    In all honesty it sounds like Holsgrove would be a bit of a punt. Nothing other than some largely irrelevant stats given the league he’s playing in. Jones wants him though we’ve been told so I guess if he does go to QPR then we can consider it a serious missed target. Surely the fee can’t be anywhere near £3.5 million I’ve seen bandied about.
    Also, can't even get in the Scotland squad, and they're awful.
    And Lloyd Jones can't even get in the Wales squad...
    Been through this on the Lloyd Jones thread but he’s not eligible
    How’s he managed to play for wales youth teams but not be eligible? 
    It's because he made a switch and you can only switch once

    Don’t want to derail this thread completely, the finer details are on the Lloyd jones thread but fifa rules only enable one switch regardless of age level. Lloyd has made his switch and so can’t just switch back. Occasional special dispensation will be allowed if a player is very very young but very unlikely to be applicable in Lloyd’s case and FAW will likely have tried.

    Leeds reportedly offered £15m!!
    I'd have kicked him out the door myself for that. But heard they pulled out of that. I couldn't say for sure - just heard that from other fans.
    I heard he didn't want the Southampton move. Again, could just be rubbish. Maybe he didn't want Leeds either. Perhaps he's very local?
    Just a guess really.

    You're still a mile off. Just in the not so distant past we've had Yassin Moutaouakil, Lee Cook, Dean Sinclair, Izale McLeod, that version of Andy Gray, Matt Spring, Tresor Kandol, Keith Gillespie, Graeme Murty, Martin Cranie, Tom Soares, Salim Kerkar, Danny Seaborne, Eggert Jonsson, Abdul Razak, Simon Church, Loic Nego, Polish Pete, Reza, Yohann Thuram, Marcus Tudgay, Davide Petrucci, Franck Moussa, Oguchi Onyewu, Christophe Lepoint, George Tucudean, El-Hadji Ba, Christian Ceballos, Bergdich, Vaz Te, McAleny, Makienok, Rhys Williams, Yaya Sanogo, Hemed, Ledley, David Davis, Matt Smith, all at Championship level. And that's not even all the absolute creatures we've had to suffer at this level. JRC hasn't had a lot of opportunities and it doesn't look like he fits in that well with Jones' style but that performance against Coventry alone puts him ahead of the majority of these immediately. There's more to come from JRC, whether or not Jones can fully extract it I don't know, but my God. One of the worst? When Salim Kerkar exists? Behave.
    I honestly thought Yassin Moutaouakil was going to be a £4-5million pound player going into bigger and better things after his first couple of games. Then he got terminated away at Stoke City and was never the same player again. 
    Not sure about 4-5 million but looked a very classy player ................ until stoke. That game was televised wasn't it ?

    I think Holsgrove has been mentioned again on the rumours thread to give us something to moan about when it doesn't happen. It's all going far too well right now and we're going to feel so lost without something disappointing to temper it 
    Golfie ........... here's your chance mate  :D

    If Holsgrove is off on the motorway to another club, Nathan Jones needs to give Curbs a bell and find out how he intercepted Claus Jensen at the services on the way to Ipswich. Don’t know if many people know that story.
    Pray tell (please)

    Peterborough looked decent at Vicarage Road. Wonder how much they’d want for Harry Leonard.

    If there are fans who are genuinely annoyed we didn’t land Holsgrove after, jones TC, and apparently Ramsay signing new deals + the signings we’ve made. 

    Convinced they could be married to Margot Robbie and wouldn’t be satisfied because they also want dua lipa at the same time

    I was also absolutely convinced that we had a top player, he skipped passed opponents so easily. 

    Mind you, I had similar thoughts about Vetokele, so what do I know?

    Having said that, Lennie Lawrence thought the same about Andy Jones, so I wont beat myself up too much.

    Vetokele never recovered from that Achilles injury.  He was amazing for 10 games or so.  
    And then we had to continue playing him through said injury because we didn't have any depth up front (a recurring Roland theme)

    typo. I think he means Dual IPA, right? as in Double IPA?

    I was listening to NTT20 talk about him, basically saying that he was as good if not better than Jimmy Jay Morgan who is lighting it up for WBA when they both played for Peterborough last year. It’ll be an interesting one to see where he ends up

    If Blackburn were smart they'd have put a buy back clause in his deal. But it's Blackburn so they probably didn't.

    Thank you....ah now I understand, he's got this Margot lady but also fancies a bevvy!  At first I misguidedly thought it was some sort of weird sexual practice...Ooops!

    Remember going to a Phil Parkinson Q&A at the Valley and he was asked what was up with Moutaouakil, why this amazing player wasn’t in our team. He said something along the lines of Yassin’s talent is unbelievable but it’s impossible to get him to do anything. Something like “you try telling him to run from A to B and he just won’t do it”

    Wasn’t he very close to another player’s mum too?

    Spurs are not waiting until tomorrow for signings one yesterday and maybe one today why should we wait for JRS?.He was at our training ground yesterday.
