Reply With QuoteA non story really about Ejuke, but it's from a more reputable source than the one which suggested the deal was probably off a few days ago and they make no mention of him going somewhere else.

��️ Cardiff and QPR keen on Bobby Thomas
— TurfCast (C) (@TurfCastPodcast) July 9, 2023
QPR and Cardiff City are both interested in taking Bobby Thomas on loan. Thomas had a brilliant loan last season with Barnsley but will likely struggle to find a solid senior spot.

Burnley would want him to go somewhere where he’d get game time. He’d benchwarm (at best) with City.
This is spot on. We do need more depth at centre back, but with three senior centre backs on the books at the moment it is probably going to be a recently released younger player who will be prepared to be a squaddie and work toward a 1st team starting place. The top teams will not loan players to be back ups.
Interesting from someone who, apparently, predicted the Yakou Meite signing a day or two beforehand..

They did. So let’s hope this one comes off too!
One of the senior centre backs is Simpson, so we definitely need someone better.
If we have offered what we can then let's move on then and go for someone else - if they want to come they will come if they or their agent want to use as a negotiating ploy then let's not play their game?
Total market value of arrivals: €7.80m
Total market value of departures: €8.45m

Normally I’d agree with you, but I think this bloke might be worth hanging about for.
Here's hoping the "delay" is just to tie it in with the away kit reveal.
Just wonder what other targets we miss out on if we wait and he still says no?
We’ll have offered plenty of other players deals, and they’ll all be in the same boat. This one has just been leaked (presumably by the agent). We will also have offered contracts to other wingers in case this one doesn’t come off.
Bow to your better knowledge but confused how we can offer other contracts if we are waiting on preferred players as this implies if target A finally accepts we may then go back and withdraw other contract offers to other players- not sure how that helps future dealings if we have a rep for this type of approach
Appreciate we would down a list but didn't realise there would be a range of contracts offered out - interesting
Anybody watched the Sky documentary series called Deadline Day? For me it confirmed the devious role that the agents play, manipulating clubs, speculating and worst of all forcing moves.
Telling statements. There are 3 deals to be done, club, player & agent. On a couple of occasions the deal stalls because the club wouldn’t agree the agents slice. The engineered Openda deal from Bruges to Lens is a disgrace.
They’ll be speaking with agents, and will broadly agree terms with various clients. Every club does the same. Otherwise if you don’t get your first choice, you won’t sign anyone. Every club has 2/3 months to do all of their business so it is chaos. All agents know this so they’re trying to get the best move they can for their player.
If you remember, we’d agreed terms with Doughty and when it was obvious Giles wasn’t coming back we pulled the trigger.
Tell me you dont know how the football transfer game works without telling me you dont know how the football transfer game works.
Will give that a watch. Openda’s agent is about to get another pay day as he’s off to Leipzig or Milan for Ł40m+
Cheers for that - don't remember the doughty deal only that we were chasing Giles for a while but what you says makes sense
Mark Harris has joined Oxford
I've got a sneaking suspicion that if we don't get him he will have a huge break out season for someone else, and if we do he will become Josh Murphy of last season
Ejuke looks to be off :(
Yes to other players, but think Ejuke has fallen through. Which is a great shame as he'd have been another real coup for the club
