Or like Alioski :shh:
Alioski worries the opposition because he is a probationary Dying Swan and the Referee (or his guide dog) might just fall for it; pigs have sometimes known to take to the air you know. :o

Also, Assistant Referees are constantly concerned at being kept awake to wave the offside flag surely? :D

Phil Hay reporting Getafe looking to do a deal for Saiz. Those looking to get rid of him may get their wish.

Personally, I’ll be well pi**ed off.

Apparently he wants to return to Spain as his partner is pregnant currently.

I would also be sad to see such a talented player to leave, but if he isn't happy in England - and I can very much imagine that the cold does not particularly agree with him - then I can understand him wanting to leave and will hold no bitter thoughts towards him.

I would be very disappointed if he goes. One of our most talented players of the last decade or so. Personally think he's been slightly mis-managed this season although it's obviously hard to argue with the way the season has generally gone. We're still not massively creative though and to lose what he brings would be a real shame. Like Simamu, I wouldnt blame him though. It is pretty S**t here in winter and it must be even worse when you're not playing. Step forward Izzy Brown.

Everton website says four Premiership clubs interested in Jack Clark. Everton, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
I once played against Don Revie.

He signed a four year deal last year so will be at ER till 2021.

Hopefully his agent Ian Harte will advise him to stay at ER as well.

Contracts mean the square root of sod all in the modern game - unfortunately. :shock:

Spot on assessment SiMamu. Given Getafe is a suburb of Madrid, his home city, it would make sense to 'go home' with his pregnant wife. Not only the climate, but the food and customs are quite different there. Remember Michael Owen only stayed there one season.

Saiz's form has dipped noticeably since, eg, our annihilation of Derby. Ultimately he can't be enjoying the 6ft+ bruisers that inhabit the Championship either.

As has been said Brown to step forward....
Might have to take an interest in the Premier League now....

We should keep hold of Saiz until the end of the season.

We can let him leave with good will in May but if Brown gets a setback or Klich gets injured (he has played a lot of matches including internationals) we will be thin on the ground for attacking mids.

Unless Radz needs the money (and that would be a big let down) we should keep hold of him.
