C*nt chops going public and saying Dijksteel is not for sale is nothing more than a negotiation tactic, something he’s usually void of, if the cash comes he will accept let’s not beat around the bush. I hate this Belgian f*ckwad.
How after Wembley has he managed to make so many people miserable in such a short space of time. I really would celebrate the second I hear he’s been in an accident.
Oh and our relegation rivals Wigan just signed a player on loan from Wembley, we’re even struggling to get the loans in it seems.
This is not good, I wouldn't mind as much if we knew it would be reinvested, also the potential Anfernee has should outweigh any of this. Roland being Roland will obviously accept anything around this figure. Sad times, also still would have liked to see him in his original role CDM
What I will say is that Oshilaja seems to have good presence and energy and will be a bugger of a competitor, but Dijksteel certainly has ball-carrying abilities he doesn't. But there's still a question mark over Dijksteel's passing and crossing. Obviously we'd still want to keep him
Oshilaja was signed with half a mind on the sale of Dijksteel I think
Was about to write exactly this. The fact that Oshilaja started at the base of the midfield on Saturday is, unfortunately, telling. It means we're at least preparing for losing Dijksteel. Dijksteel came through as a CB and defensive midfielder. It's a testament to his technical ability and athleticism that he slotted in so well at RB second half of last year. But I still find it unbelievable that he's played in midfield only once. Yes, there are some questions over his passing, but Oshilaja looked well out of place.
I long ago prepared myself for the fact that we would start this season with a significantly weaker first team and squad than the one we ended last season with.

I think Dijksteel will probably go but the Villa game doesn’t suggest that either way. Bowyer’s clearly never seen Dijksteel as midfielder, while Oshilaja needs game time.

If we had a normalish owner I would say it might be worth selling Dijksteel in order to ensure we get the players we need over the line. The worst part is we'll probably sell him on deadline day for a couple of million and never see that money reinvested into the playing squad, so we'll lose out twice

Dijksteel, Lockyer, Sarr, Purrington
Oshilaja
Pratley, F.Caskey
Williams
Bonne, Taylor
That's our only sensible option given what we have available surely?
Do you know if we have tabled a contract offer yet?
Congrats...
Bowyer seems to be set on 3-5-2 for this season and I’m pretty certain that’s how we’ll play on Saturday as it’s a bit more defensively sound.
Thanks Roland.
