Fingers crossed.

A few sites saying that we have reached an agreement with Leipzig on a loan with option to buy, some saying that the medical is even booked in for tomorrow.
Not the most reliable of sources but here's hoping they are right.

After a promising loan there, how come he hasn't be playing this year since they bought him?

Rather have Jared Bowen.

New manager in the summer who doesn't rate him as he says his defensive play isn't good enough and he needs to work on it.

manager Julian Nagelsmann is unconvinced by him, having argued that his defensive discipline needs to improve.

I can't say I've ever really watched auf wiedersehen, pet. But I love a good/terrible pun

I don't think anyone should be allowed to call themselves a Toon fan if they haven't seen Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. That's basically the criteria. I bet that knobhead guest in the Rochdale thread hasn't either.

I met Pat Roach once.

Lovely bloke.

twas before my time, not sure its been on terrestrial tv when I could have watched it. Used to get a lift to school from my mate's mum. She was obsessed with Jimmy Nail's music so we had to listen to it loads. Could never bring myself to seek out a show with him in it after that

I’ve got the boxset but must have been about 10 years since i watched them.

Gotcha. Personally I'm less concerned about a forward's defending.

It's not something I care too much about, although we play a 9-0-1 formation...

Me either and when you consider that when he first went there in 11 games he scored 5 assisted in 3, so when he is played to his strengths he has a end product something Big Sam said he lacked whilst at Everton.

Great - another striker who can't score - 16 goals in 92 games career stats are crap.
