The 20-year-old joins Cheltenham on loan until January 2 and could be in line to make his debut tomorrow against Leyton Orient. Russell has played for England U20s.
I think it is better to blood a young CB at RB where a mistake is not necessarily a goal. Didn't Rufus start there? Brownie did. As for pace, it's like comparing British sprinters to Bolt. I'd guess Konsa is in top five of squad for speed. Probably better on the ball than Gomez who relies on accelleration to get out of trouble.
Konsa isn't ready for regular football. That's why our experienced manager is signing cover for Solly. It's really pretty straightforward.
SHG have you seen him play? 18 yo players debut in Prem, many more in Champ and we are 3rd tier. He is better than Konch who started at a higher level aged 16, and many others.
Well I really hope he's fantastic. In Slade I trust.
Said Foley will get a deal to make up numbers, will be on the bench tomorrow, only till January for now. Expect at least another midfielder in by the home game.
Kevin Foley has signed a six month permanent contract.
Clever way to structure the deal, though I'm sure Foley will be disappointed. This means he's here for cover for the start of the season. It'll give a chance to play Konsa in the cup games. If he looks ready to provide cover at RB and CM, then Foley will be sent on his way in January. If not, I'm sure we can keep Foley through the end of the year.
Can't believe I've just complimented our handling of a transfer.
Absolutely baffling how people have forgotten Harriott's form at the end of last season where he was one of our most committed and dangerous players for struggling in some meaningless, fitness building pre season games. .
That really is damning with faint praise isn't it? He looked ok for parts of a few games when surrounded by inadequate disillusioned misfits in a side heading breakneck for relegation.
If Calamity holds down a first team place at Reading I'll be astonished, or they're heading for a swift relegation, or both.
He is only going to be a squad back up player, but a decent enough experienced player to come in and do a job rather than rely on the kids. Useful signing to go along side the very good signings of Holmes, Novak, Ajose, Crofts, Rudd and Pearce.
surprised Foley took that unless it's play xx games and you get an extension. Would have thought he could have got longer elsewhere, unless he's that desperate to play for us/shagging Katie.

Solly / Foley on right
Fox / Holmes-Dennis on left.
Just need 2 midfielders (one wide to replace Harriott) and a striker.
Assuming Tex goes and no more. Anyone else on top of Tex would need to be replaced.
Six month deals now count as permanent contracts!

Guessing it'll be like that.

Knew it was Racon and someone else.
