KWP signing for Besiktas later this week; flies out on Wednesday. 3yr deal worth approx £70k per week according to Turkish media
£11m …. Not too shabby. European football as well. Used to work in Istanbul & my customer was a Besiktas fan. Bought my young son an original kit, which was really expensive. Strange as on the Marmaris you could buy any footie shirt for couple £
Gary Quote interested in reading this as I used to buy sports shirts for my nephew when he was younger. In my generation, obscure kits were quite an achievement but I think my nephew stopped being impressed at senior school. Had bought him kits from Lyon (for a few seasons ) and club + national jerseys in Doha as well as basketball tops in Philippines. Not sure the latter kits ever got worn as he has a season ticket for Man Utd. Became a waste of money in the end as he would not wear anything other than Man Utd. I liked obscure kits although I was unsuccessful in my attempt to get the Philippines cricket top whilst out there. Cannot be too many of them in the UK let alone at The Cavite Oval.
Yuki Sugawara has told the Daily Echo that he wants to stay at Saints and prove himself to the supporters by winning promotion back to the PL
I assumed the rumours and links to other clubs were coming from his agent to put feelers out about a move. I assume this means no one of note has shown much interest so he is fine with staying.
Yeah, must be. On paper, Yuki's playing style will be very well suited to Still's system in terms of playing with width, running in behind quickly and crossing the ball. I suspect he won't look so exposed defensively, either
Whoops wrong thread, not paying attention. Sat on the terrace having a beer by the lock enjoying the relatively cool evening.
The Ox rumours coming out again, sounds like he is looking for a championship contract for next season. Sounds more like a Wrexham or Oxford signing at this point
He’s apparently without a club so I’m not sure what the 250k is here. A signing on fee? Because it’s probably too low for the annual wage. Could be the “net” pay maybe?
The article linked on twaXter. https://africafoot.com/southampton-passe-a-loffensive-pour-morlaye-sylla/
Just Googled him. He’s a midfielder, 26, and last season in Liga Portugal he played 32 games, scored 2 goals and had 1 assist. In the last 3 seasons he has played 97 games, scored 9 and assisted 10 times, so he doesn’t appear to be the creative midfielder we are supposed to be looking for.
I don't know. With stats like that he sounds exactly the profile of creative player we usually go for
