His wages (at least for the 1st season) could be an issue, but I doubt he is earning more at Rangers than Turnbull was at Celtic who we signed in the last 12 months of his contract - albeit when we were in the Championship. But Matondo's career is currently at a lower ebb that Turnbull's was at the time.Quote:

Turnbull was a very highly rated youngster in Scotland too when Celtic signed him, so probably on more than decent moneyQuote:

Osho played full game for Auxerre today. If the rumour that we are interested is true then there is obviously no agreement yet.
Agreed, on both accounts.Quote:

Agree 100%, there should ideally be a percentage of a sell on fee payable to the club the player has been poached from, I’ve noticed how many transfers of young players from premiership clubs contain a sell on fee for the club, they are raking it in from every angle.Quote:

A mate of mine who is a Boror fan says we're trying to get hold of Micah Hamilton on loan from Boro. An interesting one as he's worked with BBM at Man City and he's able to play in midfield or out wide.

Hamilton was left out of Boro's matchday squad for Saturday's Championship opener against Swansea, but Edwards insists the 21-year-old still has a future at the Riverside.
Gabriele Biancheri anyone? Available on a loan, fits BBMs remit.
He hasn't made a single first team appearance for anyone.Quote:

He and Crew might as well have stayed hereQuote:

Rangers fans would drive him here.

Unless he's outstanding and could take us up (like when Derby had Wilson, Mount and Tomori) I don't see the benefit for us. He's not in Bellamy's plans, and Mark Harris is, so I can't see it being hugely beneficial to us, unless he came here permanently, which he won'tQuote:

Sheffield Wednesday are unable to sign new players until owner Dejphon Chansiri can offer assurances that he can pay them, but things could be different when it comes to a goalkeeping crisis - the club currently has no senior options available following the injury to Charles.
Signing Horvath would give Henrik Pedersen an experienced goalkeeper to call upon during Wednesday's upcoming fixtures, and while it is currently unclear whether the Owls are preparing to sign him on an emergency loan deal or a free transfer, his arrival would be vitally important.
Horvath going from back-to-back Championship playoff promotions to back-to-back Championship relegations. Brutal.
I do hope Wednesday defy the odds and hang on though.
I am sure there is a sell on clause with Will Fish. If he does well here and is sold, Man United will get a cutQuote:
