| Soumaila Coulibaly on 10:11 - Aug 31 with 7787 views | mrichards | Nice work Keith and the team. I hope if Vip is a part of the deal, we can sign the Motherwell lad before the deadline. Although vip will bebig boots to replace. |  | |  |

So it seems I wonder if this will affect Vip going the other way |  |

I can't see us having signed Stewart if we thought Vip was staying can still see him going |  |

If that was the case vip would be gone by now. Imo this shows that the owners are not prepared to taken the p!ss out of. Very refreshing and good to see. |  | |  |

Exactly. Coulibaly is a defender, we are not swapping a forward for a forward plus cash. If they want Vipotnik who they have been tracking for months, they will have to finance it another way or we move on. A lot can happen in 36 hours, other clubs have now been alerted. |  | |  |

Strasbourg are just trying to get him off their payroll. No reason why it should affect the Vipi deal, they just have to offer more money, of which they have plenty |  | |  |

Why the hell were we in for him, with an injury history like that ?? |  | |  |
| Soumaila Coulibaly on 12:59 - Aug 31 with 6248 views | MagicDaps | If we're in for him then I guess his data last season was very good. But if that's his injury record I'm sure we'll have known that going into any deal, and would have wanted a thorough medical which seemingly he hasn't passed. To be honest I've heard good things about Seelt, Cabango's injury isn't too bad, and with Welsh and Lissah as well be fine at centre-back anyway. |  |

I doubt we specifically went in for him, Strasbourg would have just offered him as a makeweight to get a Vipotnik discount. Tad worrying it got as far as a medical though unless his valuation was super low |  | |  |

I think it would be quicker to list the games he's played... |  | |  |

I agree, especially with your 2nd paragraph. I would add that Heywood should be developed further on our youth teams, which would allow to call him up in the event we need cover on the senior team. |  | |  |

I agree. If Cabango’s injury isn’t a long lay off then we have four centre backs. I can’t say I’ve seen this guy play, maybe he’s a big upgrade on what we’ve got and when his name was mentioned we went for it. But the injury record, on paper, doesn’t look great. |  | |  |

I don't think we're going into sign players these days unless we're specifically wanting them. We aren't using Jamestown Analytics for data for us not to use it. Strasbourg have spent £70 million this summer and brought in £150 million in player sales, they aren't going to be dependent on using injury prone players as makeweights. If it works out that we are interested anyway then fine, but they've got plenty of funds to sign Viptonik outright. |  |

It's more to move him on. They paid 6m for him so must be on a decent wedge. If they can bring in a top striker and get rid of their sicknote at the same time then win-win for them. But yeah no reason they can't still get Zan |  | |  |
