Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

He's all done and will be away on holiday, probably get an announcement tonight

 

Just finishing up the Roker Report podcast with Alex Barker and he said his favourite player in Ligue 1 last season was Pierre Ekwah

 

Everyone knows how good he can be on his day, he just doesn’t show it anywhere near enough.

 

Yeah I think he could be, just very risky to take him from a system where he had 90 touches per game and was very protected out of possession and putting him in a system where he'll get less than half of the amount of touches and be asked to do a lot of defensive work

 

Young striker Georges Mikautadze continues to be a hot name in the European market, with several clubs interested in his profile. After Daniele De Rossi 's indication last year to strengthen Roma 's attack , now it is sporting director Ghisolfi who is looking with interest at the player, but with a different destination.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport , Ghisolfi is trying to bring Mikautadze to Sunderland in the Premier League , taking advantage of the drop in price due to Lyon 's relegation to Ligue 2 , which has set the value of the player at around 20 million euros. There is no shortage of competition: Eintracht Frankfurt is also interested in the striker . Roma , on the other hand, are carefully following the alternative Krstovic from Lecce , even if negotiations with Leeds are at a standstill.

 

If all reports are genuine we’re currently in the drivers seat in the eye of Lyon

Frankfurt can’t pay yet, Roma don’t want to yet

 

I wonder if all these articles about Mikautadze are just a reflection that he's a higher profile player than because of any traction etc.

I so want it to be true though

 

#Sunderland and #FCN are currently negotiating for Matthis Abline. Brentford, Burnley, and Fulham are also interested, though they haven't sent formal offers. The #BlackCats' offer is €18.2 million. The French club prefers €20 million fixed, with variables above €5-6 million. This is an open topic.

 

STOP SIGNING STRIKERS SPEAKMAN

he took it personally, now we are signing all of them

 

he's basically just reporting what the big outlets did yesterday

 

Which 1 would folk prefer- Mikautazde or Albine

 

If Abline and Mikautadze both arrive it certainly starts to look like one is off.

 

Would like either of them but Mika is just light years above right now I think

 

Mikautadze for me

 

We seem very keen to drop €20m+ on a striker, if reports are to believed. I'm a big fan of Abline but Mikautadze would be a major coup. Less keen on Suarez, who actually seems like he'd be the most expensive but I still like him judging from his performances in La Liga.

 

FWIW, I think we have multiple bids in for strikers, we won't be signing multiple for money, it'll just be who comes off first I imagine

 

Maybe Isidor really wants that Southampton move

 

Mikautadze, just. I think it'll be Abline who we sign though.
