It still doesn't help us. If he has a year of no football at Barca, his value drops massively and they don't take the option. Either sell him or keep him
Interesting. He’s friends with Orkan Kokcu at Benfica, but he must be in Germany with the Turkey team. Geny Catamo is available for loan from Sporting Lisbon I think, right winger. Maybe gone to talk to him? Or maybe he just fancied a holiday?
Or any of their academy. I hear that Lamine Yamal would be a useful acquisition… Or Ansu Fati that was on loan at Brighton last year. Though he does have legs as durable as a Kit Kat.
Loan with option to buy Aka Get him cheap and if hes **** he can leave Helps us not one iota Unless its like 10m loan fee
Perhaps Philogene's contract has a clause that allows him to talk to a bigger club? As an inducement to persuade him to sign last season.
Surely his agent can talk to whoever he wants. I'm sure most agents are touting all of their players here there and everywhere as that's how they make money. A loan would be absolutely dire for us and of no benefit as many have said. We'd lose one of our best players and get no FFP benefit to replace him.
I would expect any deal to have enough in it right now for us to be able to replace him otherwise it is a pointless move. At the same time you cannot stand in the way of a player moving to a club like that. I'm sure if they are serious they will do enough to amke it worth our while.
Their number 1 target is williams Either this summer or next Jaden is a low risk high reward stopgap if they dont get williams They wont do us any favours Theyll attempt to get him as cheap as possible
Yeh I think its bad news for us if it's true, like you said they will squeeze us as much as possible but it's kind of hard for the club to stand in the way of him going to Barca so may well end up not getting the amount we would like.
