And as if by magic the Stoke transfer window has sprung back into life... What does the Cirtle have to say on any of todays rumours? Been no rumours in regards for incomings (apart from for the U21 team) Got a feeling the Laurent thing will drag on right until deadline day

(He's another that is followed by and follows Walters on instagram due to the Irish links!)
Saw him play against Vale last season - and he absolutely monstered them

Irish, ex Fleetwood. Of course he is.
I remember the halcyon days of only recruiting from Birmingham City.

Never heard of Lawal, but love the youtube clips. Young, pacy, strong, dynamic running.
Not much to dislike. Only hope we would actually have a chance to get him.
Plus he may well be a character off Captain Pugwash

Walters left last May and he joined on loan later that summer. Probably knows people there though - including Charlie Adam?

Remember Lawal's name popping up in the Wireduo scouting report and i thought he looked the better option of the two.

You have to take into account the standard of football but from that montage he does look the sort who could step into the perceived Laurent role. If there's any truth in the link and Bournemouth are seriously interested, they'd be favourites to sign him, though.

Lawal in Laurent out seems a decent bit of business.
Bit worrying that if you're Irish or played for Burnley you're sat by your phone waiting for a call from JW.
Hopefully, our scouting won't start and stop there 😀

I think the days of lots of rumours from inside the club are over, apparently all employees were warned after the Bocat deal nearly went tits up because it was leaked he was here, only rumours are going to come from tenuous journo links now. Also new recruitment guy is known for getting really fucked off if leaks get out

I think with social media and such like, it's next to impossible to keep stuff leaking out to a degree. Perhaps there is nothing on the Armstrong link, just a journo rumour.

Never seen Lawal but on paper he sounds like the exact sort of profile we should be going for.
Would be tough to get him if up against strong competition in Bournemouth and Salzburg. But we may have an advantage if we intend to bring him straight in to the first team as he’s only looking to leave Celtic for regular minutes. No doubt Bournemouth would offer to loan him out if that appeals to him.
It’s nice to see us being linked with various young prospects over the last couple of days.

Not saying they can but internal staff have certainly been told... Just posting what I heard from a club employee who said its more than his job is worth to tell anyone anything they may have seen

Not sure this Lawal guy’ll work for us - from the clips, he doesn’t seem to understand the intricacies of passing backwards.

Do we think this kiddie would be for CM or CB then?
It's a horrible world we live in when I think we can't compete with tin pot Bournemouth.
