Reports saying we are interested in Kenneth Omeruo. He would be a cracking signing.

Celtic and Chelsea are in talks regarding the Nigerian centre back/ right back! Looks like van dijk could move after qualifier
12 Jul 2015 13:27:55
Can't see it tbh

We should get in for Piazon while we're talking.
It's looking more like we really are looking to develop youngsters than bring in experienced players. It's a plus that we can really teach such players into our structure and method. The downfall is that will we ever have a complete side or just become some sort of development programme for clubs in superior leagues? And just become a cycle rather than a linear progression?
At least we're doing it with pedigree, players who have been around top clubs. Where not 'making the grade' is not so bad. City, Chelsea etc search the globe for top young talent, and have the muscle to win their signiatures. But rarely bring them through and instead just chuck money at a problem. But they can. And we can't.

Would this be a loan or a permanent deal? If its another permanent deal I would be impressed. Looks like we are looking at top 4 or 5 EPL clubs to see what good youngsters they have who are ready for first team football and taking a punt on them (denayer, boyatta, Janko). This could be a good strategy I think as there's a number of top younger players in their ranks who never get the chance due to the money spent down there. I seen Josh Mceachran has joined Brentford permanently after years of being loaned out, if our midfield wasnt already sorted I would have liked to think we would look at that sort of player.
Would piazon need a work permit to play up here?

No idea RsK to be honest. I'm not sure how it works. You would think if he can play in Holland and Germany then yes. Or the rules need changing for UK/Scotland.

I dearly hope that the story about Omeruo are correct and that we can get him what a player
12 Jul 2015 23:48:50
his younger brother plays for Rangers International of Enugu,I wonder if Mr Warburton knows about him?
12 Jul 2015 20:56:41
Ed, do you if we r interested in this guy? I know his future is up in the air just now
{Ed007's Note - Yes we're interested in him and Chelsea want rid.}
13 Jul 2015 18:44:22
Ed? Do you reckon this would be a loan deal or a permanent one should it go through?
{Ed007's Note - It'll be a loan.}
13 Jul 2015 19:18:41
Thanks Ed. We should bring him in regardless of the Van Dijk deal if its a loan and get shot of Ambrose and have Boyata Him and Van Dijk fight over the two centre half positions.
13 Jul 2015 18:55:33
Loan too buy ed?
{Ed007's Note - I don't know yet mate, sorry.}
13 Jul 2015 19:51:31
Cheers ed.
{Ed007's Note - (yes)

Been a while since I posted on here. as I've said in the past I live in Boro so follow them as well as Hoops. He was very good earlier last season but he had a bad slump in form since the start of the year really. Boro did have a solid defence so was no real surprise to see him lose his place. Still he'd do well for us, not really good enough to replace VVD but definitely prefer him to Ambrose.
