Oh.............wait.

With MP out for 4 months, Grady playing for DRC in AFCON Fellows should be stepping up now and taken off the transfer list. I fear Leicester are preparing a bid for the lad though.

Interesting Morgan Rogers playing for Boro against us shows exactly what of our youngsters can do given the chance.
Another lesson on why we should give our youth a chance.
With AFCON almost here who are we going to be losing while the tournament is on.

Links with Strikers at Liverpool and West Ham. Will update when I can. But I am off to the US today for a week of meetings (not to meet WBA investors) and not sure when I will get time.

So Brighton have loaned Sarmiento to Ipswich Town for the rest of the season, what 'TF' is going on there? He comes to us on a season long loan, gets recalled by Brighton, 'supposedly because of their injury problems' then gets immediately loaned back out to Ipswich??? Did they not think he was starting enough? Will he start more at Ipswich? Does someone know someone or something?

I read this as a positive thing.

I think CC was not that impressed with him and wanted to release the loan up so he could get a different type of player that met his style and need.

Not that the player is poor. But just that he was not suited to what we need, injuries etc, to get to end of season.

If that were the case and I were Brighton, I would be more than a little peeved at the way the club were portraying it, as Brighton had recalled him when he was on a one year deal. There was also comment about it being to do with their injury list, personally I am not overly sorry to see him go, I found him to be 1 minute of brilliance to 9 minutes of not so positive things.

The biggest positive IMO is it gives our youngsters more opportunities. They proved against Aldershot they are very capable.
