Sorba to Blackburn on loan, rumour on twitter.

I've asked and apparently this could well be true.

---

I mean i know he's been poor compared to last season but he's still our best creative option

[Lord Snooty]

If it is true, it's barmy!

Yes he's been out of form. So was Koroma. Did you see the goal he scored for the B team yesterday. Just like he's back to where he was two years ago.

Sorba to Blackburn on loan, rumour on twitter.

Gone!

This has all the alarm bells ringing that rang when we sold Aaron Mooy, we won't see Sorba wearing Town colours again.

When MF arrived at the club he couldn't blow enough smoke up Sorba's arse, full of praise for the lad, even when he was injured he was saying how much quality the lad had and yet here we are late January shoving him out of the door to a team at the top end of our division. We've not even sold him just loaned him so I doubt it financially benefits us, well i say that but I've no doubt the contract will have a clause to buy with a figure to be met in the summer.(Like we had with Sinani)

To quote the Blackburn Football of director
"One of the key focuses for this window was on players who can change a game, either in the opening stages or if the scoreline is close late on. Sorba is a game changer. His delivery and chance creation is excellent, both from open play and set-pieces, and he also has the pace to stretch a game."

He sounds like just the sort of player we should be signing!

and now i'm going to quote our "manager"
“Sorba is still a young player who is only in his second full season of professional football at this level, and adding consistency to his performances is something that will come with time. Given our focus of staying in the division, we need players who are ready to perform straightaway, so it is the best thing for both ourselves and Sorba that he goes out to try and find more regular minutes elsewhere.”

Does he mean players like Knockeart who arrived injured or does he mean players like Hungbo who has played 89 minutes for Watford this season.

Our January signings have come with a lot of praise but all i see is a cost cutting exercise, one that started in the summer
All players arriving on short term contracts so If we are relegated(we will be) they won't be around next season to cost us high wages
A player like Sorba on decent wages leaving, i fully expect one or two others out of the door before the window ends.

Next season we will be going with the kids that Bromby/Dean/Phil rated so highly but the majority have failed to deliver

Who hasn't arrived injured recently?

Ryan Schofield is back.

[WakeyTerrier]

By the sounds of it the keeper passed his medical (the 3rd one he has had in January having failed the other two elsewhere.)

[Lord Snooty]

Aaron Rowe gone to Stockport on loan.

Luke Mbetty gone back to Citeh.

---

Tomas Vaclik is the goalkeeper we're signing according to my sources (Sky Sports News).

Only been capped 53 times for the Czech Republic. Plays now for that tinpot Greek club that had Carlos for a short while.

---

Mbetty gone to Bolton now. Best of luck to the lad.

[WakeyTerrier]

Spencer, Mahoney,Schofield and Jackson all talking to clubs about loans. Diarra has turned down a loan move to Bradford.

Correct about the keeper, he’s already failed two medical this month but I’m told he’s managed to pass this and the deal is done
We’re still owed money by Olympiacos and that’s part of the reason he’s coming to us

[theo_luddite]

He seems to have made a career of failing medicals. Sky Sports News reported on a failed medical in 2011?!?! I found one this month at AZ Alkmaar (3rd Jan) any idea where the 2nd one was? One the good side, he knocked a few lumps off Christian Ronaldo in a Czech v Portugal Nations League clash last September that left the entitled one with a cut nose and a black eye. Commanding his area would not appear to be an issue.
