The team has been crying out for pace for years now. Every transfer window since the start of 2019 fans have been asking for attacking midfielders and strikers with some speed.
Peterborough always seem to have a new wonderkid ready to be sold for £5-10m and they don't recruit from abroad.
The difference is they're happy to splash £250k on the National League/L2's newest starlet (Ronnie Edwards, Jack Taylor, Dembele) whereas we're much more conservative.
Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Swansea, Barsley and Hudds are the clubs Sky Sports have linked with O'Riley. We're at least a better proposition than the last two in that list, but would be tough trying to compete with Bournemouth and the others.
I'm sorry but if there are players having to isolate for 10 days because they're not vaccinated then they should lose wages for those 10 days.
If I couldn't do my job for 10 days at a time because of a choice I made I'd expect a bollocking and some sort of punishment.
Can they afford what it would take to buy him? They paid a couple of fees in the summer but doesn't seem like any were close to even £500k.
Balogun on loan from Arsenal could be a nice replacement though.
