Signed? Or bought? You forget Lundstram? Even then, Aribo was out of contract - just like Lundstram.We haven’t signed a bonafide, straight to the first team player, since Aribo.
That’s about 4 years ago now.
Glad we never waited. Could have had him in at least a day ago..
Was that not yesterday mate .
Date and time on it seems like today.Was that not yesterday mate .
It’s yesterdays quotes aye.Was that not yesterday mate .
Some laugh ehKhaled Narey is a right side midfielder according to transfermarkt
Narey isn’t a striker so may not be his replacement.

Fair enough could have sworn I read it yesterday.Date and time on it seems like today.
His biggest problem is, Kent.Could be a player with a wee bit more coaching imho . His stats last season are good and if he gets settled he,ll definitely improve, he’s lightning quick too . I’d give him a chance mate .
Today is the 3rd of July mate. Read the date on it lol.Was that not yesterday mate .
Khaled Narey is a right sided midfielder according to transfermarkt, not sure how that is a Colak replacement
It's being quoted from yesterday mate.Today is the 3rd of July mate. Read the date on it lol.
I think it more likely that PAOK want to appease their fans by not letting Colak go without a corresponding announcement about someone coming in, even if he isn't a direct replacement.
Either or, the latest from PAOK is they still don't have a big enough squad.It's being quoted from yesterday mate.
The lordeth giveth and the lord taketh away.
That would be my take too. They sent him out on loan last year so he’s hardly integral to them.I think it more likely that PAOK want to appease their fans by not letting Colak go without a corresponding announcement about someone coming in, even if he isn't a direct replacement.
His failure to attract any interest in players is also a big concern for me. I don’t know whether it is because he is seen as hard to deal with, or we overvalue players, but he should at the very least be able to garner interest in our better players.Dress it up how you like but this transfer window is becoming a real worry. We have 3 first 11 starters and key men out of contract in 12months, we appear to have no sort of budget in which to buy new players and have taken to resigning our aged players instead of refreshing the squad.
The Kent, Aribo & Morelos situations need addressed. They either sign new deals or they leave. The worry is the longer it goes on in this window the less likely it will be that we are able to bring in new players & the less likely we will receive bids that meet our valuation.
We have a major hurdle in terms of Champs League qualification looming and you would have thought we’d want business done early to help in that.
The capabilities of Ross Wilson are seriously in question for me now. He has major players and sellable assets with diminishing value who could walk for free in 12months, he is unable presumably to get them to sign new deals &/or is unable to sell for acceptable fees. We cannot operate a player trading model in those circumstances. He may be ‘comfortable’ with the situation but it worries me.
This transfer window is feeling a lot like last summer. We are in danger of standing still.
Time will tell.Either or, the latest from PAOK is they still don't have a big enough squad.
Narey isn't a striker either. This one's no further forward at all.
Hopefully mate, but I don't like our window hinging on PAOK.Time will tell.
It's fucking fundamental to a football club to have a player trading model if they don't have access to big funds in other ways i.e TV deals etc
It does have to be so binary, we need a model that works and gets talent out at the right time to maximize profits.
Otherwise, we miss out on Europe once? and the whole thing comes crashing down. We need to be self sustaining.
It's that bloody simple.
Me neither the whole thing has been a bit shambolic,to be fair.Hopefully mate, but I don't like our window hinging on PAOK.
Whatever it needs to be, we still need a player trading model, the foundations of that need to be implemented. At the moment don't have one whatsoever.Mate, saying getting talent out at the right time proves that it isn’t binary. People are saying to sell every player once he hits 26. Clearly he might not be at his best at 26. It might come sooner or later; contract extensions, coefficient points, League seedlings and CL access, competition in the squad, money in the market, global pandemics, state of competition, form, form of similar players, competition in the market….it’s endless. “Sell everyone by 26” and similar parameters are too binary for a model. It needs to be fluid and flexible.
Huge fan of the 3 of them but they either need to shit or get off the potWe now have posters actively suggesting that we should allow Aribo, Kent & Alfie to run down their contracts & leave for nothing. Wow.
We have went over ad nauseam the reason why the organisation from the east end have been more succesful at moving/selling players on.His failure to attract any interest in players is also a big concern for me. I don’t know whether it is because he is seen as hard to deal with, or we overvalue players, but he should at the very least be able to garner interest in our better players.
I hate to compare us to Celtic but they seem to have no issue in the main moving on both unwanted as well as their better players, whereas as we seem to be, from what I can see, a complete shambles.
That would be my take too. They sent him out onloan last year so he’s hardly integral to them.
Utter F*cling Madness.We now have posters actively suggesting that we should allow Aribo, Kent & Alfie to run down their contracts & leave for nothing. Wow.
Ignore them. Club if they have to will find a buyer for anyone seen to be looking to run it down.We now have posters actively suggesting that we should allow Aribo, Kent & Alfie to run down their contracts & leave for nothing. Wow.
From looking at their squad, they have seven strikers they could call in to cover.That's the head scratcher for me too mate.
I'm not buying the light squad stuff.
I've never seen another team collectively want to hoard players the way some of our fans do.We now have posters actively suggesting that we should allow Aribo, Kent & Alfie to run down their contracts & leave for nothing. Wow.
The fact he is more Glen Hoddle than Roy Keane won’t stop him reaching the top.If there is a release fee clause and it is £10m then we'll get £10m. If it is £10m plus a % sell on fee then we'll get £10m plus the %sell on fee. The fee would be non-negotiable, why would any buying club pay any more than required?
Aribo is a player of unbelievable skill but way too often leaves me feeling he could do more, work a wee bit harder. IMHO his laid back nature is what will stop him reaching the very top.

I could be totally wrong in this, I’m really not sure. But if there is a £10m release, I think the buying club would need to give us it all upfront to activate it? Or else what’s stopping a club offering £0.5m a year over the next 20 years for example which is technically offering £10m.If there is a release fee clause and it is £10m then we'll get £10m. If it is £10m plus a % sell on fee then we'll get £10m plus the %sell on fee. The fee would be non-negotiable, why would any buying club pay any more than required?

.......And breathe, slightly.
Don’t. The story is wrong.......And breathe, slightly.
Strikes a mean toe punt does Narey.
