Do we know who the young forward we are having on loan today is?
-
No
-
We don't BUT some do.
-
It can be difficult to get things over the line. :chair:
-
Announced at 2 so you won't be kept guessing for long.
-
Being announced at 14:00
-
Tiago Cukur
-
Season loan from Watford
-
6 foot 3 so imagine he won't have any trouble winning headers. Watford fans seem quite high on him, which is always a good sign!
-
Never heard of him but Watford fans seem to think he’s not too bad.
“Big, strong, mobile forward that’s a very good finisher. Has a bit of arrogance as well. Needs to sharpen technically and decision making, but that’ll come with game time in men’s football. Was only a year ago Roma wanted him“

Very young, very untested. He'll probably be a bit like Richards, unplayable in some games with great class but will need patience because he's only young and not played senior football before.
-
We don’t know much, if anything, about this lad, but at 6’3” is certainly the right size to be presenting a problem for L1 defenders. Mobile and comfortable playing anywhere across the front line, he looks and sounds like a prospect. The only downside I can see is that he’s untried at any EFL level, so he’s an interesting one to look out for.
So, another potential good signing by RW, but it sounds like we’ve nothing, or very little, left in the budget, which is astounding! We have 3 loan slots left, but we know that one of them will be a keeper, so only 2 outfield loanees left to get in.
It’s looking like Ben Blythe may be going on loan to Spennymoor and then we’re left wondering if Ed Williams can find himself a Club, such that funds can be freed up to get anyone else in.

You say that, but Neil Campbell was 6"3 also.

First Turkish player to play for the club?

Hakan Hayrettin and Tarkan Mustafa were English-Turkish. Looks like Cukur was born in Amsterdam too, so not 100% Turkish.

Played for Turkey U21’s

True story.

And Erdem Artun.
By the way Hakan Hayrettin was on our books but I don't think he actually made a first team appearance

The Hornets have the option of recalling the player in January 2022 should they wish to.

Pretty standard I think, they want to bring them in for some tests and potentially send them higher if they can manage.
-
Looks a big strong boy!
I'm sure he'll be welcomed and encouraged by our faithful!
-
I'm sure Hoden has the Turkish Delight headlines written up and ready to go for whenever he scores.
-
The important thing is we have competition for places and a strong bench is needed for that.
Squad taking shape now and Alan you really do not need to get wound up about the budget.
The board will support the manager as they always have in a sensible way.
We will be fine.
Quite happy with top 12 this season. That is the 1st time I have ever said that.
But you just never know how well we might do.
There are a good number of clubs with finances in a poor state who have supporters expecting a top 2 finish this season. Going to be several clubs who do not achieve anywhere near top 2 and it is the Clubs who are well run like DRFC that could be their nemesis.
-
I’m just looking forward to seeing proper footy again, win, lose or draw.
-
just seen his arrival video and I have to say he's done his cliché training..... I wish him well - I hope he scores a bucketful.

Astounding? Really?
We’ve signed some very good players,

It's all ballax to be fair.

Not disputing that, Dickos. Where does it say I have?
Major rebuild not complete yet and we’re having to clear yet more out? It doesn’t sit right with me.

Hopefully he can become TOP CAT here
now we dont want T.C. doing a "Bamford" do we .... meaning scoring so many goals before Christmas that he moves to a Championship club do we .
"On 1 July, Chelsea extended Bamford's loan to MK Dons until 5 January 2014.[22] Bamford scored 14 league goals in 23 appearances for MK Dons during this six-month period, and thus received speculation that he would be sent on loan to a club at a higher level. On 31 December, Karl Robinson confirmed that Bamford would not be returning to MK Dons after his loan deal expires.[23] This club was later announced as Derby County. He made his last appearance for Milton Keynes on 4 January 2014, where he scored his 17th goal of the season in the closing stages of a 3–3 draw against the holders Wigan Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup.[24]
Loan to Derby County
On 3 January 2014, Derby County confirmed the signing of Bamford on a loan until the end of the season."

It's the same every year,but I reckon it may be more that,the board wisely don't want it banded around,we've enough available if the right player becomes available,then said parties often get greedy.Also,its a good excuse,to try and move dead wood on without making the players concerned look not good enough for prospective takers,a kind of business acumen.

Think you've hit the nail on the head. I don't understand why we'd want to go round telling everyone who'll listen we've got money to spend. Asking to be ripped off.
Just look at what happened with Bale and Suarez were sold - Spurs and Liverpool were sold shite at massively inflated prices because everyone knew they'd got an absolute fortune to spend on top of their regular millions.

For the middle of July, this has been the best summer of recruitment we’ve had for a very long time

This. Although to be fair it needed to be, but that doesn't change the fact we've done some great business with more to come no doubt, despite the talk about the budget running low.

It’s a good starting XI:
Jones
Knoyle
Williams
Anderson
Rowe
Smith
Close
Bostock
Taylor
Fejiri
Hiwula

It is if Taylor and Fej are fit for the first game. Would like a DM in there if better than the ones we’ve got.
-
Cukur might be involved, if he’s as promising as RW makes him sound. Ideal stand in for Fej?
-
It’s a bit strange we’ve heard nothing on Fej’s injury situation, whether he’s out for a long or short time and how he’s progressing, unless I’ve missed it?

i don't think Clownshoes ever had the slightest problem in winning headers, to be fair - it was the fact that he had little or no ability to direct the ball after it had contacted his bonce that was more of an issue... ;)

Tiago looked decent can hold the ball up, has a look of Richarlison
