This is where I think we'll be spending a fair amount of money if we do at all. Grimes is so important to how we play and has looked jaded in his last few appearances.
It's telling that his club in Sweden were quick to say 'nothing to see here, he passed his medical, Olympiakos fucked around'. Then the player tells some long winded story about Olympiakos only wanting to pay him every 3 months. Lastly on the Greek side there's claims the deal fell through at or just following the medical.My Manneh's on a underlying detrioraiting heart condition, that gets picked up at more complex/advanced medicals. I guess these medicals have some form of NDAs protecting the player if something medically concerning is found.
It's a different kettle of fish, if the player is fraudulently claiming a younger age. The would go straight to the authorities, surely.
I can believe that Greeks messed him about tbf, especially Fat Tony at Olympiakos, but the fact this keeps on happening... its definitely not pushing wages at this point, there's only so many times an agent can fuck that up.It's telling that his club in Sweden were quick to say 'nothing to see here, he passed his medical, Olympiakos fucked around'.

I mean, just look at him. He looks 10 years older than the age he says he is.I can believe that Greeks messed him about tbf, especially Fat Tony at Olympiakos, but the fact this keeps on happening... its definitely not pushing wages at this point, there's only so many times an agent can fuck that up.
Kinda love that a random Gambian bloke in his mid 30s can rock up in Sweden and win the league though.I mean, just look at him. He looks 10 years older than the age he says he is.
However, if we had uncovered proof that his age couldn't be verified I assume we'd have reported it. So perhaps it is just an underlying medical condition.

Even the Olympiakos fans, who know full well their owner's a crook, don't believe his story about only being offered payment every 3 months. None of the other players at Mjallby are attracting anywhere near this much apparent transfer interest, which tells me they also know what the problem is with him and want a big payday before it reveals itself.Yeah, definitely. He has been whored around many clubs by the sounds of it, yet not one has signed him.
He has had one standout season, and they claim he is 19. This is the team that has one of the lowest budgets in the Allsvenskan, and Mjällby is basically a small fishing village. I reckon their owner wants to try and make some quick money and has been rumbled! The comments since about him not leaving, leaving, not leaving again, plus some strange rhetoric about the medical in Greece has all my conspiracy alarms fired up!
First time i've thought about David Hopkin in a while.Gives me some hope mate, I can still join the elite list of ginger footballers
Paul Scholes
Adam Bogdan
That guy with no teeth who played for Leeds

Yeah he thought he was back in a third world country again.
Highly unlikely we look at George now, after signing 2 wingers on loan. Shame. He will go to a Prem club anyway.
George can play on both wings, at CAM and upfront.A 3rd winger makes no sense.
Would be interesting to know if there was genuine interest in George - I'd imagine if there was we didn't want to hold out while he twerked for a move to a bottom-half Prem club
George can play on both wings, at CAM and upfront.
He's a real utility player, and instantly fills the role of any loan wingers when they go back at the end of the year should we go up.
DisappointingLampard has already confirmed he doesn’t intend to further strengthen the forward areas in this window ….. next
Disappointing
Although Lampard said nothing was in the pipeline then we went and signed 2 players the following week.
Even that article gives a different age.This interview he gave with African press just after it fell through is just bizarre and the opposite of what the Greek journalist reported.
Manneh's transfer drama: fake failed medical and pressure from Olympiacos
Gambian midfielder Abdoulie Manneh has firmly denied reports claiming his highly anticipated move from Swedish side Mjällby AIF to Greek giants Olympiacos FC collapsed due to a failed medical.footy-africa.com
Correct, and I know I may be in the minority of one about this but I do not think we need more forwards. Asante is on the mend, Simms has not been off the boil, he may not be everyone's cup of tea but he does a job. Wright did exactly the same last year, went off the boil only to re-emerge and hopefully he does the same again. As well as that we have goals coming from elsewhere.Lampard has already confirmed he doesn’t intend to further strengthen the forward areas in this window ….. next
He was '21' when that was written.Even that article gives a different age.
23 this time
If he can’t get near that shite West Ham team then he won’t improve usI think we had already moved on from Manneh and gone to Minny. We still need a couple more to improve the group and think we may get them.
If Andrews gets a loan and Bidwell or Brau get a move a defender and CM come in. I just seen Andy Irwing at West ham could be available, he is a player that can play multiple CM roles. I just dont know if he improves us or is better than what we have.

Id be all over that, fuck it bring him backA mere £6m...
He said he didn’t expect to bring in another forward saying he was really happy with what he got. It was a classic non answer to a questionHave you got the link to this?
