[SIGNED loan] Jamal Lewis

Well according to the Nigerian exclusive story, we aren’t yet banned from signing domestic players.

So with the international market supposedly off limits for now, let’s pull out all the stops to sign Lewis, Styles and anybody else decent from the British market...before the FA wake up!

 

Medical booked in for this one

 

I hope it's quicker than my neighbour waiting at the drop in clinic at QE2 for her insect bites!

She's been there since 5pm!

 

Loan or permanent? Interesting that the rumours of incomings seem to be heating up around the same time Sarr is leaving

 

Excellent. He hasn’t had an ACL injury, not past it, not sh1t and fat. Things are looking up.

 

Lewis might need the QE2 to get home for this medical as he’s in the USA isn’t he?

 

Still moving quicker than Pia and her insect bites!

 

I’m sure we can help him achieve most or even all of those things. At least 2 guaranteed… the fun is guessing which it’ll be.

 

Loan with option/obligation I believe. We wouldn’t pay his fee of £5m+ this summer

 

Great news, should be a top signing. Wonder if Wesley is going to end up being a nominal fee rather than loan, we’re nearly at our full allocation now!

 

If it’s a loan with an option, then it’s a decent signing. He’s lost his way at Newcastle and is not a Champions League player, so is surplus to them at that level. But he’s a good Championship player.

This would be the first player I’m pleased to be signing so far in this window.

 

Very strange he went on Newcastle’s USA tour wasn’t it, considering we were negotiating with them

I think they play in about three hours time, so it will be interesting to see if he’s been withdrawn

@YellowKicks good point. How many are we allowed? And do you think we might convert Martins to a permanent deal thanks to some trickery?

 

I think that you can have as many loans as you like but only have five in a match day squad. Think we had six last year

 

Not thrilled, honestly. Always looked average-to-poor when I saw him for Norwich.

Looking at the ‘average positions’ from the Palace friendly and I think Styles would suit us far better stylistically.

 

Yep, interesting to see whether Lewis plays inside like Morris was yesterday.

 

Could Styles still come in? We do need midfielders

 

Martins, and the likely arrivals of Lewis and Chakvetadze, I make it we'd be up to 3, anyone I'm missing?

 

There is always time.

 

Might have been them playing hardball - look like you're willing to walk away.

 

Is the striker from Villa still joining?

 

Don’t see how we can pay 40k+ per week for Wesley. Need Villa to help out.

 

You can have 8 with 5 in match day squad.

 

As far as I’m aware yes

 

Ok awesome. Did you get it confirmed as Wesley?

 

Yeah confirmed it is Wesley

 

Is it true that he has already had his medical and we’ve signed him for free on a permanent deal?

 

Not involved for Newcastle tonight.

 

Like paying another club actual money?

Unlikely.

 

Quick somone check flights from Philadelphia to Heathrow.

 

Imagine you’re in the States, played well for Newcastle in their last pre-season match, then you’re told you’ve got to go back home and sign for Watford. Ha’way the lad. Got to feel a bit sorry for him.

 

Just been seen on Clarendon Rd asking for directions to “The Vic”.

 

Not aware of any fee etc was just told that it’s done on Friday

 

By all accounts he was awful. But other than that, yes, it is some fall from grace.

 

@Goldenorn already all over this, but in terms of timeline he wasn't part of entire squad/staff taken a in the morning before the game yesterday which would suggest he was already on his way back to the UK.

First time I'd clicked on twitter for a while. It isn't twitter any more it's "X". Musk is so edgy. The ****.
