Regarding Djorou, why do you think he would want to come here? How old was loovens when he came here? Do you think Djorou doesnt have a career left in him at 30? I think he'd want to come here for a two year deal at 30-40k a week and not have to put any effort in. Then do an Urby and go back to Switzerland for a 5-10k a week deal. He has nothing to prove, clearly isn't hungry as he didn't want to fight for his place at Hamburger. Much rather get a 25 year old Hanley who has time to prove himself enough to get a premier league contract and has to fight for his Scotland shirt.

sMacLean Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 He'll do.Rather we had him and used the fee saved on another fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 If staton is reporting it then it must be something likely. Is he injured that often or just sometimes not picked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 International defender, decent pedigree and at 6'3 would give us a presence at the back I think we lack didn't realise he was only 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Be a great signing on a free, experience, versatile & good on the ball Much rather have him than Danny Batth, don't get the love in with DB yes he was good 6 years ago in a wee wee poor league, but people sticking their noses up at a international centre back, who has played for some of the top teams after reading owlstalk today, anyone would have thought we have just dropped out of the football league and about to cease trading. We lost a friendly, Fulham lost 7-0, Brighton last years got spanked in all their friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC isn't paying out anymore transfer fees. Extremely worrying. Emmanuelson was always a stop gap measure and I doubt he was on anything like he was claiming , DC is not prepared to pay silly transfer fees at this moment in time , it's a game of Russian roulette and we will found out at the close of the transfer window IF he has made the correct call.

Weshallovercome Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 He only started 12 games for Hamburgers last season, was/is he injured? 6 yellow cards as well, a rival for Hutch's title.......although not a good trait in a centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every centre back linked so far has been rubbished by a section on here. I'm not being funny fellas, but which signing is everyone actually expecting? The fact we didn't get Bonucci from Juventus says it all about Chansiri's ambition!!! /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 He looks excellent, gets forward to make things happen too like Bartley did for Leeds. Hed be an absolute bargain on a free I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know Hanley wants to prove himself? He might just be another waster like Urby. Maybe thats why he didnt succeed at Newcastle.
