Paul Okon-Engstler to 1. FC Köln now a done deal and he'll be under contract for the next four seasons through the end of Bundesliga season 2029-30.

Got to be Irankunda. Otherwise it could only be Richard Garcia as a waterboy.

 

[Quicky]

LFG!!!!! We’re taking over the Big Five again!!!!

Of the guys that may actually start. We've had two up (Beach, Okon). Two down (Irvine, Metcalfe). One who was not renewed and is in limbo (Ryan). So we've technically gone from five in the top 5 to four. I know there's still more transfers to come but I'm not counting my chickens yet. I think it'll be status quo or small growth.

So far:

• Pat Beach (Troyes)
• Ale Circati (Parma)
• Dylan Leonard (Schalke)
• Paul Okon-Engstler (Cologne)
• Cristian Volpato (Sassuolo)
• Unnamed player (Hull)

And still, for now:

• Antonio Arena (Roma)

And if we include loans:

• Kasey Bos (Mainz)
• Joe Gauci (Aston Villa)

Possibly also:

• Lucas Herrington (various links)
• Nestory Irankunda (various links; Hull?)
• Mo Touré (Hull?)

Plus, the transfer window isn’t over yet. We could still increase our numbers. Jordy Bos’ injury doesn’t help though.

Maty Ryan (Levante)

Mathew Ryan has been delisted by Levante though and there's no guarantee that he's going to be headed to another side in the Big Five European leagues.

Add leonard, the fact he has shirt number 3 indicates to me they plan to play him

Added Dyl Leonard since I forgot about him and removed Maty Ryan since I forgot he left Levante.

Note the first sentence Quicky wrote:

I'd go further than may actually start. We want regular starters. Okon and Beach have made the move, we are probably rightly confident they will play, but they have to take the chance now. Volpato has been a bench player to this point. We need him to make a step forward. Circati is the only one we have currently.

4 year deal for Okon thats a good sign.

Parma want Aussie record fee for Socceroos defender as Circati's father provides update on transfer talk

Perspective buyers may need to smash the Australian transfer record to force Serie A club Parma into parting ways with Alessandro Circati.

Circati is not going anywhere.

Alessandro Circati might be headed elsewhere during the January transfer window but definitely he should be staying at Parma for at least another half season.

Bayern Munich’s buy-back clause for Nestory Irankunda has expired, Watford rejected two offers

The amazing Australian remains with the Hertfordshire club for now

Nothing new - I just thought it was a really cool photo . . .

Good. He goes around and does a job and the panicked rabble Levante were wasn't always fun. He'll find another club and be utmost professional.

 

[Bbouy]

Very close now!

 

[Bunch_of_hacks]

The spanish club interested is Celta Vigo who ironically are nicknamed/taunted by rivals as also being Portuguese .. Vigo is right on the border in Galicia which once upon a time was Portugal. The Gallego language is 90% similar to Portuguese.

And prettiest city ive ever seen Vigo!

 

[melbcityguy]

Personally like to see him at Hull as it's easier to follow him

I think Sporting is the best bet for his development. Succeed there and I think he has every chance to sustain an EPL or big 5 club career in the future. It's really exciting.

 

[Quicky]

So far:

• Pat Beach (Troyes)
• Ale Circati (Parma)
• Dylan Leonard (Schalke)
• Paul Okon-Engstler (Cologne)
• Cristian Volpato (Sassuolo)
• Unnamed player (Hull)

Yes - all very exciting players. I wil say I doubt Leonard plays much this season though I hope I'm spectacularly wrong. We'll have to wait and see on the Hull rumour but not holding my breath.

And still, for now:

• Antonio Arena (Roma)

We hope!

And if we include loans:

• Kasey Bos (Mainz)
• Joe Gauci (Aston Villa)

I don't include loans. Honestly I think it's unlikely either will play league games for those clubs. Gauci needs to get out of dodge at Villa. Bos landed a good move, although he isn't featuring in preseason games yet.

Possibly also:

• Lucas Herrington (various links)

Super exciting but I hope he doesn't move too soon. He needs to nail his decision like Jordy did. I'd be happy for another MLS season tbh.

• Nestory Irankunda (various links; Hull?)

Sporting I hope. Very exciting!

• Mo Touré (Hull?)

Plus, the transfer window isn’t over yet. We could still increase our numbers. Jordy Bos’ injury doesn’t help though.

I hope Mo stays put where he's playing well at Norwich. Rate him highly but EPL is too soon.
