Agyemang Badu

Stoke have dropped interest in him. Maybe this has something to do with Tozser?

 

Have they? Looks like the press are saying so because they've signed Shaquiri ... who's a winger. We'll see.

 

According to reports Stoke have dropped their interest in Badu. They are also supposedly targeting Stambouli now.

 

lol now he's signed for Stoke. Wish the journos would get their facts straight.

 

Maybe only say this when it's actually confirmed, or state a source.

Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports saying Stoke were never interested in Badu.

All gone v quiet re badu? Could he be the DM cover we need ?

 

I don't want to be accused of unnecessary excitement but his dad (his agent) tweeted a pic from the training ground an hour ago

Looks like this could still be on. Would love this to be true.

 

We can sign him up to 8pm tonight, if certain paperwork is in place by 6. You never know with the Pozzo's

 

He is his agent but he's not his dad, he's only about 30 years old! Papa is his first name rather than his position within the family...

 

Bit late ain't it? Getting deja vu from the last time the bloke was chatting on Twitter.

 

Won't we have to drop someone else from the 17?

 

easy... belkalem

 

Pozzos will do the old release/free transfer I reckon

 

No news so presume this didn't happen ?

 

maybe pop he just popped in to see Gino for a coffee

 

Yep. The fact that we wanted Doucoure as well as Guedioura backs this up. Badu will just mysteriously appear sometime this week.

 

If he comes it may well be as a loan in 2 weeks time when loan window opens .however our squad list has to be in before then doesnt it ?

 

nope

prem teams can't loan in outside the window

 

There's no loan window.

 

I'm sure Papa Agyemang is a bit of a super agent for African players or those of African descent. Entirely possible that he was representing Oulare, I think I saw a photo with him and Obbi holding the shirt up.

 

Quite possible, or maybe they were considering Badu as a possible Pep/Doucouré backup? They do like having an option or 3, them Pozzos

 

Apparently he is going to make a decision in three weeks according to reports and announce whether he is staying at Udinese or joining us or Stoke.

 

Don't think we'd want him now.

 

How jolly nice of him!

Choose Stoke or Udinese mate - we have moved up and on!

 

No need to look him straight in the eyes. It's a no from me

 

Still waiting....

 

Has this news just arrived by carrier pigeon? This is exactly the summation of last year's rumours.

 

If only the weather in the summer was as predictable as us getting linked with Badu

 

As last year he's there as our ultimate back-up plan K in case we can't land any of our top 10 targets.

 

Do we really need another DM?

 

Yes because all our current ones are off to Espanyol!

 

Haven't we been linked with him in each of the four previous summers under the Pozzos?

 

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a Hertfordshire club, in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a defensive midfielder.
