Stoke have agreed a double loan deal for Hoever and Chiquinho.

Hoever I am happy to let go as he isn't the quality we need.

The Chiquinho deal means either Lopetegui wants him to build up his match fitness and confidence before returning to us either in January (if needed) or next season, or he simply doesn't want him and looking to put him in the shop window.

Probably also means we are after a speedy winger come right sided midfielder. Haven't Traore's talks with Milan stalled? Just jesting folks!

@ Old Wulf, you do raise a good point. I was thinking why hasn't Traoré signed for a club yet?

Surprised about chiquinho as was looking forward to seeing him this season but trust in our club.
Will now be keeping an eye on Stoke to see how he does also hoever to a lesser degree but still the same as he's our player and a good season or potentially 1/2 season will only be good for us with both of them.

Yeah confused by both of these, I think peeps were hoping/expecting that with Adama gone Chiquinho would be coming through. As for Hoever it comes with a contract extension, why on earth are we extending his contract (which already ran till 25)?! Honestly I have no clue with this window, Lope better have some players up his sleeve or we are in trouble! I see Brighton are after Elanga, decent player. I wonder who we are after?!

Retegui apparently Bullys. Boca Juniors didn't consider him good enough so loaned him out for 18 months and started scoring goals for fun and so made the Italian national team ahead of many recognised names. Interesting.

You have trust the process, one thing for sure is, LOP is shaping the team, he's looking at players that maybe do have a future, but need games, he wants a team that is ready from The off with no passengers, he is a coach who wants to win trophies and challenge for European spots

Adama myself will sign a new contract what does everyone else think

Any clues / hints what sort of money Retegui would cost
Surprised Chiquinho out on loan, thought Lope liked him and was keeping him at Moli as RW option.
At this rate, be v interesting to see what squad we actually have at kick off.or end of window.
But hey ho ????
