Summer window

Think what the Lihadji deal shows is that when you sign a young player and they aren't as good as you hoped you can still sell them for good money

 

Good to to Lihadji. It he was never interested/right for us. See ya

Who is next out the door?
Embo
Pritch
Matete

look forward to seeing another striker and c. midfielder.

 

Matete injured until autumn

 

Hopefully at least double that at least the way they have been splashing the cash . I think we are a different kettle of fish compared to recent years when it comes to bargaining ,he found it very difficult to break in to the side due to the form of Clarke and Roberts so we can only assume unfulfilled potential and a decent offer saw him leave .

 

Remember reading about Lihadji when we were linked and he was the most exciting, believe he had already played some first team football even at champions league level?

Now if anyone needs further proof I know **** all keep an eye on my performance in the prediction league this season .

I remember reading about Michut being shocked at how physical the league was and that he was regularly kicked and nipped at. Michut had something about him though, he will succeed it's in his personality.

Lihadji will probably love it over there being one of the better players and getting paid. The pressure isn't on the same basically paid a fortune to have a hobby!

At least it sound like we made a few quid. From that Speakman statement sounds like they couldn't wait to get shot once offer come in as it would fund some transfer business!

 

Michut adapted like you say.

He will have a very good career Michut. I’m sure Lihadj will make a few quid.

 

I thought Lihadji looked decent but I wasn't exactly attached to him, barely seen him play. Didn't seem to have the attitude we're looking for.

 

Yes i believe your correct, of course you then have the scenario a little like Michuet, if he does well they may have better options, it equally protects....as if he doesnt do well he goes back

 

He's a stupid lad going to a club like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manure, City etc as we tend to recruit from that type of club now at a fraction of the hassle in training them...He must be good if he thinks he will break into the Chelsea team which I doubt very much. Its a want it now mentality but the money will have spoken too him and his family.

 

He's went for the Sun and sandybeach...supposed to be a canny one in Qatar

 

Tbf, it was us "did a Grigg" on us.........

 

It's also easier to get into an academy set up as a goalie. Hardly any decent ones at a young age so he must stand out

 

The

me too, but if his replacement is an improvement then that means we are progressing. As the man said: no sentiment in football. We’ll soon forget him.

 

The money kids can get at 16 at these top.clubs is life changing. I know of a few and it's insane

 

Agree - looked out of his depth whenever he came on.
Did we pay a fee for him?

 

All three a possibility but only Pritchard is actually fit.

 

Yep. Bad move for him, but good move for certain others.

 

Sounds like a decent fee for someone we weren’t necessarily that keen to keep. Incredibly positive sounds like we were surprised by the fee- would imagine up to 2m wouldn’t be that “ positive” unless we really wanted **** for other reasons so hopefully more than that.

I would take this chap. But would almost certainly be a Stewart replacement

 

James McLeans career seems to be levelling out, he's moved to Wrexham today. Sorry bit off piste for this thread.
