He would be superb under Poch I think.

To be fair, a loan to Leeds wouldn't be the worst move. Marcelo Bielza has signed up for next season so he would get another year of good education.

Yeah could be a good move, but then again I reckon a PL club might take a loan punt on him too.

In any case, Hercs has said he'd be with us until Christmas so hopefully he learns plenty in the first 4 months.

Pleased with this if it happens. He has looked good in the bits and pieces I've seen and I used to live in Leeds and a lot of people I know who go regularly say he's mustard.

Doubt it - Sessegnon is likely to end up as an attacking wing back whereas this kid is a proper forward/winger type.

Fair enough. I thought it was mooted we saw Sessegnon as an attacker. I'd be happy to sign both in fairness.

I know literally nothing about bookies and their clout but TAS also said this......



And we all love a bit of "started following/unfollowing ITK" :ROFLMAO:

Not a stalker or anything :whistle: but JJ liked this tweet today.


Could be down to all the Ndombele, Lo Celso talk that everyone has their eyes elsewhere but this would be a great signing.

We were supposedly close a couple of weeks ago, with only a few million out so doesn't surprise me if he's in first.

Hopefully he can have a similar impact to Dele

Not quite true but yes they will know who the shrewd punters are when it comes to transfers etc. Often they will communicate after the bet has been placed and adjust/close their odds accordingly. Every bookie does not follow them though, that's a stupid/naive comment.

Looks a decent prospect to be fair, look forward to seeing what he can do. Looks a lot better than that Dan James kid to me. Hopefully this is done.

Whilst we're all (naturally) clamouring for Ndombele and Lo Celso it would be good to break up the waiting with sigining a player like Clarke.

Got all the time in the world for these types of acquisitions.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if he’s told friends and families he’s about to move and they’ve all gone and lumped on it. I work for a bookmakers and you see it all the time when it becomes clear someone has favourable info and markets have to be adjusted accordingly to protect themselves. I would imagine it’s just quite a few people have staked on it in anticipation and now Betfair are protecting themselves from losing too much money. Just the way it works.
