Wonder if we will be linked with winger from leeds again, Summervile, seem to be linked with him every window
Oh ffs.Don’t. The story is wrong
How do you know it's " wrong" he could been as an option to fill there squad and be back up there for the mean timeDon’t. The story is wrong
Underwhelmed......Dress this up the way you want to ,is the new war cry of the lunatics on here
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.
Feel he offers us a different outlet than roofe will be good to have both on the benchColak for me is just the Itten replacement who will fight with Roofe for 2nd starter. If Alfie is fit he plays. If Alfie is sold then we need to buy another no1 striker, that striker isn’t Colak imo.
Was hoping we would have seen movement by this week in terms of incomings. I’m fairly relaxed right now with the players we have with 1 year left as they aren’t giving the impression they want to leave. Hopefully we can tie them down to new deals.
They are absolutely ahead of us in the trading stakes, but lets not pretend they can just snap their fingers and get cracking money for utter dross at the drop of a hat.
They've got absolute garbage like Barkas, Bolingoli, Julien, Ajeti and Soro hanging around (or on loan in Barkas' case). That's the thick end of £25m in transfer fees and who knows how much in wages on dead wood that can't get close to their first team and they can't shift.
Yup loaned him out from Mar 21 to Jan 22 - so presumably they had other striking options at that time.That would be my take too. They sent him out on loan last year so he’s hardly integral to them.
No one is saying you can't question the transfer business but it's not as simple as blaming the club and DOF.And you think we can repeat it this season with same players? Or next season if 3 major players walk out the door for nothing? What about winning titles? We didn’t manage it with these players last season. (& in case asked i wouldn’t have swapped the Europa run for the title)
Think the point is being lost in terms of long term strategy and planning. Even with the run we had to Seville, even getting money for Patterson & Gerrard et al, there is seemingly no money to strengthen the squad. We cannot continue operating on director loans.
There are deficiencies in the squad which we aren’t addressing & we need improvement. Think there is an assumption that as the players got to Seville they will easily negotiate the Champs league qualifiers. I don’t subscribe to that. We have one striker at the minute in Roofe with Morelos not fit & can’t get the Colak deal concluded.
Not sure why it’s not ok to be questioning our transfer business in this window thus far and our ability to put a long term strategy in place. I am getting increasingly worried & I am not convinced by Wilson. Hope to be proved wrong.
The fact he is more Glen Hoddle than Roy Keane won’t stop him reaching the top.
Stick him in the midfield of a top 6 European club surrounded by quality and he would blossom.
Think if he doesn’t leave he will be better than ever for us this year.
I agree the Colak deal is turning into a farce but I'm reserving judgement on our transfer business fully until the end of the window.I'm all for Colak signing but this is a farce now.
All the revenue we took in last season and were hanging about for weeks to sign a guy on paper that's not exactly screaming must buy.
People can dress this up all they want but there is nothing to suggest this transfer window will be anything other than the shambles the last 3 have been.
I don't know anything about him but he seems to be listed as a winger/midfielder on a few sites...Hopefully true to let people relax a little
McCarthy too. He’ll never be seriously used & will be on a big salary ?
Lundstram??We haven’t signed a bonafide, straight to the first team player, since Aribo.
That’s about 4 years ago now.
Lundstram??
That boy needs his hole.
Didn't go straight in and make an impact. I think he means in that sense.Lundstram??
Hard to believe considering the hype on here.Botheim in talks with Salernitana.
Will he offer more than Itten? Can never be sure but I'm 95% sure he will. So we have improved that part of squad. If he can be a 10/15 goal squad player for us that's something we've lacked from that role.Colak for me is just the Itten replacement who will fight with Roofe for 2nd starter. If Alfie is fit he plays. If Alfie is sold then we need to buy another no1 striker, that striker isn’t Colak imo.

Na na but a lot on here saying that's not true...PAOK are just looking for cover to get them through a match, if the guy that's coming in can offer that, and it seems he can despite it not being his main position, I'd imagine they'll let him go rather than risk us walking away and they're left with an unhappy player.

Utter F*cling Madness.

Utter nonsense.Some people seem to really struggle with football being a squad game.
If he gives more than Itten he could be a player we rely on; a striker that scores can't just be a here and there option. A squad player, as you call him, that gets that amount of goals would have more to offer.Will he offer more than Itten? Can never be sure but I'm 95% sure he will. So we have improved that part of squad. If he can be a 10/15 goal squad player for us that's something we've lacked from that role.
Aberdeen wouldn't Ferguson to Rangers, especially at £2.5 million
I know this is a lot of nonsense but take anything at this rate
I’m not totally against him signing but not at the price.
I know this is a lot of nonsense but take anything at this rate
Is that because we have extremely good footballers in our squad/team?Utter nonsense.
There is clearly players that are signed to play in the first 11 in most of the games. And there is clearly players signed that are not at the same level but are good squad signings.
We have barely signed any players of the higher level for a good while.
I can't actually remember...Did Aribo come in and make an impact straight away?
The Rangers tax is still strong with them, methinks.Aberdeen wouldn't Ferguson to Rangers, especially at £2.5 million
strict requirements that is unfair to hold the board to then.Didn't go straight in and make an impact. I think he means in that sense.
We have a core of quality players, but we need to refresh like any other team. It's the DOF job to sell high and reinvest in the team.Is that because we have extremely good footballers in our squad/team?
How easy is it to upgrade, really?
Should've left it there.
I know this is a lot of nonsense but take anything at this rate
Ha haI can't actually remember...
I know that.Ok fair enough
Eventually there will be changes in who owns our club
The people I mentioned are all ready got shares and place on board
I know it’s probably nonsense but would be delighted with that
I know this is a lot of nonsense but take anything at this rate

I understand that. Just asking how easy it is to upgrade?We have a core of quality players, but we need to refresh like any other team. It's the DOF job to sell high and reinvest in the team.
Hope he’s as good as his dad, Dave.Narey isn’t a striker so may not be his replacement.
Think he done alright though cause I remember getting into it with Charlton fans and winding them up!Ha ha
A lot has happened since then.
I don’t always understand the rush for signings before qualifiers, it’s rare they make a massive immediate impact
Not our problem how good or bad he is. As above, hope he does mean Colak is available now, despite it not being his position.So PAOK are signing a winger, Khaled Narey, to replace a striker?
Remember him with HSV. Average at best.
I know it’s probably nonsense but would be delighted with that
