Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 If Roberts departs (to Bournemouth or Wednesday)Â the Mendez Laing connection makes sense and I would imagine with a cost saving. If Coulson and Wing also depart then the three of them could all contribute to the Bolasie cost with M-L being a low cost replacement for Roberts and one more likely to be used and trusted. I think Roberts is the better player of the two but it's strange that Daniel Farke came to the same conclusion as Warnock on Roberts. Link to post Share on other sites

I took that to be us chasing Diedhiou hence the talks but I doubt we will know for certain until 11.00 pm tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I don't think I could care less if any player had took drugs, obviously it's an issue if it's a habit but that would be a strong assumption 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Why hold talks with someone you definitely have no intention of signing?  Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 From the Polish press (translated) https://sport.se.pl/pilka-nozna/premier-league/kamil-grosicki-zmieni-klub-przed-euro-2020-wymowne-slowa-gwiazdy-kadry-stanowcza-deklaracja-tylko-u-nas-aa-Jx44-dZXV-fRxn.html "So "Grosik" lost the option to move to Greece, but the question was "What next?" So can he change club on the last day of the transfer window in England? The player himself answered this question. - Nothing is happening and I do not think it will happen - Grosicki himself informed "Super Express"" 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I took it that it was talks between the clubs about Diedhiou It's certainly an odd way of putting it if that's how they're intending it to be read. The way it's written sounds (to me, anyway) like they instigated the talks with us, which would be odd if it's regarding a striker they're not overly keen on selling without a replacement coming in.

CWC 383 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) All gone a bit flat. Hopefully we’ll get something to get excited about later tonight. My guess is 5:00pm. Link to post Share on other sites
