Transfer Rumour Justin Haak (12 Viewers)

[CovRes]

I spotted this story from a comment on BlueSky.

24 year old New York City defender becomes a free agent on Jan 1st and has been linked with us and Boro in the championship. Plus a number of other clubs.

I doubt it's a plausible link, but here's the article, Source: Justin Haak, NYCFC talks break down amid teeming free-agent market – amNewYork.

I vaguely remember his name coming up before. Not sure if it was a suggestion or link

Be great to have a centre back with a new york accent

I could see Lati moving on in January so it’s not impossible to believe we might want another centre half

Lati may well want to move on creating that need. I'm just not convinced that a 24 year old from the MLS would be ready to slot in straight away.

Just bumping strikers out the way shouting "Hey im walking here"

Agreed but I have never seen him play to be honest

 

[Flying Fokker]

He’s not going to play in red is he?

The need to replace someone who hasn’t played a single minute this season?

Bet the lad will jump at the chance to leave NY to come to cov to be 4th choice.

He's not leaving to become 4th choice is he, I'd imagine Frank isn't ear marking him as 4th choice. He replaces lati in the squad, and if he's better than either Thomas or Kitching he starts.

I do wish people would understand better the idea of competition or players having the self confidence to challenge for a starting position.

they literally do not understand the concept of an interchangeable squad.

they really think Lampard will sign a player to be 4th choice and tell them that

Or indeed in allowing the manager greater tactical flexibility.

I think Lampard would love to be in a position where the best 11 isn't actually that clear and everyone has to scrap for it. For the most part its pretty clear at the moment even though our bench is undeniably better than it has been in years gone by.

If we sign him he needs to grow the hair back

Doug can get those Haak hairbands at £5 a pop in the club store and he'd basically pay for himself

You want good competition in every position. Like any new signing he would have to fight for his place

 

[Shannerz]

Having a defender named Haak could be good, or at least amusing.

Perhaps we could find someone called Clogg to play alongside him.

 

[mmttww]

find someone called Clogg to play alongside him.

and their long term successor Høøfïtt for the U21s.

 

[Bertola]

16 MLS sides,
6 Bundesliga sides
Top 2 in the championship...

This sounds like an agent piece to get him a better deal offered to me

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Why are we being linked to absolute dross.

And not a very good agent piece either.

It's complete nonsense.

I wonder whether Popeye Doyle is available?

All right! You put a shiv in my partner. You know what that means? Goddammit! I'm gonna bust your ass.

Have you ever seen him play?

Dont need to. Ive made my mind up.
