Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Regarding Lyon, its hard to say really. Textor seems to be a proper moron at least when it comes to football.

 

I still don't think we'll get any announcements today btw. Think Reinildo and Talbi will be tomorrow if they've had medicals today.

 

Farewell Mika, was nice not knowing you.

 

? Has he gone elsewhere?

 

He's not the first....as we know only too well!

 

Signed for Gretna Green mate

 

He's eloped?

 

If he's fully fit we don't need to be loaning him out, the lad is quality

 

agreed thats why I wouldn't sign another right back

 

I think we could get a deal done for 25m for abline myself, have to remember the deals can be structured too, so it's not all upfront and it's in euros haha, always sounds worse

 

Shame that, always seemed a very ambitious move so always more liable to failure.

 

I do wonder if we would look at Krstovic. He's done well at a poor Lecce side. I still think he's very good.

 

Roma have agreed a deal verbally, he also turned Leeds down, they want 35-40m euros

 

Isn’t that the one that Roma are after?

 

You might be surprised, Nantes basically never budge and want stuff all up front.

 

Noone is doubting his quality but his availability has been shocking 28 games in 4 years across all competitions so it's hard to tell how good of a player he is until he plays a full season

I'd would be worried if our only 2 RB options are him and Hume until Huggins can prove his fitness

I'd like 2 LBs (Cirkin and Reinildo) 2 RBs (Hume and another) and turn use Huggins as a versatile full back and then can see how his fitness is by January

I do think the lad just needs to go and play week in week out and I don't think he's getting that here at the minute so a loan deal makes sense for him

 

Who's to say we havent already agreed that fee

 

Yeah. Not sure who else we’ve been linked to beyond Abline. Of the other players that are seemingly on the move, the one I really wanted was Guessand - partly because of his versatility. Seems like he’s off to spurs though (for a price we could have got to). Hope we don’t end up with a Sergeant type ideally.

 

The article on Mikautadze for Roma says this "Mikautadze of Lyon and Krstovic of Lecce, for whom Roma has been asked for very high figures: the Georgian costs 40 million, despite Lyon's relegation established in the first instance by the French financial court; the Montenegrin can fully finance Pantaleo Corvino's signing campaign and does not move for less than 25-30".

Also Leeds don't have an ambitious project. Assuming that translates well into italian.
