He has only 1 year left on the contract. As we probably don’t want to extend (given we’d want someone with better ball playing capabilities) we have no choice but to sell him else he’ll go for free next summer.

Yeah second tweet gives me a bit more optimism, mind you doesn't reference the midfield problem
And that could happen to a player with a perfect injury record too. Athletes get injuries. Mount is a perfect example as he’d had no injury concerns until the season before he joined us and has now had 18-20 months of injury hell. It happens just as players can have a bad year or two and then be fine for several seasons.
I think / I'm hoping that it's just his way of saying that the ability of the current players isn't the issue, just the threat of injuries and squad depth.
He's saying we could do with incomings, and are working on them, but doing it in a way that isn't criticising the ability of our existing group.
I don’t think so. I think it’s moreso that he’s alluding to the fact of last season when we had a huge injury list, we did not have a good enough squad depth to handle an injury crisis like the one we had. That resulted in us having to play numerous players out of position.
Didn't Ornstein say that AWB has already rejected West Ham ?
Not as direct as that, but he preferred Inter yeah
Don’t really get the chasing of a right back over a left back for now. I’d be happy with 3 signings, CB, Midfielder and a left back.
A bonus midfielder would be great also if we sold Casemiro or Mctominay.
Seems like we will be signing a right back though.

Kadioglu makes so much sense at LB
I think this BM player can play both RB and LB. He's just got a horrendous injury record.
Feck, that's half the season.

Who was it towards the end of the season where AWB received the ball unmarked in the box, all he had to do was shoot but shat his pants and passed it on to someone else?
Aside from Vanderson who seems lower priority, that list of rbs isn't encouraging imo.
Shaw “hold my fecking coat amateurs!”
I'm no fan of AWB but agree on Dumfries. I really don't see why we'd be interested in him. I don't think he's what we need either.
Both Mazraoui and Ferdi can play on the left or right. Considering we really need both a RB and LB but realistically are only getting one this window, a player with versatility like that is exactly who we should be after.
Dumfries is a beast, but also technically limited. A straight swap for AWB would be tempting though.
Pity we can't do some sort of deal with Fenerbahce involving Kadioglu and Lindelof
Athletes get injuries true. But you dont go and get one who is already having injury toubles. If you get a healthy player and their injury record gets bad when signed to you there is nothing that could have been done.
Don’t know if I’ve missed it on here but are Inter even interested in AWB? Thought it was more that AWB didn’t want a transfer to West Ham and would opt for one abroad instead.
Ornstein specifically mentioned that AWB wanted Inter. I doubt AWB suddenly woke up feeling like he wanted to go to Inter of all clubs so he must have had some sort of indication that they were interested.
If Darmian could make it work at Inter, I don’t see why AWB couldn’t as well
AWB's game would be well suited for Serie A - he will thrive there
Good deal for him.....best team in Greece
Bit quiet on the ins front at the min isn’t it?
They will be until we sell a player or more/Bayern lower their demands/PSG bring in Neves (even then, I doubt we'll see much movement on Ugarte until later on in the window).
Are you not entertained reading that Shoretire is moving to Greece?
Hopefully things will pick up as we get closer to season start when the players we are chasing/looking to sell start to return to training.
Really? Weird move if you ask me. I know his dad or whatever is on here, but how can we say this is a good move for him?
Why is it not a good move for him? What would a good move be?
It’s hardly a competitive league. If he’s had interest from teams in England and Spain, surely you would prioritise those? Sure we don’t know what package or promise of game time these teams offered him, but going to Greece at this stage in his career feels like career suicide.
He's moving to a lovely city to play for a club that's regularly in UEFA competitions and pays decent money. Sounds like a good move to me, especially after a couple of years stagnating in the U21s and having less-than-stellar loan.
Some decent clubs in England and other 'Big 5' leagues have recruited from there in recent years too, so it's not like he's going completely off the grid either.
Good luck to the lad, hasn't managed to kick on but he's still young and not everyone breaks through in their teens. Hope he has a good time out there
That’s a weird take. Surely getting regular minutes is the number one priority. He wouldn’t get that at a higher level in England or Spain.
As long as he’s able to build himself a career in professional football, however it comes, it’s not a career suicide.

He is underrated with his forward play is AWB. Proper defender and a good back up.
His contract runs out much summer, so they'd rather swap him out now instead of lose him for nothing and have to buy a backup anyway
A good recent example of a similar path is Marcus Edwards. He could easily have a similar journey by prioritising first team football. Just lay off the gyros put there, even though they are fecking delicious.
