I'd bet money on the deal being done before the widow closes.

To be fair his dad would be our best player these days.

I say the same for any good player that considers moving to the SPL. There's like 2 games a year and a cup final worth playing - otherwise you're on easy street. Like a move to Rangers or Celtic it's purely money / status based. Can't really blame them in a short career.

The concern around Morishita for me is that it looks like he's just had his Szmodics season. An unbelievable year that coincided with him playing further forward that's a massive outlier to the rest of his career.

It's a bit chicken and egg. He was given the chance, but he couldn't stay fit. Someone said he's started 8 games total for us - that's nothing. Now it seems like he's been written off.

He had our pants down for Szmodics, and that was with Broughton in charge. I shudder to think what Pasha's playing at.

Don't think it means anything until it's a senior cap. See Grealish and Rice.

I hope they task the double agent with leading the mole hunt like the FBI used to do.

For some reason they've been absolutely desperate to bring Baradji in. A loan to buy for a player they can't give a timeframe for is a head scratcher. We're a CM down with Travis leaving, we're really short there now.

It's brought in what, £25m+ (Wharton, Raya, Travis, Buckley, JRC, Leonard) in the last few years? This is not them positioning themselves to shut the Academy down. This is simply them selling assets they don't think can help us (and falling out with Travis).

These transfers have paid for the Academy for the next 3 years, easily. That's not even factoring in the Raya / Wharton money. Buckley, JRC and Leonard (surprisingly) have been deemed not good enough and sold for a healthy fee. That's how the system should work.

Don't do it, Adam!

Ohashi gets bullied off the ball every week.

They'd be shifting him out now if they didn't think he was good enough - they've been ruthless with the other transfers.

Born in London, so I wonder if Eidur went native...

I think someone has realised we were woefully short of assets. The ones over this £10k wage cap (or wanting an extension over this £10k wage cap) have been shifted out. They've been replaced with young gambles from abroad with an eye on developing them and selling them on. We'll be in the black when the window closes because we've absolutely slashed the wage bill.

This Smit lad looks like he plays wide left too (similar to Brereton-Diaz). Would provide plenty of depth. DeNeve might have his nose pushed out of joint though.

He's been completely frozen out, so he has to be leaving this window.

Oh is that his son? I thought they had weird naming conventions over there? I wasn't expecting him to be a Gudjohnson.

His movement is very good.

Either his back is absolutely fucked or something has gone on behind the scenes and he's upset people.

It's a big gamble - and one that doesn't obviously push the two starters. To me we either need to bring in someone better than those two or someone wildly different for an option off the bench (i.e. quick!).

We loaned out Travis and Buckley a few years ago so we could bring in new players. The budget really is that tight under these billionaire owners.

Yes, pay for BRFCS Premium.

Has it rained or is everyone sweating cobbs?!
