Would not be a good move to let him go. As goalshy as he is as a central striker, with Carillo and hopefully Austin back soon to fill that role, then we need someone to play the old Jay Rod role and it'll be worth trying MG in this as Redmond has been awful all season.

My guess is that Gabby leaving will hinge solely on Promes coming in, who would be able to play the old J-Rod role quite effectively i'd have thought. Not that MoPe plays in that manner anyhoo.

Sounds sensible. I really can't see Promes coming to Ralph's lil ol Saints though. MP's manner would involve a keeper, 4 CBs and 6 Central MF players.

I know I'm the eternal optimist normally, but with transfers I tend to not get too carried away. I actually think that this one may happen. Hopefully if it does, it will come with a contract clause that prevents MoPe from asking him to drop deep and defend.

From a bloke on TUI.... seems legit (not being sarcasmic)
I've posted it twice now!
So I took my son to his first ever game - he's 3 and it was cheap enough to try it out. After 30 mins he was ready to go (and fair enough, so was I, we'd seen the goal and the game was getting turgid). So we left around 35 mins and ambled round to the shop as he wanted a Sammy Saint - the shop was shut as I thought, but anyway ...
At this time, a car with foreign plates pulled up and someone who looks like Promes got out with two others. They sheepishly went round to the front as I stared at them.
Showed my wife a picture on the phone and she said "yep I'll give you that, definitely looks like him".
Then back down on Ocean Village where I'd parked were 5 women speaking an unknown (to me) foreign language - one filming OV on her mobile and they were by Leaders (I think it's Leaders). Who films Ocean Village on a mobile!? Anyway, did a search "Quincy Promes girlfriend". And snap, looked like her.
As I said, I will be STUNNED if it's not him and/or he doesn't sign - there are too many similarities. I don't make stuff up either.

I think that Gabbiadini leaving is contingent on Promes arriving, otherwise it makes little sense. I see The Times today are putting the likelihood of the Promes move completing before Wednesday at 94%, although what they are basing that on, god alone knows.

Apparently he was in Spain over the weekend for a training camp with his current club. I also can't see the club having a potential signing being seen around SMS on a game day. Would be very amaterish - even for Reed.

Would be madness to let anyone go now, we are on the precipices of the Championship so better to have too many players than too few given we are stuck with our squad come the 1st Feb. Stay up or be relegated I think this Summer is going to see a MASSIVE overhaul of the club both on the playing, coaching and management side. (and I'd be shocked if MG was still here come August).

That is fairly emphatic. Case closed.
