i wonder if with so little time left and some players going on international duty, we might see medicals in Madrid/Paris/London etc as necessary. I’ve been quite confident that Lucumi gets done eventually but not so sure now. If Bologna say they can’t find a replacement, not sure what bargaining tools we have on the final day.
No there is a potential fee for if he doesnt play enough games, like a sanction from chelsea essentially.
Can’t say I know much about him but his stats don’t look great. More knowledgeable people might know more obvs
Yeah hes really quite raw, 2 years ago was in the spanish non-league then a year ago was in the third tier. Getafe took a "punt" although not really as he was quite highly touted in spain, I think he ends up a 20 goal+assist a season player if he keeps developing even remotely close to how he has so far in his career. Big physical nuisance but surprisingly technical, palace seems a good fit although its an eze replacement with a fraction of the chance creation and more pure running and bullying people alongside mateta.
His stats might be a bit all over the place cos he started in centre mid, but recently is a striker. He’s got a bit of everything and is a 6”3 powerful unit. Young with room to grow. Will be a good signing for someone but might need a bit of time to adapt.
I picked up on your earlier post and thought that you said we let Ekwah go free. I see where you were going now
£5m was the fee paid by Chelsea to Man Utd to release them from their obligation to buy Sancho after his loan had ended. I imagine an initial loan fee was paid when Sancho went there in the first place. Some impression he must have made!
They wanted to keep him to be fair but he wanted them to match his current salary. Same reason he is still there and will be until his contract ends. Shame on a way cos he was showing flashes of getting back to be decent at times at Chelsea. We were fleetingly linked early summer we probs heard about the 300k a week and whistled out the room.
It’s fairly mad to me that with less than 24 hours to go of the window with us, in my opinion, needing to do 15 or so more pieces of business that this thread is falling down the board with no posts for 45 minutes due to the lack of links. I personally fully expect that we’re going to fall short of what we need to do now, at least on outgoings.
