Genuine ITK info.. with a catch

Zidane Iqbal is a name we were strongly linked with at one point. Ended up leaving Man Utd for buttons and going to Utrecht.. currently playing behind Ali Al-Hamadi for Iraq.. I did hear that he might be leaving.. some sort of contract issue? Still only 20yo and I think he was recovering from an injury when he first signed for Utrecht.

To make a seemingly impossible tenuous link even more so..in a position that we are pretty well stacked with. Might be a name that crops up again in the near future.. unlike his teammate Ali Adnan.. ‘The Iraqi Ian Harte’

Zidane Iqbal might be a very astute signing of the opportunity comes up.. depending on his injury situation. July 2023 he cost £850k.. might have got it wrong but I’m sure I’ve heard he is leaving.
What do you reckon to this?

Wait.. what if everything was set up to bring in this striker.. looks the part £1m+ can do a job low level risk.. we missed out on Tom Cannon.. Jay Stansfield isn't moving..
THEN something changes.. something like a new manager at a club.. maybe a players face no longer fitting.. priorities changing. What if Sheffield United don't fancy Cameron Archer anymore? He just isn't their type of striker.. we are not in the discussion.. because we don't have a huge wedge of cash available to make something like that happen.
£7.5m strikers we've been looking at.. well.. not we have a £10m wedge burning a hole in our pocket! We're getting up to that £18m fee for Cameron Archer.. the number 10 shirt will be free again.

Talk of Aaron Ramsey coming back on loan sounded a bit crazy.. 286 minutes for Burnley this season.. MAYBE it isn't THAT out of the question.

Finn Azaz to replace Morgan Rogers..

But Cameron Archer coming in for £18m and Aaron Ramsey coming in on loan from Burnley..

talk about getting the band back together! that would be ridiculous

Cameron Archer to replace Matthew Hoppe
Aaron Ramsey in on loan to cover Alex Gilbert going out on loan.

why pull the plus on the Brendan Vasquez deal? unless.. there is an option to bring in Cameron Archer and Aaron Ramsey.

Sheffield United
IN - Sekou Mara - Southampton
OUT - Cameron Archer - Middlesbrough

Burnley

OUT - Aaron Ramsey - Middlesbrough

THRE CLUBS IN ONE SEASON

Does THIS mean Cameron Archer can sign for us.. 5 minutes at the start of the season might not count.. he has fully complied with his contractual obligations with his previous clubs.. hasn’t he?

5 minutes of football in the premier league at the start of the summer cannot possibly impact on playing in the winter for a championship club.

Do we have anyone we can phone and check for this? Karen Nelson perhaps?
 
Still the same guy apparently..

22yo Fisnik Asllani - SV Elversberg on loan from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (had 17 goals for TSG Hoffenheim II)
Gladbach, Werder Bremen, Freiburg and Stuttgart all showing interest.


I genuinely think that this could be the guy.. he looks like he could be related to Steve Gibson.. also a bit of a Jonathan Woodgate look to him. He actually looks like a mix of a few local boro lads.. Stewart Downing in there too. Deal Fry maybe.

They can do all sorts these days!

another one to watch is the potential replacement at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.. refused to sign a contract extension at FC Köln
22yo Tim Lemperle - FC Köln <> TSG 1899 Hoffenheim or VfB Stuttgart

Tim has torn muscle fibre so doubt its him Newy .
I like the look of Kasper Hogh and Erik Botheim.
Erik the Red has a ring to it don't you think.
I have sent my wish list in , 3 in particular eye watering suggestions on it, which I will keep to myself for now , but if any come off you will be over the Newy moon.

Kasper Hogh has an annoying face.. so it can’t be him. Erik Botheim is Norwegian which carries Fjortoft good energies.. but he wears a headband.. so that will ve a non starter.. Gibbo won’t put up with that.

Three eye watering suggestions.. from Norway and Estonia.. make it so!!

I heard that you and nobby had been getting a bit of a hard time on oneBoro? What goes on? Is it the usual suspects? Have you had the creepy private messages yet?

No private message , 3 or 4 people on there having digs at me and Nobby ( never met the bloke or you for that matter ) so I have come off there .
I in particular checking dates and suggesting I was lying !
Far too old and thick skinned to let a key board warrior get to me.
I may have got a date wrong but as you know I Reccomended rogers to GG from seeing him play for Lincoln , and eventually we signed him after GG left . All I said was he was on our radar for a long time since I saw him for Lincoln.
Some on there don’t like it if others make suggestions , you wouldn’t last 😃
No skin off my nose , I will continue doing my bit and hope those who makes the decisions like 1 or 2 .
I have found a great LB and hope they get him .
A bit of wheeling to be done

I didn't last.. couldn't be doing with. The majority were sound but a few of them were just massively out of order. Two in particular.
