Transfer Rumours January Incoming/Outgoing...

Really?

 

You were championing signing a new keeper all along.

I agree with you, neither are good enough.

Just as well we have Marshall.

 

But you don't go into a PL season with just an unproven keeper

 

Well he managed to prove that he wasn't reliable nearly every time he played. Jury is still very much out. He's ****ed up a few times in the last couple of games too.

 

This kid looks really good, and if the report is right we missed out because we would pay his travel expenses. Sounds familiar.

Ronaldo Vieira's former coach has claimed that the Leeds United prospect may well have ended up joining Hull City before his move to Elland Road, but the Tigers turned down the chance to sign him for one particular reason, the Yorkshire Evening Post reports.

Vieira - who was born in Guinea-Bissau but was raised in Portugal - moved to England in 2011. In 2015, he signed for Leeds United's academy and within a year was playing for the first-team, quickly becoming a key part of Garry Monk's plans.

But, according to Simon Collins - who has worked for Leeds and Manchester City in the past - Hull City and Leeds' Championship rivals Barnsley were given the chance to sign the youngster after City had said no and before he came to Thorp Arch, but both turned him down.

Yorkshire Evening Post[/a]. "With Hull it was more down to the fact that they weren't willing to pay for his travel. I think they were keen but it wasn't really possible for him to get there without some help

I havent checked but I'd guess I didn't champion signing a keeper after Bruce left.

 

I don't think we've ever gone into a PL season with a proven keeper.

 

Myhill?

 

And McGregor came with a big reputation

 

HDM reckons we will sign two before the Chelsea game, although haven't given any definitive names. They mention Van der Wiel and the rb from Olympiakos as possibles.

 

Van der Wiel maybe a non starter his club want a permanent transfer, we are after loaning him, plus he's on mega wages .

 

He has played for Legia Warsaw and in European competition. Yes, really. Fine as a number 2.

 

And you say that with such authority despite probably never seeing him play.

 

I'd be amazed if we really do have anyone in that quickly. Even once it gets to the stage where they're obviously definitely coming, it always takes us ages to get everything tied up and confirmed.

 

Apart from last week, of course.

 

So who is going to be back up with Kuciak and McGregor outgoing?

 

Erm. Niasse?

 

Ditto.
