Initially I was going to hold off until after the Manzala announcement was official however I’ve had over 30 private messages since then and I am unable to reply to them so I’ll give a round up of my confidence of completing each signing now. Goalkeeper- Simon Eastwood (80%) talks ongoing. Centre Midfield- Christoph Knasmullner (60%) getting slightly more positive vibes about this one again. French CM target mentioned last time gone quiet. Winger - Harrison Manzala (95%) - he was the French winger I talked about last time and it’s looking like it’s a job well done. Premier league loan wanted. 2 different targets. Mostly likely will just sign one of these. Not too close yet but trying. Striker - Again looking like a loan. Premier League striker a target. Tabs on Fletcher as always. Again not too close but trying. Really enjoying this window. Exciting times
Cheers RAC. Do you think Eastwood will go straight in as number 1? Seems strange a 28 year old who is an established number 1 would come to be a bench warmer
Knasmullner 's goalscoring record from midfield is quite incredible. Better than most strikers. Really hope we get this one over the line.
Thanks for this Chris appreciate the update. Do you know what’s happened with the Knasmullner deal for you to feel more confident ? Thanks
Many thanks for the updates, Chris, they are very much appreciated. You remain very polite in the face of much (unwarranted imo) provocation.
He called me a dumb fence sitter with no bottle. That's not very polite at all. We can't have it both ways.
It makes you wonder if Manzala is a Nice target but the deal is to let Barnsley buy him then Nice buy him later off us.
