I think his dad is his agent,who might be trying to set up a similar deal to that his brother had,to take effect at the end of next season,when the lad will still only be 20. I really hope he sticks with us for this next season at least....I've been mighty impressed with him and we're going to need him,or someone very like him.
Tell you what mind, Jobe for Hugo Larsson if Frankfurt want him? I’d be down for that, similar values, ridiculously, due to the ‘English tax’
Have we formally announced Le Fee yet? I assumed we’d make a bit of a song and dance of it this week. We’ll know formally of course when the retained list is out.
Im sure more targets will come out of the youtube woodwork soon like we've said, we dont need THAT many in just a few quality players in, for the right price, we have Enzo, Mephs wants to stay, even though he could be available for free, Bournemouth do a have 10m option for one more year, but as hes not playing there.. and is settled here, his family are loving life here, players that come in are feeling settled and part of something which they havent else where. with Jobe, its on him, as Dortmund play their first game of the FIFA club world cup on the 17th, they want a deal then, our players and staff are on holiday... so might not be as quick as they want. this will be a fun summer as we will target better ilk of players, and they wont go to Cardiff or Blackburn over a PREMIER LEAGUE SIDE
Singo would be a serious signing. Strong, quick and versatile. Bit rash on the ball but he's still fairly young. Has played centre back in a 4 and a 5 and has played right back and right wing back.
I don't really see him going from UCL football to us especially with Newcastle sniffing around. See what happens I suppose.
I told you we’d be making a WTF signing, being linked to him means they’re trying if we’re making signings like this I will happily take Hendo on the cheap for the dressing room and like the last 20/30 minutes of games etc
There are a lot of players who won’t play for Saudis. They keep it out of the press but it happens. Not just Saudis. City have missed players due to ownership and many other clubs.
I’m really encouraged that the guardian are reporting we want to keep Jobe. That’s massive for me after weeks of assuming he was a gonna following by days of all media outlets assuming it’s happening. Think this means even in the worst case scenario that we uplift how much money we’ll recoup
Depends on sales. If we sell Jobe for £25m then that is £35m in before we start. Expect us to hoover up another £5m - £10m in sales (Ekwah, Browne, Adil etc). We could have £45m in before we spend a penny of the prem money.
Got to factor in wage increases which some will have pre agreed and some will have been promised. Few million swallowed there.
