Woyo obviously isn't fancied what so ever. How many minutes did he get on pre-season? A handful?

A collision? With what? A fuching Ford Fiesta?

He's a bit of a strange one. Looked like he was going to be something special when he broke through at Raith Rovers when he was 16. Moved to Fulham and disappeared into obscurity. Only just got his career back on track after a decent loan spell at Northampton before moving to Hibs last year. A cautionary tale of moving to England too early.

Mcateer has played well since coming on.

That press really does burst into life at times.

Bilal just doesn't look like a player who wants to leave. I know he probably will but his wee smiley face is giving me dangerous hope.

Absolutely sexual!

He scores when he want!

The pitch looks good.

Youtube....

If this is an indication of next weeks team... we are fuched!

Here is a better question, do you think John Rudkin cares?

Surely this highlights how bad things are within King Power. You would think they would just sponsor us again. Unless, they can't actually afford it..

From what I have read, his work rate and pressing is very good.

Ndidi won't be here by the end of the window and I'm hoping Soumare won't be either.

100% slightly weaken one position but (in theory) greatly strengthen one ore two more.

I can see that argument but I also think we NEED goals from midfield and i think it's fair to demand that from a seasoned pro on good money, but I don't think it's fair to demand it from a 16 year old in his first ever season in men's football. The likes of Louis Page should be given his chance to prove himself but putting the pressure of being reliant on him performing for an entire season is unfair.

24 goal involvements last season. The 22/23 season when they were in the championship it was 17 goal involvements. 19/20 he spent half the season on loan in the CH and got 7. The 2 or 3 seasons before that, he's pretty consistently getting 10. Questions can certainly be asked at a higher level but certainly at THIS level, he gets and creates goals.

We NEED creativity in the middle of that park regardless of those 4 being here or not...

Which is a double edged sword. We were all for it when it meant selling players we didn't really want or need to sell and getting the likes of £80m for Harry Mcguire but it's also a nightmare when we can't shift the likes of Booby Soumare!

17 G/A in 22/23 (last time they were in the Championship before last season) too...

Not only do I think he's a good player at this level but I think he fits the system Marti plays extremely well. He's also a captain so I would assume has some sort of leadership. Ndidi and soumare being replaced with this lad would definitely improve us on the pitch, I just hope we don't risk stability off the pitch to get it, and we all know that, that is a very real possibility.

...and if those outgoings fall through?

I've heard £4m all the way up to £7.5 but you've got to understand what £5m would mean to Motherwell. They simply CAN'T afford to turn that down unless they are absolutely certain someone will beat that offer. £5m and a sell on would get him.

It would take reported just under £10m to secure Richard Kone and Lennon Miller. Both fit our system and see a return to buying young and cheap.
