    I'm very disappointed with this news, I would have liked to see him in the first team squad for next season. I can't work out why he isn't, has his developmental stalled? Is there some kind of attitude problem? Why do the club think he isn't ready and will a season in Germany rectify that?

    Maybe we have better CB's than them.

    If we wanted to sign a youngster on loan from a team who finished 12th in the bundesliga last season, you'd find it a bit strange surely?
    They were in the champions league last season too
    You'd say they are better than us, no?

    (I know the link is just a rumour)

    I must admit I'm a little mystified.

    Two years ago he was STARTING at the Emirates. Yet last season he was largely bench warming at Reading. What has happened?

    I have this real fear that in the not too distant future he will end up leaving the club permanently and when he does he might not have made any more first team appearances for us

    ;hmm

    Considering how many goals we've conceded last season, Bilic clearly doesn't think he's ready.

    He played DM against Arsenal.... Obiang was injured.

    Presumably he's not going to get into the 1st team in that position. And i assume if this story is true) that he isn't showing more than our other CBs in training, so isn't pushing any of them down the pecking order.

    It is odd, though.

    Everton are keen on 25-year-old West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang. (Sunday Mirror)

    Is that right ? He played less game then then AC?

    If Oxford did end up joing Gladbach then I could at least watch somebody associated with West Ham at the weekend. Since Sky Germany lost the rights to the PL I am relying on titbits

    The Recce Oxford rumour is a little worrying as it makes me wonder if the club are fearing him being distracted with life outside if football and wanting to put distance between certain influences. I will add that is only a thought and may be utterly wrong, but I cannot work out why he wouldn't be loaned out over here like our other upcoming hopefuls.

    Like others I also find it hard to understand how with all of our injury issues last year that he couldn't get a run out from time to time. My fear is that he is not progressing as hoped, if not surely we have a role for him this year, spend our money on what we really need up front and at full back and Reece Oxford can cover defensive midfield and centre back and get a run out in the cups.

    AC has played some terrific games for us this season and last, not as many as I or any other supporter would have liked but nevertheless.....Sakho? What has he done in the last two seasons? Insult us with his attitude. On the other hand Andy's attitude has been 100%. Comparing the two!!

    West Ham's flexible defender Havard Nordveit could be set for a return to Germany. After a disappointing season in English football, the Norwegian may join Hoffenheim, who finished fourth in the Bundesliga. (Kicker)
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Flexible? Bendy like Beckham? ;smoking
  • secrethammersfansecrethammersfan
    Flexible, as in he can be anonymous at RB or DM.

    Anyone got a list of our pre-season games ?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I don't think they've been announced yet. There was a recent article on the club site about the U23 pre-season, and it just mentioned that work was going on to finalise/schedule the senior pre-season.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    ;hmm I assume there is no pre-season friendly tour to any country with no announcement yet
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I thought we were going to Germany and Austria as per last pre season.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    But is that a 'tour' or just training camps?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Austria was the training camp and we played 3 games in Germany.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    I assume we aren't going to have a prestige pre season home friendly as the ground won't be ready in time?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Correct.

    If true, that is insane.

    Liverpool should just buy Southampton outright

    He'll be on our radar then this time next year for around £25m

    He's a good player. He's not a £60m player.

    Liverpool aren't great at transfers, are they...
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Yet the amount of money Southampton make on transfer profits is staggering - they lose the players, they lose top managers yet still maintain a foothold in the top half of the Prem

    Perhaps he'll play for a token 1k per week.
