I very much like the sound of this.

If that's genuinely the case, I'd prefer we bin off the opportunity to sign him and focus on someone who a) wants to be here and b) isn't going to screw us around until which point we're praying that we get someone through the door to cover CDM.

It's exactly what he did in the summer.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

The excellent article shared by @YellowinBirmingham highlights why this exact scenario can be so difficult.

The kind of posts you, @Bicester Yellow and one or two others take such delight in making at this time of year seem to be designed for the sole purpose of trying to get as many people as possible to get their pitch forks and light their torches.

You ignore the myriad moving parts behind any transfer, pretend it's all easy, and then feign disbelief and claim mismanagement when it's quiet for a few days.

That's lazy.

f**k me I hope you’ve got some tissues as sounds like a simple opinion has upset you.

Great career move join the 25th best league in the world and not stay in the 6th

I really don't know why people are so hung up on Matos.
He'd be a useful signing, sure, given what we currently have, but he's really not THAT good, he's one of those players who will probably never have a best position, and I'd like to think we're targeting better...

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Bit simplistic - AIK get average crowds of 30k and they’re playing in Europe this season. It certainly wouldn’t be a bad career move.

Disagree it's the standard of football he won't grow as a footballer there but could in this country. Hell either turn into a journeyman or end up in L1 or 2

The standard of football is variable but decent, especially at the top end (top end Swedish teams are probably equivalent to lower Premier League or top end of Champ). And he'll be playing every week I'd imagine, if he went there.

 

[Bornyellow]

Brentford are one of a few premier league teams who have a track record for picking up younger players for relatively cheap who develop into first team players pretty quickly. They paid €4.5 for him not long ago that might not be much to them but they obviously see something in him and their track record suggests they don’t get much wrong. It may be a first loan but I like the sound of this one.

Also it could be nonsense, that’s not to discredit the person who first mentioned it. There are a lot worse clubs to have a good relationship with then then Brentford though.

He's definitely one of those who seems to have got better with every game he hasn't played this season!

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

What a city to come from!

‘Simple’.
The irony.

Bet your dad wishes you'd ended up in a tissue.

Blimey, a Bicester rumble brewing... Only one way this ends, rumble at the back of The Penny...

It’s annoying they’ve got such similar usernames because I can’t remember which one I’m supposed to root for

 

[werthersoriginal]

You mean that one’s a dick and one’s quite normal?

The one from Bicester.

 

[Mad Dog]

A pretty accurate ratio for the whole of Bicester I'd say!

 

[londonyellow]

You're a generous man

 

[Jaboysmith]

Surely not 2 midfielders!

This would be a proper signing, proven to be a top L1 player already and I don’t think would count towards our squad cap for this season.

Would also mark a clear statement about moving back to our previously very successful model of signing younger up and coming players.

 

[ECYellow]

Maybe McDonnell?

Nixon reporting it

Northern Irish isn't he? Are we collecting them?

 

[southcoastyellow]

I think two would be good if we can have 5 CM in the squad, especially if we play 4-3-3

 

[Jaboysmith]

Would be a real statement. Don’t think the fee would be that small either, and he’s from Tigers list. 6 foot tall. Surely not everyone will be happy on here!?

 

[londonyellow]

That does seem to be our current transfer strategy

 

[Stanford yellow]

All bar one will be happy

 

[n1]

Is the aim to acquire the entire Northern Ireland national team?! We could have Brown, Spencer, Donley, McNair, and Mcdonnell by the end of the window!

 

[Symp59]

Sounds good 2 youngsters in ,keep Vaulks just in case

 

[Symp59]

Oxford Mcunited

All part of the plan.

If we don’t get the Triangle sorted in time, it means we can ground-share at Windsor Park.

Whos the second one?
