We have apparently bid £26.5M for Yarry Mina - the giant CB that scored for Columbia vs England. Not sure about that price but would be a very decent signing.
So apparently some Saudi Arabian club are close to signing Musa for £40mill! Surely not! £30 mill have also been mentioned. Imagine getting double the money we spent on him for him!
Fair enough - he had a good world cup and seemingly isn't in our plans so let him go and bring in someone who is.
Surely it isn't true, would be a miracle, but there is alot of money out that way burning holes in pockets, Musa would probably be on double (if not more) wages there too. Certainly would give us extra transfer funds they weren't accounting for.
For that amount of money I will help carry his bags if required. If that frees up some money for Mina that would be brilliant.
It is very plausible according to the articles I've read - although it would be closer to £30M. Musa fits the bill for them as his stock is really high atm after his world cup and details of his charity at home plus he is a devout Muslim and has never had any controversies with drink or whatever.
We have reportedly signed Ryan Loft from Spurs - he is a 20yo striker and at 6"3 and a former junior high jump champion, he could do a job here. Is being reported by Sky Sports that the deal is done but there is nothing official from the club yet. We are linked with Djene - a 26yo Togolese CB. Is only 5"10 which is short for a CB but he is stil highly rated and he could be the Togolese high jump champion or something I suppose. Amartey is linked with a move away with West Brom, Swansea and Stoke all interested - some places are reporting that West Brom have offered £4M and we have accepted. Ndidi is linked with Arsenal but has said that he isn't going to push for a transfer - will be interesting if they actually bid.
We paid £6M for Amartey. I would want about £10M for him I dont think anyone would lose any sleep if he went
Bartosz Kapustka scored for the under 23’s today I hope the lad is given a chance as there is undoubted ability there. He just needs someone to actually teach him the game and give him a chance
You've agreed a fee of £12M for Danny Ward who's stated he wants first team footy, where's Scmeichel going?
Chelsea possibly ... been a great servant ... good luck to him if he goes ... but I certainly wouldn't be thinking he'll definitely be off ... he has desperately needed some real competition for the Number 1 spot and that is more likely behind the signing
Then he better do well in training and take his chance when he gets one Kasper wont leave and is the number 1 until someone takes the gloves from him. No one has ever given Kasper a decent fight for the gloves since we signed him
Have to say I am kinda disappointed in us getting Danny Ward - the highest level he has played is Championship so £10m is a lot plus Liverpool have awful keepers and he wasn't good enough to dislodge them. If Kasper does leave, hopefully I will be proved wrong but if Ward was anywhere neat Kasper's level then he would have been retained...
We are linked with Rachid Ghezzal from Monaco - we have had good luck with Algerian wingers from the French leagues...
Im not too fussed but i did want us to sign a younger keeper who will push Kasper rather then an older player happy for happy for the wage Hamer, Schwarzer, Jakupovic and Zieler all have been pathetic at pushing Kasper
Can see Kasper being a very good fit in at Roma. I’ll be honest, not sure I’ve ever seen Ward play but he seems to be rated
