    So Snodgrass & Byram stay with us.

    They can still go out on loan to non Prem teams or be sold/loaned abroad.

    Poor Ginge. Surprised he didn't get a PL club, but he won't now be signing for anybody in the PL as the rules state the deadline today applies to free transfers too.

    Is that right? He is a free agent so it wouldn't be a free transfer as such.

    Yeah ;ok

    It's a rule change to allow for no advantage.

    Hence why Everton rushed the Bernard deal through. ;ok

    Was comparing Bernard and Anderson's career stats, and they are very similar in terms of goals and assists.

    Not even a real whisper of having to sell anyone we didn't want to....

    I really miss the fire sale headlines that used to accompany us every summer....

    Expected some noise about Arnie but he seems to be really happy with us...
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    what I am most happy with is that we still have Arnie........... great window.

    Quina to Watford undisclosed fee 4 year deal
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Good luck to him. That's a great deal for him (assuming he'll get playing time in the 1st team).
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Not happy with that

    Thought he looked good the cameos ive seen plus how highly rated he is
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Another very promising youngster who we've let go without giving him a chance in the first team, Oxford will be next. ;hmm

    Do you think every one of our Academy players should, before the age of 18, be given a chance to play a PL game in the first team?

    Or would you set any criteria/standards they have to meet before qualifying for that?

    re Quina, Jacob Steinberg (Guradian journo and alleged WH fan) claims Quina wanted too much money to extend his contract. Club decided therefore to cash in now, rather than let him go for free next summer. The deal contains plus 10% sell-on fee plus potential £1m in add-ons

    But if he's judged not ready to play in the 1st team just yet (who would he get ahead of in the team sheet?), how long do you keep him (even assuming you CAN keep him)? And what do you do with him in the meantime - U23s, loan out.... maybe he doesn't want to? And meanwhile there's next year's crop pf Academy players coming through.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Thats not the point im making

    It disappointing seeing a player whos highly rated both by ourselves and others leave for minimal fees that dont help at all

    What to do with youth is always difficult I know but youd think that given the gap between us and Watford isnt huge something couldve been done

    Personally I wouldve kept him with the u23s, tried to convicne him to stay or let him go for a free mext season and get compensation that probably isnt much less than the fee rumoured (£1mil)

    Not transfer related, but Jamie Vardy has just been given a four-year contract extension. At 31, that's a big commitment on Leicester's part, given that once his pace goes, he has very little else to offer.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Champo ;ok

    You imagine they tried all that. Maybe.

    It's always possible that they wanted to do what was in his best interests.

    Personally, I wouldn't be too surprised to see him with Watford's U23...
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    SSN panel (Don Goodman, Alan Smith and Ryan Mason) were asked who the bargains of the window were in their opinion. Goodman chose Moutinho of Wolves, but Smith and Mason chose Perez and Fredericks respectively.

    Nice to see our business being appreciated by the wider community.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Is this the same Quina who was being scouted by Barcelona at the recent European Under 19's tournament where he played very well if several of the media outlets are to be believed?
  • stevesteve
    yes it is Fortune ;ok
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Did the 'several media outlets' say why Barcelona decided not to act further on the scouting reports?
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    MrsG,

    No they didn't. Did you see anything?
  • AdamAdam
    No they didn’t because they were being fed stories by his agent* ;lol

    *This may or may not be true.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I think you will find that his agent said Barca were interested and not Barca themselves.

    Can’t belive Fulham signed a £20m dm after already snaring seri
