Dr. Kucho Posted 31 August, 2023 Share Posted 31 August, 2023 15 minutes ago, Winchester Red said: Seems like a very similar saga to Quincy Promes. He is now he isn't now he is...... That ended well. Some Russian club and then fell foul of the law. Did he even end up in prison? I'm not even sure we're in for this Genk guy, probably just his agent using us and Leeds being the obvious candidates. RM did say some rumours were well wide of the mark. If we are it's just a route to get rid of Tall Paul. He’s been convicted of stabbing a family member at a party a few years back, believe he’s been sentenced to 1,5 years in prison for that. At the time of the stabbing the police already suspected him of drug trafficking and that investigation is still ongoing. As long as he doesn’t leave Russia he’s can move freely. Once he travels to another country he could be arrested and sent to the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted 31 August, 2023 Share Posted 31 August, 2023 FWIW I don’t think Paintsil will happen . I’m not so certain we have paid Genk all the Onuacho fee. Think of the implications vis the Paintsil proposed fee. It also seems they don’t want him back (maybe neither does he which would be understandable). MANY of the current squad players have the speed & skills to develop into a Nathan Tella and frankly most have already got more potential than he had 2-3 years ago when NT was knocking on the first team squad door. Paintsil in to “replace NT” is a red herring for me. Get another goalscorer in - which is what NT was last year at Burnley - is what Russell really means. And what we really need - Not necessarily yet another fast small tricky winger type attacker. Of which we are blessed with quite a few already… That’s why I can see at least ONE recognisable goalscorer coming in (to replace NT) and TWO if Che leaves. And they don’t have to be called Paintsil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, he shouldn't be the Che replacement, so if Che goes, we should bring in someone else as well. The Macedonian lad from Aberdeen probably my choice at this stage. If Che goes then yes and yes for the Aberdeen striker - my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take on it. So, if for example, we've paid half the Onuachu fee, and they want him back at half price, then they essentially want him back for free! They'd then want the fee for Paintsil, so not actually a swap at all. On the rest if it, like you, I'm not overly concerned by Tella leaving.

Suhari Posted 31 August, 2023 Share Posted 31 August, 2023 Maybe it's all media hype, but this saga is really making Pantshit look a bit, um, pants. Interesting to see if he does move somewhere before it all SLAMS shut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think the Birmingham FC connection may put Wolves off? The rivalry between teams is fairly fierce in the Midlands and I am not sure if many players successfully transition between the big clubs.
