    "Despite the recruitment team working through the night behind the scenes and a late unsuccessful bid for Hector Kyprianou, the club were unable to secure any of their January targets. The good news being that with the emergence of Mamadou Doumbia, the strong training performances shown by Myles Roberts and the pending return from injury of Tom Dele Bashiri, it is thought Head Coash Tom Cleverley feels that he effectively has 3 new players jockeying for position in any case and does not want to stymie their development with a bloated squad. An additional boost has been the 2 year extension agreed with established Swedish international Ken Sema, as owner Gino Pozzo continues to provide Cleverley with a squad able to meet all challenges in this season and beyond"

    Well I know we are already in talks with Peterborough for Kyprianou, so we at least haven’t left it until deadline day this time…

    and he’s out of contract in summer so a good chance they’re willing to listen to offers this time around.

    we shall see how it plays out

    Clearly fake as no mention of the squad being capable of a serious promotion challenge.

    Think we've missed the boat with Kyprianou,, lots of interest fom other clubs with bigger budgets than ours

    we shall see. I think our long term interest holds us in good stead with the player, also a local lad which helps

    No mention of 'yesteryear' = fake news.

    I'd hope if we let go of Porteous we'd bring in a left-footed CB if possible.

    We already have Pollock, Sierralta and Keben for the right-side or central of the 3 CBs. Ogbonna despite being left-footed is also seen as more of a central player.

    For the left side we've had to mostly use either a sub-par Morris, or out of position Sierralta. Tikvic isn't really up to it and will be loaned out somewhere. Kayky is still a long way off from doing anything.

    Is Keban going to be fit any time soon ?

    I think Cleverley said he's just back on the grass. It may still be a few weeks before he's ready to play, but he was highly rated enough when we signed him that unless the incoming CB is just a loan it wouldn't make sense long-term to bring someone in who would shift him to 3rd or 4th in the pecking order for a spot.

    He's 2-3 weeks away from his next setback.

    So we should expect a drugs ban incoming soon.

    After just watching Al-Hamadi take a penalty I fully expect him here tomorrow.

    Maybe it's Deulofeu? But then he's not a Free Agent I think as still under Udinese contract?

    Also ignroes the whole wonky knee injury thing

    TBF he did get 2 assists but then it was Bristol Rovers.

    Reported in the Mirror that Preston want him on loan, though a North End fan in the comments on X is casting doubt as they already have 5 CBs

    Well unless he really really wants to go cannot see this happening.

    EDIT: One got injured on Friday apparently but then would be a waste to just got there and sit on their bench.

    Also he started the last game and knowing how we swap the defence around probably play in the next!

    I read it was Preston or Hull but also Clevs said he is still in contention for a place in the team.

    Good to know at least that the Preston scouts are worse than our own.

    Wonder how our average player tenure compares with other clubs.

    Who's our longest sever now? Bachman?

    Reckon there’s a good chance this one happens today - Porteous played under Heckingbottom at Hibs.

    Oh no, what will we do without him charging out of position leaving gaping holes in our defence?

    Dunno, seems like a strange move to just loan him. If we're that desperate to free up his wages then why not just sell him?

    If it happened it wouldn't surprise me if it was a loan with an obligation to buy in the summer. Often suits one side or the other to hold off the permanent deal for a bit.

    Seems to be a go-er. The one area we probably actually had half decent squad depth, we're now only an injury to Pollock away from bad CB options... Can't really understand why we'd let him go unless he's on big wages.

    Yeah, came here to say this. Closer to home for Porteous too if that’s a factor in his mind.

    I was so optimistic when we signed him but he's the most kamikaze centre back I've seen here. There's aggression and then there's stupidity - then has the audacity to shout at everyone else.
