Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

They’ve already said if he fails to find a move he will sign a new deal so they won’t lose him for free

 

this lad is the real deal what a bargain

 

That’s just the risk you take with a model like ours in the premier league. It’s the model but at a bigger scale. Some of these players should become 50m+ players if they do well

 

Id imagine there'll be a lot of outgoings over the next week

 

Have they? We’ve also seen reports that suggested he was unlikely to sign a new one iirc. I guess that’s where the crux is then. I’d be surprised if he was saying that to them tbf. Completely removes any leverage he may have to get a big move this summer.

 

Yeah at least the latest report has said he will likely sign the deal on the table if a move doesn’t materialise

I think they accept he wants to move on but the club want a good fee

 

While it’s the risk you take, it also erodes what you can achieve if you keep chasing deals and don’t drive a very hard bargain throughout. I’d also argue that the margins of error at pl level are different. Getting outgoings as a champ club is easier. And while the potential returns at pl are a different level, the stakes are higher too. While many on here have Caicedo type deals in their heads, they represent the high water mark. The last thing we need is to be forced to lose good players to teams in our mini league because we chased deals the year before.

 

I guess it’s a good sign if Lucumi is quite that generous to his current club. Not many would be. Wouldn’t like it if we were on the other side of such a scenario - although you could argue that with Cirkin and Neil we already are!

 

I'm saying there is any truth in Jesus link, but years ago didn't we try and get him on loan years ago?

 

When he was at city or before city?

 

Jesus is on £265k week.

He’s also not a proper goalscorer and almost eternally injured.

I’ll eat my own head if there’s owt in that nonsense.

 

They might be feeling a bit aggrieved, but what can they do?

They are all in on the Saudis. They will be looking for someone else to blame for any and everything that might not be just so.

Criticising the owners has long been their default position, always seeking to drive them away. Now, they are frightened the owners might go away!

 

Just in the event it does come off mate can you video it and get someone to post it please?

 

I can see the lineup being similar to sevilla. Is reinildo ready yet?

patterson
Hume
Ballard
Seelt
Reinildo
Sadiki
Enzo
Diarra
Talbi
Adingra
Mayenda

 

That puts it all into perspective Paddy. I hope and pray that all goes well for you both and your journey over the coming months isn't too harrowing.

 

Anything said about Abdullahi? Love to see him get a decent Championship loan

 

Yes. But there is nothing yet saying we will go to the limit. And all the other buys have been young lads. If we drop, it is very hard to see at least a couple of them not enhancing their reputations. They will all have resale value.

I don't think it inconceivable either that other Income streams will open up in this new phase of operations.

We'll be okay. No way do these guys spend over four years doing quiet building, and then hoy it all in on a tip at the bookies.

 

Jesus mate that's tough.

Strength to you and your family and hope the docs can sort it for your missus.

 

That’s horrible news. Stay strong and I hope all goes well for her.
