Bit worrying that nothing official has been declared since his medical was scheduled for this morning. Has he had a change of mind or have we been gazumped by another club?

Let the bidding war commence - any advance on 20 million Euros!

Like a lot of lightening quick players all he really has is pace and that is of little use without a football brain to go with it. He has shown no sign that he'll be anything other than a speed merchant.

BBD gets some headed goals and is not bad in the air.

Presume we'll see him on the bench tomorrow and he'll get a run-out in the second half when we're comfortably ahead 🙂

Did we get them signed up and registered before 12.00 meaning they can be in the squad tomorrow? As nothing's been heard I'm guessing no.

Not bad!

Did the CoT predict Ugochukwu?

If he comes let's just call him Ugo. Or,if we do use his full name there must be a possible adaptation of Agadoo to give him his own song 🙂

Well more of a cursory glance to see if they have all their limbs and making sure the player has a pulse judging by some who have slipped though the net.

I'd like to see Ugoghukwu pay alongside Downes to make our midfield stronger and more physical. We need maximum protection for the defence. The Chelsea lad looks very decent on the ball as well as his obvious ability to break up play. Don't see what we gain by playing one or the other. We need two good defensive dms and an attacking one.

Wow! Yes please. Big, powerful, athletic and quick. This guy looks just what we need in midfield and could make a huge difference. Loves a tackle and won't get bullied due to his physique. Carries the ball well and looks to relish a battle which he'll get playing for us. Hope we get this over the line because we haven't had this type of player since maybe Wanyama. Get it done Saints. Exciting news at last.

Lavia?

No, he wasted his talent by deciding he wasn't going to bother to play for us.

Would be great but I'd be amazed if we keep a clean sheet in this game.

As you say it depends on whether Dragan is willing to fund transfers. Having had his fingers badly burned and being aware of how badly those at the clubs conduct transfers I suspect he'd prefer to keep his hard earned jn his pocket and who could blame him.

Hope it's not us. Would be underwhelmed if we sign him.

If you don't add players like Skipp to your midfield you get bullied out of games and are weak - we need someone like him to play alongside Downes. We have too many lightweights who get brushed off the ball and rarely win it back.

Yeah, high time it was dropped.

Not impressed. If you cloned a player from Djenepo and Redmond this is what you'd get.

Only a couple!

With our budget we are not going to get the complete attacking midfielder.

We were linked with Codi Gapko but we didn't get him.

Are we getting a new striker then? First I've heard. We need one but we've been saying that for what seems like eternity.

Yeah, even if we wanted him it would be difficult to strike a deal with Burnley after the Nathan Tella saga 🙂
