Given the great form of Veltman, and the very welcome return of Pervis Estupinan, is Ferdi currently a midfielder for us? When we can get him fit anyway?

Look how miserable he appears. You can tell it's because he wants to be here. But Fenerbahce are clearly holding him against his will. It's akin to modern slavery and if this continues for any length of time, Amnesty International need to get involved. Free Ferdi!!

But we're not playing with wing backs It's possible that we might start to do this, particularly if we get a left centre back, but I would suggest it's unlikely given the number of forward players and midfielders we have not playing anyway There are 3 or 4 examples that have been mentioned of...

Good clip this. Ferdi has excellent English! It's looking more like the Ferdi speculation and the Barco possible exit are independent of each other

Not really as I don’t know enough about the player. I just think there are very very few examples in football history of full backs preferring to play on the side where their weaker foot is. So if every football manager (apart from Mickey Adams and I’m sure I could come up with a few more, if...

Yeh, I think maybe Phillip Lahm as well played on his weaker foot side most of his career Let's just say that it's rare though

Of course not terrible. A better example might have been Adingra. Prefers the left, but someone ahead of him, so has largely been shunted somewhere else due to circumstance. Now Simon clearly isn't terrible on the right. His appearance record suggests he's a good right winger, whereas, what...

That's on the thread for about the 63rd time. The thing that it doesn't really show is where has he played best, what is his best position. So for example, Hinsh has played left back for us at Goodison, nobody would suggest that's his best position, there are all sorts of reasons why a player...

Yes yes, but let's not worry about that NOW

Hello?

How about us and Man Utd have a gentleman's bet on the game on Saturday. Loser has to back out of the Kadioglu deal. If it's a draw, we do a penalty shoot out after the fans have gone

And you spend the first 3 games trying to work out who the new players are

Might look less nice if you scrawled "Kursk is Ukraine" on it, but still worth doing it for the bantz

Wonder if they will advertise at the universities like Sodexo do? :)

Struggling to find the official match thread

They want a loan player? Sure Let's grease the wheels of this one. We can do better than just one .... We've got a Polish international, an ex Dortmund player, A former Fiorentina defender. Take all 3. Do they have a decent keeper? We have keepers? I guess we could chuck in a Irish u21...

That has become a very big game for us

I think it sinks the theory that he's refused us outright

We want the lad don't we!!

Bid rejected. Will we go back in for another nibble? Will we put on the back burner for another window? Will we look elsewhere? Will we reason, we have enough cover already? I reckon we properly want him, so nothing would surprise me.
