Saint Scott

The echo, telegraph and talksport all seem confident a season long loan is close. Stephens, Bednarek, THB and Holgate is great strength in depth with Charles able to drop in too if needed

Highly likely it's a chancer that's got lucky. Alex crook also tweeting about it too so I guess that's doomed. Back to Wood

To be fair to him he tweeted that 7 hours ago...

Do we need an option? I thought he only had 12 months left on his deal?

The athletic had already reported Che's new contact included the vice captaincy. So I guess if he is still here come Saturday it will be him but Martin keeping his cards close to his chest if he does move on

Looks like they're looking down the loan route. If he isn't interested in playing for us in the Championship then we may as well get his wages off the books for the season.

No concrete links to a particular club but the Athletic reporting this morning that he is about to leave with Stewart lined up to replace him. There are a few more links to Stewart coming in

I really hope this isn't a replacement for Che, the last thing we need is to take a punt on an injured player returning to previous form. September we have some crucial fixtures against teams we'd expect to be around us come the end of the season. I live in hope Mara/Onuachu are off and this is a replacement for one/both of them

Sky Sports are reporting that Celtic are close to signing a CM. O'Riley on his way for a medical tomorrow?

Is Saudi/Qatar out west?

👀 You were saying?

If we can keep them both and put ourselves in a good position come January i imagine they'll both be off. Replacing them may be an issue though to see the job through

I though he had just come back from injury and isn't fit enough yet? It may prove to be a blessing as if he was tearing up the league now somebody would have already snapped him up. That being said I still think he'll leave, most likely on loan on Deadline Day

Are you sure?

Paintsil back on?

No, it was the return of Guan

Martin has mentioned a few times himself and Che are catching up multiple times a day to discuss updates. If we get to deadline day Che will be aware that he won't be able to leave unless a replacement is lined up. Wilcox and Martin aren't stupid.

He said he can play both CB and RB but they both made it clear his main role will be CB especially now with the injury to Stephens
