davefizzy14 Posted 30 August, 2023 Share Posted 30 August, 2023 Perhaps the medical that was booked for today was for Harwood-Bellis. Hopefully Paintsil deal can get done tomorrow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judgement to be made as to if he can match the Tella role. On the deal front, does anyone know what the actual deal is? Straight swap or is there any money involved. Pro tip: there is 'always' money involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a lot of effort if we does not significantly improve us! Have not seen him play. I can only go off stats that I am aware don't tell the whole story but he's a pacy winger, with 11 assists AND 14 goals from his last 30 game full season(22/23). Already has 2 assists in 4 games this season. Sure, it's the Belgian league so take it as you see it but they're not horrible stats and I'm interested to see what he brings. 5 foot 7 inches so another small player mind meaning we'll continue to be horrible from set pieces.

Hopper Posted 30 August, 2023 Share Posted 30 August, 2023 Feeling a lot more positive on the rumoured incomings and outgoings. We seem to have done some really shrewd business in this window that gives us a good platform for promotion and the flex to continue the rebuild if we fail this season. Loan deals at this point seem like a win-win in both directions especially if they come with an option. Excited to see things develop over the next couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May turn out to be a good player but terms like 'prepared to get on a plane' hardly sound like the description of someone who's particularly enthiusiastic.

For all we know (and I would bet) he has been extremely keen to join us. Obviously his agent will be working to get him the best deal possible from current and new club. His current club will be trying to get the best deal for themselves. He may have already done his medical today, never mind him being prepared to get on a plane...

I can understand why people are a little down on this one given we've been burnt by Tall Paul but I think this is one we can just be optimistic on/ wait and see. Play the man, not the history.... Or something. I fully understand he could be utter dross.
