Remember Wesley Verhoek?

To be fair no one remembers Wesley Verhoek... not even ADO the side we tried to sign him from - always funny that homesickness was apparently cited as a reason for not joining us but he later moved to play in India..

Clearly aiming right on the precipice of what we're able to get. Arguably a good thing when they come off but a dangerous game if they fall through and we end up having to make do and play kids that may not be ready.

I guess the abundance of loans highlights how we haven't got these across the line. Hopefully if we begin to improve it might be easier to charm some our way.

Wasn't that Ribiero's reasoning for not resigning? The same Ribiero who recently signed in Poland.

Homesickness / ˈhəʊmˌsɪknəs

A feeing of not wanting to play for Nottingham Forest because they are shit.

Agent clearly used Forest to get his lad a move. Shame but glad we moved on to new targets quickly.

Didn't ever really feel that concrete with us did it? There were a few stories but it always felt they were reported on via another story.

I don't think either of the Taylor's ever said he was close to signing for us.

I think we did have a bid accepted, but the player himself kept his options open as he didn't really fancy playing in the Championship. I don't blame him to be fair, he's got himself a decent move after all.

Fair play to the club for trying, they did everything they could within reason to try and bring a really good player to the club.

Leaked by the Sparta side telling the world a few has been agreed and that he is heading to England to sign ASAP.

So basically if anyone else is interested you need to be quick and get in touch. It worked as he got his move to a Serie A side, but it feels like we got played from the start.

He was going to Galatasaray yesterday, now Sassuolo today. This bloke obviously loves the attention.

Perhaps it was Sparta's doing, but personally I get the feeling this was more the case of the player holding out for a better move. Not much more the club can do other than quickly move onto other targets (which they looked to have done so with that Ojeda chap).

I think it's his team that loves the attention, trying to ignite a bid war. They are now implicating us as well, which makes little sense, since we're not looking for a midfielder, barring an unexpected bid for Camara.
