Bovril 214 Posted January 25, 2020 permanent I believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,790 Posted January 25, 2020 Just now, Bovril said: permanent I believe. Thanks. Before this signing we were already at our full complement of non-homegrown players (Duda and Rupp having replaced Srbeny and Heise), so this implies one of our foreign players will be leaving us before the window closes. Leitner, I would imagine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bovril 214 Posted January 25, 2020 I wouldn't be totally shocked to see Leitner leave, perhaps on loan initially, but have no new news on that or other players leaving at the moment. As you say though, if Sinani does join permanently as opposed to loan (not 100% whether perm/loan, though believe it is the former) then someone has to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 737 Posted January 25, 2020 What I like about this one is the number of firsts for NCFC in one package.. first Luxemburger, first Gorani (look it up! I did...), any more? Also, hope he scores and assists us to 200 goals by end of the season for a fairytale survival Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icecream Snow 761 Posted January 25, 2020 Idah's not in the FA Cup squad, so would expect him to be departing on loan shortly. Which would also fit if Sinani's coming in. Leitner not involved today either, so he's either off or won't be included in the 25 man squad going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,747 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Sinani doesn't have to be part of the registered squad if he signs. The benefit of signing him now is that he gets used to his new surroundings and a step up in class before pre season training. It is possible that he will go straight out on loan somewhere Edited January 25, 2020 by dylanisabaddog 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cornish sam 923 Posted January 25, 2020 I know that u21s don't count for the 25 man squad, but, do they count for the non-homegrown tally? Haven't actually checked but he might class as u21 for this season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted January 25, 2020 If Sinani does sign it's intriguing who of our foreigners makes way. Seems like Idah may well be going out on loan to get much needed game time suggesting Sinani won't be immediately loaned out. Farke a bit waspie on Twitter re Leitner....

I think it's a combination of needing players with a high level of technical ability, who are comfortable on the ball, and that's difficult to find in Championship clubs and lower. On the other hand, the big Premiership teams are holding onto players for longer unless they get big fees for them (eg Ake and Solanke). Lewis Baker at Chelsea has never played for them, is 25 in April, and still has two years left on his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A loan would mitigate the lack of game time, but it’s not a perfect answer by any means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
