My Rangers supporting friend calls him Tiktok Todd, amongst many other names that I won't repeat on here due to the foul language involved. He is thrilled to have got rid of him. He did look good when at Norwich though, but not sure his talent matches his ego.
Late to the party after being away for a couple of days - we had 2 more outgoings in Trusty and Slimane but brought nobody in. Haven't read our forum yet but I imagine people will be fuming. We lack depth in multiple positions now so will be interesting to see how we get on. IN (10, approx £6.5m + loan fees) Jamie Shackleton (Leeds, free) Harrison Burrows (Peterborough, £3m) Michael Cooper (Plymouth, £2m) Kieffer Moore (Bournemouth, £1.5m) Callum O'Hare (Coventry, free) Sam McCallum (Norwich, free) Tyrese Campbell (Stoke, free) Harry Souttar (Leicester, loan) Alfie Gilchrist (Chelsea, loan) Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Crystal Palace, loan) OUT (17, approx £43.5m) George Baldock (Panathinaikos, free) Max Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday, free) Ben Osborn (Derby County, free) Wes Foderingham (West Ham United, free) Daniel Jebbison (Bournemouth, £1.5m) Oli McBurnie (Las Palmas, free) John Egan (Released) Chris Basham (Released, retired) Oliver Norwood (Stockport County, free) Jordan Amissah (Released) Cameron Archer (Aston Villa, £17m) Will Osula (Newcastle, £10m+) Jayden Bogle (Leeds, £5m?) Benie Traore (FC Basel, £4m) Auston Trusty (Celtic, £6m) Anis Ben Slimane (Norwich City, loan) Sam Curtis (Peterborough, loan)
Hope MJ works well for you. Injuries really hampered his development with us and I think it got in his head too much when he played for us. Looks like he found a new lease of life with you guys on loan though. Wish him all the best.
Came on at half time at Cov and was instantly one of the best players on the pitch. Can only assume his failure at Sheffield United was a manager/system thing. Good in tight areas, bit of steel and physicality and clearly competent playing through the thirds. Shouldm't judge after 45 mins I know but 1.4m might be bargain of the season.
Just seen Luton have signed Victor Moses. Great to see him back in England. Controversial opinion but I still think he's the best natural talent we've produced from our youth system. His personal story is pretty amazing as well.
Aaron Connolly officially signed on a one-year deal. Quite a low risk move for us really. If it works out & he scored a few goals then I’m sure he’d be offered an extension, but if it doesn’t he can be easily moved on. It adds good depth to the strikers anyway.
Looks like we're signing Cheikou Kouyate on a free. Probably means Gruev and Ampadu injuries are fairly serious, so he joins in Tanaka and Rothwell as options in the middle. Assume due to his age and not having a club, he'll take a few weeks to get up to speed.
So we signed Josuha Guilavogui. Seems that Kouyate had some medical issues which meant we didn't want to take the risk. Don't know much about this guy but he just needs to provide adequate cover off the bench a handful of times until Ampadu is back.
Christian Fassnacht confirmed to be going back to Young Boys. Will go through when the Swiss window opens in a couple of weeks.
Ronnie Edwards signed on loan from Southampton today. Quick work to cover Cook being out. Good signing that. Looks like Sheff Wed were in for him as well.
Didn’t even know he was there ! We have had Jebbison from Bournemouth who hasn’t been a success . Good game at Sunderland Stark contrast in quality to ours earlier .
Lewis Gibson - Plymouth to PNE. Undisclosed seven-figure fee. 3.5 year deal. Happy with that. Good age, a leftie, and looks like he has ability on the ball unlike our current lot.
