I think he's suggesting he's stil hanging around down there to sort things our and not come back because of the problems with his medical as some have speculated which makes it look like everyone still expects the transfer to be completed. Not AWOL. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Reece Oxford is apparently ready to move to VVV Venlo in Holland despite moving to AUgsburg from West Ham in the summer. Has featured in 8 Bundesliga games. Can't help but think it's a player we could take a punt on. Only 21 and I can't imagine he'll be expensive. Maybe a loan with buy option in the summer. Already has 23 bundesliga matches in total and 8 Premier League games. But maybe he enjoys being on the continent. Link to post Share on other sites

We sold what £12-15m and bought in £4m worth of players the squad was never going to get better I think most realised that by the predictions of midtable. I think people expected midtable this year then push on next year when those 3 signings had come to terms with moving up to a more difficult level. In reality only on e of those 3 may make it and he looks like a pound shop Djed Spence at the moment, so might have to move to CDM Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The past few weeks have erased the parity I guess but in the months before December there really wasn't much difference between Bola and Coulson in terms of being an effective LB. One ran down alleyways and Bola just looked nervous to run at all most of the time but when Bola got forward he has good technique something I haven't seen from Dijksteel yet. Jury's out on all 3 of them for differing reasons but I think they all do have something about them they just seem not ready for the level somehow, I don't think they're writeoffs like say a Damia was.

I often suggest players from the Danish league that I think can make the step up. As an example about a year ago I suggested we should buy Mustapha Bundu. A very raw right winger but with potential. Could probably have gotten him for less than 1 million. Fast forward a year and he is the gem of the Danish league with a huge 2019 under his belt. He's tearing up league like a cheap Adama Traore and is most of the time surrounded by 2-3 defenders. He could easily be a great asset in the Championship. I've also suggested we take a look at Aleksandr Jovanovic for goal as he'd be very cheap as Almeria want rid after getting relegated. He was previously one of the better keepers in the Danish league. I'm sorry for suggesting players outside of England. Mustapha Amini is another fan favourite. Out of contract in the summer. Brilliant central midfielder. 26 year old Aussie and he'd like to move to another league. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,039 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 won't believe we are in an Emerson situation with Randolph until I see pictures of him on a beach in Sligo...but if it turns out like that it would be Offaly bad cos he has been a corker during his time here Link to post Share on other sites

RichAcklam2404 928 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I've had heard from a source that Villa had lodged a loan bid for Britt, all wages covered and £1.2m loan fee (no obligation to buy) safely say that we turned that down immediately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yep totally agree; I think if they add an obligation to buy of anything 8m upwards we'll snap their hands off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
