Aguerd had a good season at Sociedad. For a reasonable fee i'd be happy with it, but I suspect the asking price will not be reasonable. AFCON would be a bloodbath though.
He also has asked west ham to leave, refused to go back to pre season training etc all because he wants to be playing in Europe.
Aguerd isn’t the worst signing we’ve been linked to this summer but he’s miles away from the best too.
Also on aguerd - I like him as a player in a high line but don't think he suits us at all. One of the worst progressive CBs I've seen and struggles in a low block.
They are mind. This lad is excellent. No downgrade from Partey at all IMO, who of course has other things on his mind now anyway
Aguerd doesn’t fit our usual model to me. We generally pay decent fees for young players and bring in experienced players on frees or loans. Even the ones this year for that template - be surprised if we now pay a decent fee for a 29 year old
Let's see what the week brings, I'm just desperate for Petrovic to sign - feel he would be huge for us, obviously a bonus if mikuatadze also signs
