Yeah, but they're not seriously in for him, are they? That would be more perfect, but Stoke is near enough for it to be an opportunity he won't want to miss out on. Far better than Swansea... They are also interested You didn't even know we were interested until Percy broke the news! Seriously mate, give it a rest.

Classic smokescreen tactics from Tony and the boys, expect Claudio Yacob through the door before the week is out.

Sounds like a good player with plenty of potential.
Sounds like he has a great attitude too, and we'll need players like that to get out of this rut.
Get it done.

Haven't seen anything recently though. They were mentioned in passing a couple of months ago, but haven't seen any talk of serious money being put down. FM do you think he’s as good as Pearson from what you’ve googled?

That's the hard bit for us though isn't it Usually !! Sounds like everything is in our favour here though. He is no longer a first team regular for them. His family has already relocated to Cannock. Due to personal circumstances he will want to be nearer home. And we can no doubt offer him more money too. Must be a good chance it will happen. Unless another Midlands club comes in with serious interest.

Where would this leave Etebo?
He signed on 11 June and Rowett signed on 22 May so he would technically be a Rowett signing.
I'm increasingly getting the feeling Rowett is either giving up on him or thinks he has much to learn. Well it's more than a feeling, he's not playing him and we still have Clucas and perhaps this fella to come.
Another 6 mill pissed up the wall who knows?
Bish-bosh I've spent all me dosh!

FM do you think he’s as good as Pearson from what you’ve googled? Hard to say really, from my limited googling! But if you dip into that thread on the Brentford forum, they were gushing about him at various points of last season, but seem to feel more free to be critical now as they're doing well without him and they were all expecting the cash injection he was going to provide this summer. Random snapshot... His job is to mop up at the back and provide the link between defence, midfield and attack preferably moving the ball as quickly and accurately as possible. He does all that superbly well IMHO and as such is a vital cog in the way we play. I don’t think there’s any other player as good at receiving a ball from the keeper or defenders whilst under pressure. Without that we’d be back to where we were under warburton endlessly trying to launch the ball into the channels to escape the high press. He’s absolute quality and we’ll really struggle to replace him with anyone anywhere near as good when he inevitably moves on. Wait until we get nearer to January, I would be happy to wager that a lot of speculation about Ryan as has proven quality and consistency at this level hence why he receives the acclaim from oppo fans most weeks. No coincidence we play better when he's on his game and as a midlands based lad he has plenty of choice of bigger clubs able to pay significantly more than we will ever be able to offer while in this division. Enjoy him while we can like all our players and look at the positives, another player destined for better things who will make us a huge ROI and we will repeat the process as we have so successfully of late and replace then nurture another highly rated but relatively unproven player. Woodsy's destined for the top which certainly isn't where Sunderland are going so I wouldn't worry about that one.. will be a lot of interest though I'm sure, though I thought there would be this summer and nothing materialised.. He will either go in January or the summer as sadly he is just to good to fly under the radar. But i would be amazed if its for as little as 3 million or Sunderland as they are not a good move for anybody!

I thought the same mate but Grapey says that Rowett has already said he rates him and he plans on phasing him in.

He also has a tender family situation, in that his wife and child are not in the country and are living "back at home". I'm not sure if home is Nigeria, Portugal or wherever. Either way, not ideal for a 22 year old lad at a new club, new league, new lifestyle and probably no new home yet.

I dare say he hasn't got a car/license sorted yet either. We criticise footballers all the time due to their salaries yet forget about the small, or not so small, things that we take for granted.

Etebo needs a run of games not 10 mins here 10 mins there. The only way to get used to a new league is to play in it. I thought he did well in the World Cup, could he not do the role that Keita played for Liverpool tonight?

Really hope this happens a 3 of Woods, Clucas and Allen would be brilliant. Lots of legs and skill.
I wonder if Gary Rowett would consider playing Etebo on the Left right as an inside forward.

Not happy with this potential signing. What's happened to the proven model of signing ageing players looking for a final decent paycheck before they hand their boots up. Shocking to be looking at signing somebody on the way up.
Rowett Out. Mick McCarthy in.

If we sign this boy then the Stoke fans better show him loads of patience. It one thing settling into a new club but having to deal with a loss and possible house move for family is going to be one big challenge.
