There would be no way the club would sign off on a player like that, on the wages he was reportedly wanting, with his injury record. Leeds can have him.
Aye I do think it sounds unrealistic for us given his age and demands, not really the Xhaka type of signing. Only thing that convinces me that we may have been in for him is that he’s a free so we could offer more wages. To make him the highest paid at the club would surely be £100k+ though, can’t imagine Xhaka on much less
My information from a Chelsea lad is that Guiu is the real deal. Get the ball in to him....he'll make the difference.
We're almost there, looking pretty strong. I think it's obvious where we need to strengthen still. RCB with Seelt to go on loan RW with Talbi having the flexibility to cover on the left of needed. RB with Huggins to go on loan CF if we can find an elite player that changes the game. I love our midfield 6 options, happy with GK, LB, LCB, LW and content with strikers.
I can imagine it went like this Dominic, what's the contract you're looking for......... please log in to view this image See ya in a bit. Mug.
Wonder what will happen with cirkin and neil then? No matter if neil says he wants to stay if they dont sign up they should be sold imo and i think they will
Hopefully they both sign and stay in the squad, they're both young and can potentially improve enough to contribute.
Yeah this is my thinking. As an aside I don’t think Hjelde counts as homegrown. He joined leeds from Celtic the day after his 18th birthday. I think we’ll be fine this season. As I said before I think we’ll be far less successful at shifting unwanted players than most think, so there’ll be plenty of names we can use. Where it starts to get more difficult is for next season. It wouldn’t surprise me if most/all of our purchases next summer need to be homegrown players, just to make it to the number.
The phrase 'beggars can't be choosers" springs to mind. We've enough players with injury records. Cracking player but I reckon we've dodged a bullet imo.
Looks as though Southampton will be selling Mateus Fernandes to West Ham, who's rated around £30m ... ... and signing Rudoni, from Coventry, who they'll get for around £15m. (Yes the same Rudoni their fans believe the bidding would start at £25+.) Looks like being a poor season for Coventry who'll be very lucky to make the playoffs. The 3-0 win against us fried their brains and made them think Lampard was a tactical genius ... ... in reality it's always the same endless crosses and playing the percentage game.
Ha'way man, you might as well have just said Evanilson or Solanke. About the same chance and the same price.
