One of the normally trusted journalists (Burns or McGarry, can't remember which one) posted we had nothing to worry about regarding Biereth. We'll just have to wait and see. Both mentioned it. Arsenal haven't announced they've recalled him either. Having said that, he's Arsenal's player so I'd imagine circumstances could have changed in the time between those Tweets having been posted and now.

Archie McSquackle Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Did Arsenal not do something similar before with a player on loan at County who they recalled and loaned out to Hibs in January (presumably for more money)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal done it three times with Harry Clarke. He had a 12 month loan contract at County ended in January, then moved on loan to Hibs the same month on a 18 month loan deal. 6 months later they ended that loan deal so he could join Stoke on a 12 month loan, but that was cut short in January so they could sell him permanently to Ipswich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Biereth is not returning we need to get the credit card out . Groningen might ask for £5k a week so x 20 is £100k . Can we afford it ? Ordinarily absolutely not, but without Biereth can we afford not to try and do a deal and get KVV back? £100k is chicken feed compared to relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite impressive actually. I suppose they hold all the cards and can do whatever they want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'd be up for KVV coming back but on the proviso that there's a faceless Twitter account tells him he's shite as soon as the deal is signed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 4 hours ago, crazylegsjoe_mfc said: I think that summer we signed Kelly, for a small fee, on high wages, with the hope we would sell him and I reckon although the wages are probably a bit lower than Kelly's, it's probably a similar scenario with Slattery. He's got a high ceiling and a low floor for me. Prior to hearing about his injury, I thought the end of this season would have been a natural parting of ways. I'd imagine we put him at the higher end of the payscale on the gamble it would make us a transfer fee and now that hasn't come to fruition, I would question if renewing his contract at the same rank of the payscale that he's on currently would be worth it. As for insurance, I don't think it does if he gets injured on our watch. The only time I've heard of insurance coming in to play was when Saunders got injured for the season whilst on international duty with the under 21s and we were able to bring in Clancy for the season with the money. The insurance does exist, wether we have it or not though I dunno. Pretty costly endeavour probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Mika leaving would be....annoying. Maybe they saw the last couple of games and noticed he was getting told to play wide and on the fucking wing and thought...aye that's not what we wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Or they saw some of the games where we continually launched it over his head? There have been times when I've come out of games thinking 'Surely this isn't what Arsenal are looking for for his development '? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has quite a specific skillset. Top 3 i get, just by looking at previous top flight seasons, are Stephen Kelly, Craig Sibbald, and bizarrely Greg Kiltie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. It’s interesting to see those names as I wondered if Kelly’s name would be there when I posted that earlier especially as Slattery is currently out of contract at the end of the season and Martindale, weirdly, doesn’t seem to fancy Kelly now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 (edited) 15 hours ago, Marinello said: When it rains it pours! From an impeccable source I'm hearing Mika has in the last few days been down to Sunderland and a Sheffield team. Might be true but he was definitely in yesterday training with the rest of the squad. I mean they can recall him up until the end of the month I suppose. Would seem strange to send him back up the road for a few days just to bring him back. No sign of Slattery though, so the rumours might be true. On the plus side though Lennon Miller was back involved.

When you are that young injuries can heal quicker than say an old codger / player at 28. If Biereth is training with us it would seem strange if he had been anywhere near any other English clubs. Unless he stopped off there on the way back up the road. Hopefully positive that he is back in training 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yeah, it's difficult not to get carried away with rumours when there's nothing else happening transfer wise. That's all they are at this stage - rumours. Biereth and Slattery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure it is open to anyone attending the match as away fans get access also. The door to the Cooper Bar is on the far right as you approach the stand. The other end from the Club Shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked hopefully He's out of contract at the end of the season, so they wouldn't need permission, which I reckon goes in our favour. If they're not going to get a few for him, then surely they won't be too fussed about where he plays. I guess him training with them in the break might have been them gauging whether it's worth extending his deal or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
