Linked with Jordan Jones again https://www.footballinsider247.com/english-club-want-to-re-sign-rangers-ace-in-jan-as-6-figure-ibrox-deal-plotted-sources/ It won't go away this one, I really hope it's just a lazy link

Didn't somebody mention Hector from Fulham the other day? If Bauser's in West London he could be talking to him as well.

From twitter: Anton Toloui @SkyAnton #WWFC, as many PL clubs are, looking to trim the squad on #DeadlineDay. Ruben Vinagre expected to complete his loan to Olympiakos, the deal also includes a £22.5m option to buy. Oskar Buur is expected to join FC Volendam on loan. No offers as of yet for Bennett & Miranda.

Coulson doesn't strike me as being clever enough to be a #10. From what we saw last season he just seems like an out and out winger, the head down and get to the byline type.

I wonder if we've totally given up on the signing from abroad or if Warnock's comments were meant to add a bit of pressure. If that's the case and it worked then we should be getting some news/links about it later today.

He does sound confident there but in the Gazette piece he says there's no other deals close https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-citys-patrick-roberts-verge-19044001 And he says that he wants Roberts to play behind the striker (not strikers) in the 3-5-2 formation

https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18768530.patrick-roberts-rejoining-middlesbrough-loan-man-city/ "It will just give us something different. I thought he had some good games for us last season, and I thought he had some mediocre games too. The thing is, he’s not going anywhere else. I think Manchester City have made that clear to him, so once many again, it’s up to me to get the best out of him. He might not start every game, but we’ve got so many games coming up and we only had 18 players today so we are very thin." Christ, it doesn't sound like he was overjoyed at the possibility of coming back 😄

Yeah but he hasn't been anything better than meh at LWB either so hopefully the foreign lad he mentioned is a replacement Bettinelli Dijksteel Fry Hall ?? McNair Morsy Roberts Akpom Tav Britt That's not a bad team and there's plenty of depth with Spence, Coulson, Johnson, Saville, Howson, Wing, Browne, Fletcher for back up. We'd still need a CB though.

didn't warnock play 4-2-3-1 a couple of times last season, with spence, roberts and tav as the 3 behind? he might do that with roberts, tav & akpom or fletch?

If only, it's my favourite formation. I suppose we could do it if we used the AM role as a second striker rather than a traditional #10 and play Akpom or Fletcher there. We'd still need 2 wingers in though. McNair / Saville ------ Morsy / Howson ??? / Tav ------- Akpom / Fletcher -------- ??? / Browne Britt / ???? Can't see it though unfortunately

He can play on the left but he normally plays on the right and cuts in

Didn't one of the ITKers say we scouted him when they played Hartlepool up here in the cup but that we weren't particularly impressed. He'd be cheap cover at WB if we are interested

Should've put money on this...

Just seen a rumour that Sunderland want Nmecha, no idea if it's true or not but it made me laugh 😁

Is EFL Hub reliable for transfer news? "EFL HUB @efl_hub Middlesbrough are closing in on the signing of Burnley defender Ben Gibson."
