We don't know much atm, and that's the point, there are far too many gaps being filled with speculation imo. I often say wait and see - I don't think it's ever been more appropriate than it is just now.
Needed a prem club for him to move to. Gets 1st team Exposure in the league, acclimatises for a year or two before taking over from Ali. Plays in a team that like to play out from the back so gets exposure passing it around but also a team that faces lots of shots. Seems a good move.
We haven’t even started the season. Think it’s a bit early to be saying the academy players are dissatisfied about things and that they won’t break through?
Arsenal look like have free run at Merino from sociadad now that Zubi is staying - they didn’t want to lose both in same window
Tbh, if this is your new adopted persona for the 24/25 season it's not very different to the one that we've all come to know and love ...put up with.
Possibly Only Possibly. Put zero time and patience in and you certainly won't get one through. Might as well rip up the strategy and join chelsea or utd doing stupid things if we do.
Yeah,wondered if the Merino deal was affecting the Zub transfer. Haven't Sociedad lost a CB aswell? Supporters watching a decent side picked over by Europes elite
we are sending him out on loan in the environment we presume he will be playing in for us not sure we care about Bournemouth
Replacing alisson is absolutely unacceptable. The end. 31 year old with min 5 top years left. Minimum. The absolsutle best keeper on thr planet and best ever lfc keeper by a stretch. Totally unacceptable.
Looks like technically not signing him this year. It’s deferred to until next year and instead will go on loan from Valencia to Bournemouth (think it’s because you can’t sign someone and loan to another prem club in same window). I assume also means any cost will go out of next years budget
They have been posting black and white photos of themselves on their social media saying they are being ignored. That's the only reason I said it.
The situation with Mamardashvili as I understand it is that we have a guaranteed transfer in 2025. Terms have been agreed and part of the arrangement is that Valencia will loan him to Bournemouth who will pay the loan fee and his wages. He will then be officially transferred to us after the season long loan. With regard to Zubimendi, it seems that RS are having difficulty in agreeing his new contract. Obviously all hearsay from journalists 'close to the club'.saying he was talked out of a move and into staying put but he's not liking what RS are putting to him in terms of a new contract. We're out of it now but interesting to see what happens.
