I think it’s agent issues. The outlets seem to be mentioning an agreement with “all relevant parties”
May end up being a blessing in disguise. Lauriente wasn't a convincing PL level player imo. Also older so the higher ceiling to develop is not necessarily there.
Its just too weird saying agreement with all parties when hes already flew for his medical very strange wonder if theres a chance it still goes ahead
I’m not gonna sit and convince myself that lauriente wasn’t that good now he’s not coming. His stats were very solid in a much higher quality league than where we’ve bought from so far bar Adingra. massive shame for me but I’ll leave it there
I don’t actually feel too down about this one. I trust the club more now than I ever have and if they think we can get better value elsewhere, then they have my support.
His club announced he had said his goodbyes yesterday and was leaving. Thinks its fairly obvious his agents have moved the goalposts. His loss and we move on to other targets
Well since we do Which is why that and the "all parties" comment suggests it may have been agent issues
He looked a decent player from the videos I saw but we're not a club that will be taken for mugs anymore. Screams of agents playing funny buggers. We no doubt have other options.
I’m sure I read yesterday this was Mundle’s first surgery and that they were doing it because he keeps tearing it, rather than a second surgery?
I liked the look of Lauriente so i'm a bit disappointed, even if I thought he wasn't exactly what we needed. However, I can't complain about us being the ones who have pulled out. If the deal isn't right for us then don't do it.
