It was only 2 years ago he was voted Sunderland's play of the year and they couldn't get rid of him fast enough...only for Norwich to come it and get a whopping 16 appearances. I think we were lucky to get from him what we did this past year. A one year deal, sure but anything longer than that. When he went to Norwich we thought Sunderland was going to buy him out and just let him sign for us for nothing. Point being is was very good for us, deserves an contact but is also replaceable and not a long term solution....but this club doesn't do long term solutions, only stick their finger in the current hole in the damn sort of shite.

Very limited times. Was absolutely horrific for half a season, then had maybe a month where he was good and got most of his very limited goal return, then dropped back off and looked poor again. Yes I would say a decent Championship player. Good value signing, nothing special. Gueye is a big lump who we have to totally change our style to get anything out of. And when he was coming on as a sub which would make him a plan B towards the end of the season, his body language was really poor and he may aswell have not come on. If 6 is a decent return for a striker then my standards must be too high.

A foreign transfer target that I’ve actually seen live! Saw him play this season for FC Volendam v Helmond Sport whilst on a stag do in Amsterdam. Not sure if he can step up to the championship but has got quite a few assists for Volendam. Big fan of their striker Henk Veermen, 6’7 tap in merchant - only issue is he’s 34 🤣

Is Ohashi only decent championship player? Why doesn't Gueye not fit in anymore? He gives you a plan B and a player who could hold the ball up and scored decent return in his first season. Plus both will learn from this past season and hopefully be better for it

Yet again Eddie, nowhere did I defend it!!! In fact, I posted out who we sign for cash. Simple as Eddie, if you have problem with my posts scroll past if such a problem with them.

He loves an assist.

He can't be bargained with, he can't be reasoned with and he absolutely will not stop.

I've genuinely no idea why fans don't like Gueye. He was our best player at times last season and completely unplayable for defenders.

Exactly.

Let's hope its a good tasty pie

I think that account is full of shit but how does anyone know how class or otherwise a Volendam winger is?

This guy would be class btw

The reality nowadays is that we're probably more likely to sign a better player on a free, if the recruitment department does its job properly. It's the reason why Gestede makes it clear that wages are part of the transfer budget. The power, as we're finding out with Dolan, is with the player. Gallagher could have sat it out for another 12 months and made more money, i'd like to think he was thinking of the club when he went for a fee.

Every day is a school day

Technically 1st June, (for 9 days) but seeing as it is effectively a registration window, not a transfer window, and we do not have any games to register players for, does it matter? Its not like teams cannot sign players anyway or announce signings

when does the transfer window open????

And yet again it's 2 of last seasons best players going and the back up player most likely to score. So the replacements brought in for little or no money will have big holes to fill.

batth is an organiser and leader,we`ll be weaker defensively without him

The idea of us discarding Batth for a younger model only works if we hadnt offered Batth a new deal in the first place. He will undoubtedly be a huge loss. I think we will also need (and probably not get) 4 attacking players. Up front we have Ohashi who is a decent Championship player and Gueye who doesnt really fit in and more often than not is more of a liability than an asset. We need a striker. We will need someone to compete with Cantwell and obviously out wide we need at least 2. Kargbo looks very raw, Hedges cant attack and thats all we have.

But we need to remember why we were desperate for a Danny Batth in the first place. Ideally we'd keep him AND get this lad in but people thinking it's a good idea to lose one and get the other i don't think are looking at the bigger picture. The 'project' line is being swallowed again a bit too much for my liking.

It's not on me to prove you right. For what it's worth, I was ambivalent towards both signings but if Batth falls through our fingers it's another failure.

derby did`nt take him,he left because rovers are a complete shambles

Last summers transfer thread should see you right

He was arguably our player of the season.
