Might be rubbish but link on Twitter to Dutch born midfielder Edwin Gyasi who plays for Aalesund FK in Norway.


This sounds like absolute bollocks

I saw him play in the last live game I watched (1-1 with Brann in late May when I was over there for work)  He scored the equaliser.  Looked pretty quick and had decent feet but the step up in quality from that league is huge and there was nothing I saw that suggested he was too good to be there.

I can't fathom why a centre forward wasn't the first signing made in July. Unless the one he wants isn't available yet.

If Wood goes to Burnley, what chance Volkes comes to us?

Slim to none? They're signing a striker to replace Gray, I don't think they're going to ship out their only other one.

Imagine taking Ulloa and Bakar Sakho from leicester and palace. That would really set us up. If jack colback or Snodgrass can play left back one of them  can come too.
Ship out a few then we happy days !

After seeing how much better we function as a team with a centre forward that provides a focal point for the attack, Gallagher or similar before the deadline is a must. Hourihane has come out and said Davis by making it stick allowed him the freedom to get forward and it makes sense that at 19 he may not be consistent this season, so a backup for his type of player is needed.

Oh and a left sided defender please!

Absolutely agree about Gallagher or a player like him.  On top of that, I think a left sided player who can play wide left and cover left back would be ideal (someone like Robbie Brady for example though he won't be going anywhere).

With the addition of one player, a strong, mobile striker type we would have two players for every position on the pitch, with the addition Hogan and McC if we wanted to play a traditional two up front.

Good. I'd rather Davis develop than one of Southampton's players.

SSN report Blose have just signed Carl Jenkinson (RB) and Cohen Bramall (LB) on loan from Arsenal. Nothing about Gallagher anywhere.
