition.
Elliott would play off the right - he showed at the U21 Euros that's his position, but he's slightly hamstrung at the RS due to Salah being guaranteed that spot.
Dislike the kid, but he's a great player.
I dont actually dislike him he's just a red and acts like one. I imagine a good few former greats if ours would be similarly disliked if they grew up in this social media age
Just on Kubo travelling with Sociedad to Japan.. appears there might be something called a ‘key player clause’…this snippet on Tottenhams Son was interesting:
Tottenham would miss out on as much as 75% of their fee for playing in Seoul if Son is...
Well, he is talking about what they have spent this window and asking how we can compete, I explained that we cannot in one window and that it is a rebuild
Neither Mcatee or Elliot are slow players, think there's this obsession with must have blinding pace in the squad. It's not needed as long as you have decent pace throughout and nobody whose super slow like a McNeil, young, Keane etc.
On the...
Mate it's one of those Chinese whispers things.
I said it all the way back then, he never won any major award in Russia whatsoever, he won a player of the month award for Loko and that's it, he never even won the clubs player of the season...
Yeah that's more what I'm suggesting, I do t think he will make it here so may as well try get him more profile with a loan to a more open league.
If he massively improves great, if he just puts up decent numbers without ironing out the flaws...
Only 1 Championship loan. I more just meant if he's not breaking through here this year I don't think he will. Obviously players can develop at different rates etc I get that but if he didn't make the grade at Villa and hadn't made it in 2 years...
