There is absolutely not a chance in hell we'd land Outarra btw as much as I'd love it
Similar likelihood of us getting Amad, in my opinion

Getting Mepham in as a temporary starter/squad player is starting to look more and more appealing like.
Hope not, he's not good enough for the PL

He was class the start of last season but thought he was pretty average 2nd half of the year

It's telling that in our 3 biggest games of the season he was dropped

We need better than him

Yes he would start for us at the minute, but that shouldn't be the bar of whether we sign someone. Tanganga at Milwall would start for us at this minute but he's never a PL CB
 
Rlb has basically said seelt is going out on loan so obviously doesnt think hes ready

hes been linked with brentford tbf
 
Lucumi is a top quality cb and Italian teams are a right stubborn lot re fees etc.

They know they have to sell him because he’ll leave for free next summer if not. It’s all part of the negotiating game. Standard practice.
I think it’s more about getting who they want to replace . I’d say if the West Brom deal had clicked he’d be here.
 
Aye, we need better, but he'd be a perfect early season stop gap, and later squad player. Particularly as he has played a canny few Premier League games and already knows his way around the club.

You're probably right but it’s not really a tempting offer for him.

‘Move from one end of the country to the other and we’ll give you the odd game’.

Has he? The picture in my mind might be way off then - I thought they'd be asking for 50m+ easily with his age

We need to buy 2 centre backs better than him. Even if/when we do, do we still not need a centre back of his ilk floating around the place in case of emergencies?
 
It's a fitness thing. Needs to get up to speed.
Interesting. Do they think he has the quality....I haven't seen enough of him,....I've liked what I have seen....but,if it's just a matter of him getting match fitness,it wouldn't make sense to send him out on loan?

€40m euros the price for Diakite

Bournemouth haven't reached it yet

So still not done but I can't see us going that high anyway

They rate him massively. I think there is a difference to get match fitness in a league where he is going to play more at less intense than the PL, then just throwing him straight into the PL chaos.

If we loan him out though,we lose his services for the duration.If he stays and plays in the 21s for half a dozen matches,won't that get him up to speed?

It's just not the same. Competitive Vs well, just not. If we don't get who we want, he maybe the back up here for now. If we do, he will go on loan to get some competitive games in.
