just read it. I suspect they either want a sale or are keeping him for the championship next season.

Want loan to buy apparently. I can see sense in the deal as he’d be useful in prem for the right team, and he’s a good age. Sounds like talks are ongoing from what I’ve seen

I had to smile at the comment made by Farke in today`s press conference where he said:
I trust my players. I don't think its necessary to have six or seven options there. Strikers need backing and confidence and rhythm. It's a long season and cup competitions.

We also stay awake for the striker position if we are one injury away from being unable to use in a game. I'm struggling to see clubs with five atatcking options . I look at Bayern Munich, if Harry Kane scores he plays, If he doesn't the team are not successful.

I look at Man City, if Haaland scores they are successful, if not, they are not. Due to the situation, we will [consider options]

First of all I wasn`t aware we had 6 or 7 striker options.
And the bit that made me smile was his reference to Haaland and Kane when comparing the situation we have with Piroe and Joseph.
