Paintsil deal sounds dead - allegedly because Leeds met an asking price then Genk moved the goalposts.
Amiri can't decide so move on.
I don't mind if we don't get either now - Paintsil indicative that we won't be held to ransom now after Orta - we met your fee you changed your mind went back on it that's your prerogative. Amiri - as Farke and Cooper say - either you want to be here or you don't. End of.
Lewis O'Brien offer them £7m all in now or a 500K loan fee with £9.5m deal contingent on us going up and O'Brien having started 20+ games (if the lad breaks a leg halfway through or turns out to be Eunan O'Kane the club need some protection. Lower up front fee and clauses reflect this.
Luke Thomas has one yr left and Phil Hay seems to think we're interested in him.
Offer them £5m now or again a 500K loan and we have first rights to negotiate a permanent deal for him. Personally I'd almost rather we paid £5m now for him - if he does well we'd fight with other clubs as he approaches free agency.
Djed Spence and Glen Kamara could also be possible deals.
Seems nailed on that Drameh is going if we're so keen on Spence.

Talk now is that Amiri flew in to the uk today and Paintsil is still on.
His issue is with Genk and an unpaid loyalty bonus.
IF we can get these 2 and another midfielder lb and Rb I mean Tomas and Spence! Wow we sure as hell won the window in this last week.
I can still see one of sini or Willy going though.

Looks like Amiri is off.

Back on. All within the hour.

That guy has decision making issues, hope it doesn't affect how he plays, should I pass, no I won't bother, yes I will, nah.
