Has anybody been watching the Sky documentary " Deadline Day : Footballs transfer window" Really good insight into the role of agents and their relationship with the players. Also shows just how difficult it is to get deals done and what's involved in trying to sign a player

Thanks for the info. Hope we can make it happen

Completely agree. If he signs I'm sure it's an indication Ayalas contract won't be renewed in the summer. Just saying that if he can play other positions that's a bonus 👍

Fair enough, but I'd prefer to hear a Hibs fans opinion on the matter

Wouldn't be the first time players have been converted to a different position. Didn't Sam play Phil Jones in a defensive midfield role. Going back even further Fred Pickering started life as a defender before becoming one of the countries best strikers. It can happen , nothing wrong with being versatile.

Wonder if Porteus being looked at as a defensive midfield option rather than cb?

Apologies, I was already losing the will to live by that time !

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I really see the camera pan onto JDT at 3-0 and he was smiling with his assistant ?

Daily Express this morning so don't believe there will be anything in it personally.

Of all the rumours so far, I can see this as being a possible. Chile international left back, can also play left midfield and centre mid.(according to transfer market) More important, his contract was up at the beginning of this month so free agent. Only 25 and played for Colo Colo in Chile 1st division. Wonder it f bbd had a word with somebody Edit Forget that, think he's gone to Besiktas !

Possibly, but he can't have pulled up any trees at Stoke or else he would still be there. I can just imagine the reaction on here if we signed him and turned out like Hirst. We can't afford that risk with him

Haven't we just been through something similar with Hirst and now you want to repeat it ?

Why, did you want him ?

Be surprised if the true figure is anything like that. Wouldn't be the first time fees have been over exaggerated

Certainly Garrett seems to have taken over that enforcer role from him. Just hope it's a blip , similar to Buckley who has looked good since coming back, albeit a couple of mistakes

Rovers at home to forest green or birmingham

If Steve Clarke believes Hanley is better than Hyam then I give up. Don't know what he needs to do to get a call up

I was thinking it looks a strong side !

Would have been nice but cb is the one area we are strongest ATM. We all know there are other positions that need strengthening before that

Hirst off to Ipswich ? https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1161238980?-11198:839

He made a big impression at Derby last season which led to his move to Palace. Whenever I watched him on the box last season he impressed me

Absolutely. The phrase "defend from the front" comes to mind

See 36 year old Matt Derbyshire has signed for Sparky at Bradford. Been a bit of a nomad has Matty, played all over
