    You're going to have to trust me on this one, as I don't want to betray my source.

    We are currently negotiating the particulars on a season-long loan for Jay Dasilva. I'm told he'd love to come back (we're still seen as a "Big Club" by lots of young footballers - remember, we were in the Prem during their formative footballing years), and much of the meat of the deal has been agreed in principle.

    We're waiting until he's free from international duty, at which point things will be finalised/firmed up. However, I'm told Chelsea are making a few fairly stringent demands for clauses, that are currently proving to be minor stumbling blocks (i.e. fees if he doesn't play a certain amount of games, or similar).

    It's likely but not 100%, basically.

    DaSilva was in every 18 man squad from Millwall at home onwards. That clause was probably in place last season.

    Yes, that looked very suspicious at the time, you knew he would be in the 18, but would not feature.

    The odd thing about last season's loan is that he didn't figure for 2 months (other than wasting a place on the bench), yet came in and was our best player for the last few games.
  • Why cant we report Sheffield United for all this crap from them?

    They've effectively spent the last two months tapping up our player!!

    We weren't in ascendancy then though, that was the start of our decline.

    People seem to forget we fell to this level without the assistance of RD and KM

    I'm amazed we won that game seeing that the referee was called Nigel

    That Robinson definitely hasn't done to MK Dons for Reeves since January.
    Very true... His behaviour in January with Reeves definitely should have earned a slap from the FA / EFL or whoever.

    I've always believed that all transfer business should be done like how we signed Tarieq Fosu... No one knows a thing of whats going on until the signature is there on the Contract

    IMO that was because his first game for us was against Millwall - and he looked pretty awful. But I think that was his first competitive game! Not a good one to judge his initial performance on...

    Charlton fans might write people off after one game, I didn't think the coaching staff would do that as well!

    They've made official bids, hardly tapping up

    Going home after that Millwall match I felt Dasilva had a poor game but thought it was unfair to throw him into his first League appearance on such an occasion.

    Because of that reason I was more than willing to write off that match and give him a chance yet to not be given a chance for another two months I did think was harsh... For all his in-depth answers Id love to hear Robinson explain his absense for so long

    I for one thought he did Ok against Millwall and said so at the time on here. Couldn't understand why he was taken off or why he didn't play again for months.

    Maybe you know something we don't, but as stated above, I think if Konsa were going to a significantly bigger club there would at least be rumors at this point. It's entirely possible a Championship club will come in for him later in the summer, but I fancy our chances far more against a Forest or Derby than against Everton or Arsenal. Perhaps I'm being naive. Certainly after winning the U-20 World Cup I thought there would be more desire for his services, but so far, nothing.
    I do expect RD to cash him in.

    they have made bids and its probably being petty given how Holmes would know of the interest anyway, but I agree that publicly continually stating your interest in another teams player has to be some sort of tapping up.

    For the record, I agree Robbo did something very similar in January with regards to Reeves, perhaps slightly different given the fact he knew Reeves would be available come the summer.
  • I do expect RD to cash him in.
    So do I but do you expect him to leave this summer? Or January?
  • I do expect RD to cash him in.
    I think we all expected that given RD's track record, but I agree I expected more rumours. I don't think he is regarded in a top quality bracket by the boy boys and that perhaps is shown by a lack of interest.

    If Bauer and/or Tex stays, and Kashi stays fit, not even sure that many people would have Konsa as a starter.
  • homes signed new contract.
  • homes signed new contract.

    Till 2020. Awesome

    Ok will give the club credit for doing this.

    next spin will be we couldn't sign anyone else because of the fat new contract for holmes :smiley:
  • Good news. Also - I like that polo shirt.
