These deals till end of the season all make sense. Been stung too many times with long deals and the players end up Michael Fish.

 

Hopefully with Langer and Donis there is first option to buy if they prove to be a success. 

 

All positive stuff and hopefully another one or two through today 👍

 

I broadly agree but it's worth remembering that the short term deals didn't work too well under Cathro. The players need to be hungry to prove themselves and earn a deal rather work their ticket for when more options appear in the summer. Hopefully the two you mention are the former.

 

There does seem to be a better balance between committed mainstays and short term deals this time though.

Sounds like a nice guy. But nice guys off the pitch can often be b**t*rds on it!

 

Slightly better English than his gaffer...

These guys have all worked under DS at one point. He's not signing guys he doesn't know on short term deals like Cathro did. If he had worked with them before and they had terrible attitudes then he wouldn't be bringing them.

And he knows what he wants on the pitch.

I'm greedy.  Greedy for the signing.  

 

We must have some more.  I DEMAND TO HAVE SOME MORE!

Still , we got him Justin time

 

He agreed to sign end of last year.

 

Clubs can be awkward especially in waiting first for new signings.

 Advijaj was released by Trabzonspor so is our player, we may have an option to extend his contract though

 

Langer had 6 months remaining with Schalke but doesn't appear to be a loan from reading the article so maybe negotiated his release?

 

Means no fees to pay if they perform for us and are keen to stay

I see Barnsley just signed Ethan Erahorn from St Midden.  Left sided midfielder.............

 

Heard from a good source that he had a fall out with the club after a night out in Dublin. He is just a young lad and didn't want to go but was basically forced to.  He was then fined as he didn't go out on one of the nights.

Positive but presume it’s a loan and can’t see them coughing up much of his wages

Christ, if Daniel gets rid of MacLean, Berra, Whelan, Walker and Mulraney in this transfer window then he deserves a medal the size of a dustbin lid. 😊

Erahorn has had a lot of praise as a promising young player.

Loan I'm told

Do you know if the freeing up (partial I presume) of wages will mean we can sign Hermann or Thiam?

Berra to Dundee is a strange one when they couldn't afford Wighton.

 

Maybe they were fibbing?

Possibly they felt it worth pushing the boat out for Berra rather than Wighton which is probably fair tbh.

Sure wighton was a "buy" case and they weren't willing to pay the fee. Berra being a loan they will only cover part of his wages....

If you had a fairly small amount of money to spend and you had a choice of Berra or Wighton...

Because they are loan deals we will have no way of knowing what percentage of these players salaries are being covered.  I would be surprised if it was any more than 50%.  Still it's better then them staying here, never playing and us having to pay their full wages.

By all accounts the last manager, the Irish lad, really liked him.  

 

Good luck to him away from that scummy club.

And your inference is?  Is it an issue with you?

 

How many of the managers in the EPL have poor English and populate their coaching staff with same nationalities.
