I really don't know anything about Amiri yet.
What I would say is all transfers so have have made complete senses, where in previous seasons we chased endless U21s and inappropriate senior players.
This summer is different and whilst I'm not happy with lack of activity and lateness of business, the players we are signing seem the right ones, so I'm trusting they have their judgement right with this one too, should it happen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We think it’s late business but in all honesty I think these deals have been worked on for weeks.
It must be difficult knowing that other clubs, much smaller than yours with money and PL status, can nip in and attract the players you want.
Also we know Swansea are tough to deal with after the James saga.
Southampton have cash to burn and Leicester seem to be going for it this season as well.
No way has this window been a “don’t go to bed yet” window. We’ve got that to look forward to next week 🤣🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It also falls in line with the thinking that they waited until the release clauses expired to commit to spending money.
Could have been risky to spend a big chunk on Piroe early to find out that all the wingers left on loan.
Let's hope that the club has been in a tough situation and they had to plan their way out of it carefully and this is what it looks like.
We will never know how responsible they are for the contract mess we are in but regardless all we can do is due them on how they get us out of it.
If we get promoted this season then who cares about anything else.

By all accounts we are also signing Genk forward Joseph Paintsil.
Seems a bit of a strange one to me this, exciting player but isnt he a winger? Makes me think someone is leaving us....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah seems strange.
Makes me think Sinisterra may be off?

Is Spence a loan or buy?
If we do get Amiri, Spence, and Paintsil, we're laughing.
Hammond has handled this window borderline brilliantly.
The release clause fiasco (Orta's criminal negligence),
the expiry of the clauses, Max Aarons robbery, building
the backline back up (a la what he did at Newcastle,
Piroe, and now the rest emerging based on Prem clubs
settling their squads. We have a professional at the helm.
Imagine what this would look like if Orta was still here.
On second thoughts, don't. God awful.

I'd be tempted to extend Hammond's relationship with the club through to next season, so he can cover January, too. Been impressed with the ambition that we have shown.
Paintsil a bit of an odd one. Naturally right-sided, which is good because we have been short there, but obviously we have a lot of wingers. Sinisterra, Gnonto, Summerville and James are probably all amongst the seven best wingers in the league, for me. Only see the sense in paintsil if one of those is going.
If we did land Paintsil, that says a lot about where we
are as a club right now. Clubs higher up the food chain
have interest in him. And according to people I respect
football-wise, he's a handful and would be another
statement player.
Perkins loan to Oxford looking likely.
We've made a 10 mill bid for Paintsil.

I think we might loan one or two out if possible. Joffy looks a shadow of himself this season. Now he’s dropped down the pecking order will he want a loan somewhere he can get game time ?
Gyabi does need game time too but from what I’ve seen this season he won’t get it with us.
Could be a good weekend if we can beat high flying Ipswich.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now he’s dropped down the pecking order will he want a loan somewhere he can get game time ?"
He's played all 3 league matches, last 2 as starter, I wouldn't see him pushing for a loan right now unless he's been told he's 3/4 choice.
I'd really like to see Gelhardt play as part of a striking pair.
I agree with Gyabi, he's not made an impact first year, if no chance this year needs to loan out and play.
I liked what Joffy was doing in the West Brom game.

Can see clubs stance on Perkins there, so different to adams statement.
This loan makes sense, hope he’s successful at Oxford.
Some suggestion Amiri might not fancy the move now, and bid for Paintsil rejected
Reported that a "hitch" on Amiri's side, him having already agreed to the move.
If he can't make his mind up, move on.
Reports that his pregnant wife is unsure about the move to Leeds
Deal now apparently off.
And Genk have moved the goalposts regarding the deal for Paintsil.
Knew people were jumping the gun yesterday.
Don't think anyone was jumping any gun. Not all deals happen, and of these three Piroe was comfortably the most important.
