Crazy that we paid near that much for Sulemana / Carrillo yet we won’t sign a genuinely class goalkeeper. Stop being so ****ing tight and useless at recruitment saints. FFS
Sulemana and Carrillo weren't on £100k per week and their selling club didn't want us to break our club record fee by going into £30m+ territory, in fairness.
Still no confirmation of the deal though. Are we getting a player in exchange, is it a loan or permanent?
Sounds like it’s a permanent for €18m, still talk about Victor Hugo coming on a loan to buy, not sure if that is to Saints or Goztepe yet
I can see a few more loans heading to Valenciennes as am I am sure SR will want them promoted back to Ligue 2 from the National as soon as possible.
Odd that none have happened yet. Do we have a big enough pool of players to send out and still have players for our own youth teams ?
It is strange yeah. You'd be forgiven for thinking it is just Saints and Goztepe in the multi-club model. We hear so little of Valenciennes. You'd think they were the sleeping giant in the sense that ligue 1 is of high standard, regularly produces excellent players yet it wouldn't take much investment to get them there.
The academy system in France is insane, Valenciennes were very badly run even before SR. Forget Goztepe if SR get this right they could be a great feeder club. For now it's all ifs and buts
Hugo on loan directly to Goztepe as part of the Charly deal with an ‘option to buy’. Astoundingly **** deal.
