So who we getting then?

A striker and winger?

Still woefully short. Think we need a QUALITY ball carrying CM- another winger/wing back and an extra striker.

Basically quality through the middle, wide and up top.  One or two injuries and we're back to square one..

I bet Christmas mornings in your house were a hoot.

I expected to read it was Mads Jorgensen we are after, and Gestede had been playing FM 2010.

If they pay the money and like I said I think at the moment 4 million tops which I don't think we would accept .

You think venkys would turn down a 4million bid from a prem club bought for 500k in the summer with less than 2 years on the contract? Fair play I think the opposite I think any sniff of a bid of that amount and he will be gone

Under contract till 28. And a further years option on his deal.

Yeah I do think we would turn down £4 million for him as he has improvement in him and has been here a few months .

Breaks into the Nigeria 11 more exposure and his price will rise.

Il bet now he will be here when the window shuts.

Ismael at the Q&A said he wanted players proven in the championship who don't need 3 or 4 weeks to get up to speed with fitness and the league. Neither of these signings fit that. 

£3.5m on a player who has been benched or come on as a late sub in Bodos biggest games in champs league this season doesnt seem right to me.

I really dont see them cashing in on Alebiousu so early what would we get for him now? 4 million tops I reckon 

He has the potential to be worth far more than that.

So was Wharton.  Didn't stop them

Is the danish lad actually a striker or another winger?

If Dønnum is a permanent then I will give Mr Gestede a clap.

I read this as THE clap.

I'd save yourself the stress now, we 100% aren't getting all that. The only way we could even fill those as positions on top of these other two is if we just bought a load of dross again like in the summer.

He doesn't have less than 2 years on the contract.

Apparently quite a fast striker...

He had 35 goal contributions in 51 games for AaB as a striker. Those sort of numbers for a winger would put him way out of our price range.

Wharton even if underpriced was 18 million. 

Nobody pays more than £4 million for Alebiousu as it stands imo.

Of a prem team like Everton are genuinely interested he’s gone 

They’ve got Norton-Cuffy in their sights for the right back position. Plus Coleman is back in training.

[Ricceh]

I must've missed the multiple links, but who actually linked Alebiosu to Everton?

I'd like to point out this kind of shit always happens around newcomers during AFCON, where it may be true people are interested, but it's mostly just agent noise to capitalise on the countless hype articles posted after his debut.

noon tomorrow,

Standard rule is always noon on Friday for weekend games, Not sure if the same applies to Friday night games, or if they would need to be registered by Thursday

[Polky]

Both seem like decent signings on paper, let’s hope they hit the ground running 🤞🏻
