Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Edited December 11, 20169 yr by Ratwhite

All players have to consider wages, especially at a lower level.

SS discussed this very point in his interview. 

That said, sometimes a player will need to assess what is best for his career long term, rather than digging his heels in.

We don't know what the score is regarding personal terms, but I would hope we don't spend too long in negotiations, and don't spend too long waiting to look elsewhere if he procrastinates.

They all are at the moment.

It is however, a change from their previous reports, so maybe something is happening.

Anyway, 21 years ago today, we signed Hierro.

Shite him

I agree on that, hence the agent isn't doing his job if he's not getting the best deal for him within reason.  I know there are the apparent idiots like the Ceesay one and I get what you're saying, but we shouldn't use him as a stick to beat others with.  Ahadme's agent could be the the most reasonable bloke in football but he's got a job to do to justify his salary/cut, just as Fergal's got to fight our corner.

To me, a deal - any deal - is ultimately a straightforward honest transaction based on the principle of “I need x this much. If you sell x to me for this amount or less, we have a deal. If not, we can both walk away and nobody is any worse off.”

Finding common ground on this one may prove tricky given Ahadme’s current deal - and hopefully us having other options if the price ain’t right. Go Fergal!

the "personal terms" could well be him negotiating out his contract with Charlton for all we know.

Mason Burstow on loan from Hull by the looks of things. Hardly a prolific record but can’t say I know much about him.

Aye,   seen that on the kit man video.

His stats ain't gonna go down well.   

Think there's an INCOMING clue in here... "What do you want me to do with this new lads shirt?"

Burstow?

Never heard of the lad, but Hull fans don't seem too happy he's going out on loan. 

Looks like he plays a bit off the left as well. 

Hopefully they'll be interviewing the tea lady later. "How many sugars does this Irish lad have in his tea again?"

3pm announcement too. One more at 5pm? 👀

 

4 in 68, really excited by this one

Well, Mason Burstow's Wiki (yes, I know) says he plays for Bolton Wanderers.

Joined Hull from Sunderland 12 months ago for £2m on a 4yr contract. Appeared 30 times, scored twice. He's 6ft 2in & is 'a forward'.

The replies to this from Hull fans are very encouraging.

He definitely looks robust and dynamic.

So who is next is it the Charlton guy or  Kenny to fill the last striker spot?

Have to imagine this is instead of the Charlton fella, Kenny very much still on the cards if we can get sorted on the fee. 

I saw them doing the photo shoot from my hotel bedroom window this morning but didn’t know who he was.

May have saved us enough to allow a deal with Celtic.

Getting Kelman vibes about this lad. Obviously very talented maybe he needs a season in lge1

Bring Kenny in and i think we have had a decent summer

This is some turn round of players 

SS must of been pretty pissed the way we finished last season
