What happened to Manneh from Mjallby, thought it was a done deal?

I think there are many clubs after him, agent will get the best deal which will take a while. Also rumours that Portsmouth had somewhat agreed a deal back in the Summer but he sure as hell won’t be going there.

Think his agent and the club are messing us about so we’ve probably moved on

It’s more about squad balance. When BTA is back (Jan) where does Piroe play? If he does play what happens to the squad dynamic. I’m sure we have plans elsewhere which I would prioritise.

There are no guarantees BTA comes back and hits form straight away. Whoever is playing better starts. BTA has shown he can play on the wing, down the middle in the 10.

What other plans do we have? The key thing thats faltering is our attack

Looks like his agent is still beavering away trying to get the biggest deal possible. Like when we "agreed" to sign Stamenic.

To be fair I think the big plus for Piroe would be his link up play. Something which isn’t really Haji or Simms biggest strength which would enable other in our squad. I think on loan it would be a clever pick up

Add the above to the original Guardian story ( almost direct from Doug) and the fact that John Percy is fairly reliable, it feels like we are not hanging about here and that this is the most proactive we have been since we sold Vic.

When we see rumours from multiple websites check the source because most of them are just repurposing one single websites story.

The Esse is a classic. The story is originally ran by a very credible journalist and then multiple other websites are running it but it’s still based on that one journalist tweet.

Multiple sources doesn’t mean it’s any more credible in the modern world.

We wont sign Piroe. Someone is going to pay a ridiculous loan fee and possibly an obligation to buy permanently. Can see a Leicester or a Birmingham panic buying.

Well yes but the more credible websites would only quote more serious sources- it’s when you can’t find a genuine source it’s usually bullshit.

No doubting his ability more the fit.

We already have 3 capable strikers on the books for a 1 striker system, would have to change the style we play to accommodate him somewhat & he's on (relatively) large wages. More than that though, I'd be very surprised if Leeds allowed him to go out on loan without an obligation to buy.

Well we may need to pay a ridiculous loan fee. He would help the team.

The Esse link is obviously credible but doesn't say it's a done deal

There's multiple sources reporting we are going to be busy this month

At this stage it all looks very promising IMO but we are still working on breadcrumbs really.

Piroe would be unreal! Esse is exactly the type of winger we need, let’s just hope someone else doesn’t offer better terms, we must get him over the line

Not actually sure there are- having someone with lots of recent experience and success in the league would be very handy.
