Genuine ITK info.. with a catch

As we shuffle into the last of the January transfer window.. all my eggs remain in this one basket.

ALI AL-HAMADI - if it doesn’t come off and it turns out that I am not the greatest football message board poster of all time.. I might have to announce my retirement in a Jurgen Klopp style sign off.

Blackburn mentioned, Ipswich linked.. no mention of boro.

Good luck 😉
 
Sticking with my January 10th prediction of Al Al-Hamadi.. unable to get any further info from my sauce
(it was genuine btw.. ropey.. but genuine)

Morgan Rogers wears the number 10 shirt
Ali Al-Hamadi wears the number 10 shirt

£8m Fee for Morgan Rogers (guessed)
£1.6m sell on to Man City (guessed)
Rogers £1m fee
Azaz £2.5 replacement
Ali Al-Hamadi £3m addition (fee agreed)
£8.1m.. sort of adds up

Harrison Minturn £1.5m (over 18 months)
paid for by a possible Paddy McNair departure?

Interesting.. maybe.. Harrison Minturn has worn the Humber 31 shirt for the last two seasons.. currently vacant at boro.. David Wheaters old squad number.

£10m is cleaner mind..

£2m for City
£1m Rogers
£2.5 Azaz
£3m Al-Hamadi
£1.5m Minturn
‘£10m is cleaner mind.. he says’

Sounds like the deal for Morgan Rogers is imminent at £10m plus £5m of add ons.
 
We might be switching targets if we sell Rogers for £10m+
Luke Ayling feels like a new target.. as does Luke Thomas tbh

Finn Azaz feels like he’s popped up on our radar fairly recently and perhaps the deal was done with Morgan Rogers in mind.

We’ve been short of centre backs and the club will be mindful of Paddy McNairs contract situation.

Our striker target will be more of a long term target imo.. we missed out on Tommy Cannon and then apparently we were in for Brandon Vasques.. but nothing came of it. We have shown an interest much earlier with AAH and I would say he has only improved since then.

Gotta be the bigger pull with our recent for and cup exploits.. definitely ok an upwards trajectory with Michael Carrick at the helm. The number 10 shirt could become vacant with Rogers moving on..
 
Iraq in the Asian Cup tomorrow vs Jordan
TRANSFER WINDOW 1 Feb
Asian Cup QF - 2/3 Feb
SUNDERLAND 5 Feb
Asian Cup SF - 6/7 Feb
Asian Cup FINAL - 10 Feb BRISTOL

Could our promotion hopes rest on the outcome of the Asian Cup?

Deadline day loan could be on the cards..Diallo would be ideal.
