I doubt it is, we have probably lost out elsewhere and now the bottom of the barrel has been reached. And people said Grant could easily be replaced. Yeah, right.Redrobo said:
Similar in what way? Plays football? Because that is where the similarities end. Grant scored goals. I find it hard to believe that this is the deal that has taken Bows and Gals all month to bring together.BR7_addick said:
Same journalist saying he’s similar to grant and can also play wide.BR7_addick said:Jonathan Leko mentioned by some small time journalist type on twitter who covers West Brom and the West Midlands, said likely if they get a winger in, and they’ve just confirmed Sterling from Tottenham having medical, so this could be the genuine rumour we’ve been waiting for.

I’m still hoping for Eisa, even though I don’t really know anything about him.Redrobo said:

It isn't that he couldn't easily be replaced, but with a little bit of money.0

I have got a lot of respect for Bowyer and I like him as a manager on Chris Powell levels. But if our replacement for Grant is an inexperienced loan signing from West Brom and Lee tries to sugar coat it I'll be fucking fuming.
I have to stop falling for this shit, lapped up the takeover gossip let down, took on board what Cawley said about a permanent and a loan and it's looking like we will be let down again.
Shit show, best chance of us going up in 3 seasons and we are not taking it5 -
But we got to see a premier League striker for 6 months, surely that is enough?Braziliance said:I have got a lot of respect for Bowyer and I like him as a manager on Chris Powell levels.

It been pretty much the only insightful comment in the last 10-15 pagesAFKABartram said:Genuinely think players have lost the ability to play test cricket. Most have given their wicket away and the one still out there is treating it like a 20:20

Leko would feel like a Doodoo signing2

Fair comment but then we have the loans and the contracted player who would be released if he could be because of wages - Sarr - and one who probably only got a two-year deal to suppress his wages - Pratley.Exiled_Addick said:
To be fair, only a handful of those should clearly have been on new deals before the start of the season, for a number of them it is as much in the club's favour to potentially be able to release them at no cost in the summer. Tying players down on long contracts is great when everything goes according to plan, but as we've seen many times since getting relegated from the PL, you can quickly get lumbered with a lot of deadwood you can't shift off the wage bill, which in turn can seriously hamper efforst to bring new player in.Airman Brown said:

I keep saying this, yes Roland is useless and we all want him gone, but you cant blame him for every little detail.
Whoever our owner was would have sold Grant and more than likely before a replacement was brought it as the offer was there, they cant wait incase he got injured or Huddersfield found another target.
People who wait for replacements are usually loans not permanent deals.
Had Grants contract not been about to expire we could of either kept him or sold him for more money
Young players
Joe Aribo, Good player, valuable asset, should've been tied down.
Tariqe Fosu Good player, valuable asset, should've been tied down.
Reeco Hackett-Fairchild Young player, unproven
George Lapslie Young player, unproven before this season
Dillion Phillips (24 in June) Young player, unproven before this season
Senior players
Nicky Ajose Not wanted at club
Patrick Bauer Refused to sign new deal agitating for move that never happened. Doubtful he'll resign unless we get promoted.
Billy Clarke Badly injured, possibly not rated by Bowyer, higher earner.
Jake Foster-Caskey Badly injured, although very likley wanted and probably should've been tied down before his injury.
Mark Marshall Getting on, struggled to make an impact, higher earner, always likely to released.
Ben Reeves Struggled to make an impact, higher earner, jury was out at start of season.
Igor Vetokele Always injured, big wages, always likely to released.
New short-term deal
Jonny Williams Only signed in January.
Duchatelet is unlikely to spend any money on fees whatsoever, so we are left with what, exactly, beyond Solly, Dijksteel, Page, Pearce and Taylor?

Well Sarr is a classic example of the perils of giving out long term contracts for unproven players. To be fair, at least he is now making a positive contribution, although it has been a long time coming and has not yet paid back the financial burden his contract has put on the club (not blaming him in any of this, btw). KM got burnt by the Poyet situation, which to be fair she inherited from the Spivs, and then her knee-jerk reaction was to give out excessively long deals which was swinging the pendulum too far the other way. However, now we're back to the situation we had with Poyet, only it's Grant and, particularly, Aribo now. Like so much with this regime, even when they are actually trying to do the right thing they just can't find that sweet spot.Airman Brown said:
