Are there any ITK sources?

Why is everyone in a tiz then?

Silly question but what ITK source says he’s coming here?

Was the West Ham guy, @ExWHUemployee

Ah s**t 😢

I don't like to write signings off before they come here but frankly...absolutely not. I could get the rationale for Bertrand and even Vesty but this guy? He's painfully ordinary in a team circling the relegation drain. 

[SheppyFox]

I don’t want Rodgers to spend any money.

If we keep this up, we will eventually get to Hassenhutl and you might be happier with that.  

I thought his retirement was imminent? 😁

I think even Hasselhoff would be better at organising set peices 😍🤣

Would we get a new Kit?

What I don’t get is what the premise is, irrespective of his not being that good.  He’s a right-footed left-sided winger or MF - who is he replacing, exactly?  If there’s any position you’d think we wouldn’t need to do dump resources on it’s that one.

I'm struggling to work it out. If we want a right-footed LW, Lookman is better, cheaper, younger and is already settled here.

 

Just hoping this is his agent trying to get him a better deal at Soton.

We were linked a year ago too. His stats look great if you exclude this time at Soton ... so I'd avoid given that he's evidently struggled at this level, we might aswell take a chance on a cheaper up and coming player from a foreign League.

I'm struggling too. BR wants a leaner smaller squad this year and you don't create a decent team with signings like that. If we had 50-60 games next year then I could get the logic but I'd still be against it.

Quality player. Yannick to show him the hot tub and sauna. 

And his very own bench.....

[TommyK]

Not good enough and completely against our buy young sell high transfer policy. 

 

[AS78UK]

In Brendan we trust 

[ronnup]

The epitome of underwhelming

🤮🤮

“Refresh the squad” - we’ll have the freshest squad in the championship if this is evidence of our transfer policy and ambitions

People really need to chill the **** out and stop overthinking every nonsense rumour.

I agree.  Although ex-West Ham employee tweeted it - it’s load of rubbish IMO

If he arrives for a medical maybe people should start asking questions but this hatred for the manager and his signings that haven’t happened is making posters look very daft.

[MalletFox]

Here’s a question for ya’s, and it’s a genuine one. Is this guy better (or got potential to be better) than Perez?

 

Is this a potential squad filler signing with some old wood being replaced by new wood. This chap presumably isn’t going to be a starter but May being looked as an upgrade on Perez (who maybe we’re moving on).

 

For the record, this potential signing hasn’t got me jumping around, but trying to apply some context and logic (if I can).

The best way to improve your team and subsequently your squad, is buy buying first team ready players, to replace a current first teamer, which in turn, improves the bench.  Bringing in players that are just going to fill the squad out but not improve the first team will at best see us stand still, and at worst, in the longer term, see us turn into Stoke, who got complacent and felt like they were comfortable in the Premier league, and that didn't end well for them. You can not stand still in this league, you have to continually improve, otherwise you slowly drift backwards, and end up back in the championship. Last summers transfers window was a really poor one, with only Daka, who still has the jury out on how he's going to turn out, even a half decent purchase. The emergence of KDH though, was a big plus. We really need to be getting our recruitment right this summer, to offset the poor one we had last summer.
