Returning to the left back position, I see that Reading's Omar Richards (out of contract in the summer) is linked with Bayern Munich. Possibly agent drumming up interest from Prem sides/increasing Reading's wage offer, but he is an exciting player. Very skillful on the ball, lots if tricks and a decent crosser of the ball. He doesn't look lightning fast, which could be an issue when stepping up a level, but I would hope we have scouted him in recent weeks.

Not really noticed him as dont watch much Championship stuff!

How does he compare in styel and ability to KWP as I would assume RH wants a left sided KWP if at all possible, as in high energy, skillfully, good defender and good crosser.

JOURNALIST SAYS SOUTHAMPTON ARE IN DEMARAI GRAY

I wonder what they mean.  Let's hope they're able to get out before the next game.

Brandon Williams is playing at right back for United, so if we did sign him, he'd be cup-tied. (Their fans aren't impressed with his perfomance so far on Twitter)

No Balogun in the Arsenal squad today... 

😉

 

Not ITK, but if it comes off I'd look like one. 😀

He is supposedly About to sign a pre contract agreement with a European club. His agent sounds a bit of a nightmare, Arteta believes the player wants to stay but his agent is pushing him to move.

The last time Demarai Gray moved clubs it was during the January transfer window. That club then ended the season as Premier League champions... 😉

Austin has re-signed for QPR. Gutted we have missed out on that. Could have been a great goal scoring back-up for Ings.

You aren’t being serious are you?  I get we need more options, and that Long isn’t perhaps going to be here much after this season, but Austin was a disruptive force on the dressing room, and wasnt great when he was here, and has gone downhill.

Is it not saying something he has joined a club fighting relegation in a division below, rather than one chasing promotion?

I think we will be looking for additional support, but no way would it be someone like Austin.

Sure I do, but I'm new to this forum having spent 11 years with Not606, and you get to understand people over time, and how they post.

Your post could be taken in a couple of ways, so thanks for pointing that out.

I've only watched Reading twice and to be honest I wasn't concentrating very hard. However, he was actually noticeable in those games because he beat people all ends up and that is something you don't see every day at most levels from fullbacks. He always seemed to want to get forward with the ball and dribbled a lot rather than seeing the ball as a hot potato - lots of confidence.  I just watched a youtube video of a game agains Blackburn and he has a brilliant drag back and in that game he seemed to beat players all the time with his tricks. He certainly likes to dribble it out from the back and  drive into space like KWP does. I am wondering if he is a converted winger. He looks good at that level. He wouldn't get away with as much at our level, but he has the first touch thats for sure. I don't know if he has the defensive capabilities.

Looks like Charlie might've been rumbled by his new manager already?

Daka to west ham, great signing.

I bet he’s better than our last Zambian. If he’s as good as our last purchase from RB Salzburg they will have a real coup.

 

On the Beeb Gossip... Real Betis interested in Dan N’Lundulu.

Thanks for the heads up.  Yeah, I figured so, and aren’t so worried about that. I didnt see it as a shooting down, just getting to know people, who has grace and intellect, and tell them apart from those that, well dont.

Seems it true, Fosu-Mensah looks likely to sign for Leverkusen. Guess we wont be getting Williams. 

Largely probably depends if Utd sign another right-back.

They were linked with Tripper, but his ban would prevent a move, you'd think. Solskjaer seems to rate Williams. Well, at least he has made positive remarks about him recently (maybe to boost his price, maybe to boost his confidence ahead of games in the busy period - and maybe because Tripper move is falling through) , but he clearly hasn't shined early season enough to claim the reserve left back role.

Wan-Bisakka doesn't seem to get injured, meaning the right back cover doesn't get many games, so perhaps there isn't huge pressure to sign a right back right. If signing his depends on United signing a player ,then it is going to come down to the 11 hour.

If Utd were that bothered about loaning out Williams to give him game time then there wouldnt be a huge logic in getting him cup tied.

Can imagine he will get a good few games at Utd considering they have EL as well.

I think he would beef up our midfield:-)

Will his present club give him the boot though?

Very strange as he seems to be another romeau/diallo type holding mf looks quite good but it’s gonna be hard enough to fit diallo into the side at present so seems we are already strong in this area

Feels like one of those signings as a make weight because he is best mates with our real target...

Such a shame Fitz "one size" Hall is no longer with us, Wellington - Fitz hall, would not only make a great goal/assist combo but also a great marketing campaign, i'll get the t-shirt printers ready

Would be an odd signing, unless its a cheap 6 month deal for depth, and Smallbone and Jankewitz will go on loan, but I'd be surprised...

Odd rumour for them to make up though, and even more odd he suddenly fancies following Saints on Instragram, unless he's doing it to get attention...
