I expect this one is about to happen.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...open-talks-Genk-deal-right-Joakim-Maehle.html

Joakim Mæhle in, Cedric out.

He's a 21-year-old right-back from Denmark, playing for Genk in Belgium's top flight and the Europa League.

6'1", fast and looks able to remain composed and deliver smart passes in the final third too. Seems like quite a high-octane right-back. He is reported as having a high work-rate towards both attacking and defending.

Could be a smart (and relatively cheap) signing if Ralph believes he can develop him and help him adapt to English football.

Apparently he has a release fee of around €11m.

Looks like he has the makings of a good player from the snippets I've seen and heard so far. Seems to want to play on the front foot as an aggressive and forward-thinking full-back.

In before someone else dredges up his FIFA stats... (I'm not for a moment suggesting FIFA can tell us if he'll be a success or not, but I guess it can highlight some key areas and traits in his game - as I assume he's a relative unknown for nearly everyone here)

His top 10 stats are...

89 sprint speed
88 stamina
87 acceleration
80 jumping
75 dribbling
74 tackling
73 crossing
73 strength
72 passing
71 ball control

Current rating: 72/100
Potential rating: 84/100


And now I'm logging off and calling it a night. <laugh>

Good night :-)
 
Been pretty impressed with what i've seen of Valery and Ramsay so far, but I guess this would let Kayne develop more naturally maybe on loan or in the U23s.

Plus this bloke can play in midfield too.

Bringing in a RB at this time does seem rather strange to me, it doesn’t seem to be a position we have a major problem with and won’t really help the spine of the team.
A good quality CB would be my main target if we are only got the money for one player or a striker/winger as my second choice
 
If he can cut out crosses he already a upgrade on Cedric...
 
Good stuff, this was a top priority for 3 at the back.

At Chelsea away we had most our opportunities wasted because our wing backs failed to take advantage

Cedric can’t cross, Valery shows willing, but as yet I don’t remember any serious effective forward play since his move into the team.
There is a player in there, but he is playing with a bit of fear at the moment. Think he’ll benefit from this spell of football, but he will probably need a season of rotation to adapt to the pace of the league.

Something worth considering for everyone, but especially people who are perhaps struggling to understand this move.

Cedric is 18 months from the end of his contract with no interest in renewing, and Ralph doesn’t fancy him either.

He’s 27 and therefore now is pretty much the perfect time to cash in on him. Especially in January when the market could be inflated beyond the sort of fee we could command in the summer. Especially with the clock ticking on his time here.

Is it because of Cedric's silly moustache?
