so he's basically deferred payment for 12 months to avoid Saudi tax that goes to zero at that time. conditions must be **** if he can't last til may
See Origi being linked with MLS sides now after barely playing for Forest. I can’t remember if it was us not wanting to give him a new contract or him wanting to explore other things. Prob never know for sure even if was things said in public. Feel bit bad for him, he was obviously a decent player but for what ever reason coukd never pin down a regular slot with us, but was brilliant impact sub and made a difference. But always hoped when he moved he’d get regular game time and show what he could do. Last 2 years prob been but wasted for him just going to Milan then Forest and wonder if he’d wished he’d stayed here and continued his role of understudy.
In the coming months, our focus may be more on contract renewals rather than transfers; VVD, Salah and Trent are all in their last 18mths of their contracts. I think we'll renew VVD and Trent but look to move Salah on.
We will see. Our history is fairly consistent in dragging the last scrapping out of players and more until we've no option but to buy. I'm just thinking the era of the free is fast approaching. players are going to be wanting them more and more if theres opportunities out there.
he was poor enough and honestly we've done well for ourselves moving on minime and origi who were never even close to prem standard. Having 5 genuine prem standard players is helping us a lot. If you take out the everton goals lol... well hes done well on the odd occasion and seemed to have no issue with working and being ready. I really think his issue is he is showing exactly what he can do which is not much
Last chance to get huge money for him to reinvest into other areas? Not saying want him gone but if he wants to go and get big money in Saudi May suit all?
He is famous for several moments of heroics, but I remember a different Origi too. An Origi who could play 90mins and never really threaten anyone.
Fulham apparently agreed terms with Andre and just fee to be agreed, around £35m. Seems like replacement for Paulinho. Interesting given all our links then went very quiet
I'm reading that Fluminense are waiting to see if any more offers come in before accepting Fulham's offer. No wonder Klopp walked away. What a way to join a new club. Shows you're not really bothered about the club you're about to join if you're willing to go anywhere.
I think it's fairly obvious we walked away because the fee doubled but obviously that's just based on the figures we've seen reported so who knows
I think he'll stay. I don't think the club will be actively looking to cash in on their most prized asset and Salah is far too ambitious to be wanting to go to Saudi.
Depends how much is offered... - We wouldn't sell him for £1 - We'd definitely sell him for £1b ... there is a turning point somewhere inbetween.
I don't know, think there were various figures reported ranging from £100m to £250m. Not sure about £100m; he's 31 and turns 32 in June. Would we get a better offer? Could we replace him? I'd 100% take the £250m though
