Diarra and Saki who Sunderland offered asking price and we low balled. He’s probably not counting those as we pulled out when they said no. That’s another huge area where we wasted time in low balling seeing who’d bite
Well the out of contract helps, he can score from midfield (2nd behind Piroe in Champs Golden boot), came through Scum academy. Not sure what else (oh takes a decent penalty). Not a Beundia but would give us options going forward. But guess you knew that before you posted .
Apparently the clickbait sites all pushing Brownhill to Leeds and WHU. Cockney news media rubbishing it and say he wants £100k per week and if not will wait for Suadi clubs. Hopefully Leeds have fooked him off. He may have had one great season but refused a contract with the club he was with, hawked himself around as if he was messiah all summer so can fook off for me. He doesn’t know the meaning of showing himself at the peak of his art or skills in his chosen line of work. He just wants cash. If he was so good he would be in the prem now or Italy, France, nobody wants the cnut
108 PL appearances and 18 goals from midfield last season, I’d give him the going rate wage and 2million signing on fee and consider it a bargain
If we have concerns over tanaka and amps injuries then there’s an argument for him. It’s obvious he’s pushing the boundaries with his wage demands if wolves couldn’t afford him. He’s 30 in a few months time. He’s run down his contract to get his retirement fund stocked up. Doubt he gives a hoot who he plays for… be surprised if he didn’t end up in Saudi.
No to Brownhill for me. I think we go with what we've got now. Only free agent I'd take would be Eriksen if he wasn't demanding too much. He can find the final pass. Failing at scum means nothing. Give him a 1 year contract. He'd be useful off the bench.
Been waiting for Mitrovic name to drop somewhere as he was trying to get his contract terminated in Saudi. Had a hope he joined us on a free, but guess he still likes the money as he is now in Qatar playing for Al Rayyan alongside our old mate Rodrigo
Brownhill on a free is worth a shot, we have a space and if we’re playing a 3 man midfield we could do with him. Then we have Gruev to cover Ampadu, Longstaff to cover Tanaka & Brownhill to cover Stach.
On the plus side this should give our wingers competition and something to play for as both spots are up for grabs. Go get goals and assists or we’ve got other players waiting in the wings to get a game.
Brownhill won’t be coming. Meslier is in the 25 man squad so we don’t have a space available. That ends that chat.
