I mean shouldn't read TOO much into that but signing a player a club wants to give away isn't ideal

Olympique Lyonnais could soon see a significant departure in defense. To ease its finances, the club is considering parting ways with Duje Ćaleta-Car, closely followed by Sunderland. Under contract with OL until 2027, Duje Ćaleta-Car (28) may not continue his adventure in the Rhône. According to Croatian media outlet Sportske Novosti, the international defender (33 caps, 1 goal) is of great interest to Sunderland, who have just been promoted to the Premier League.

Liverpool in for Guehi. On paper they are having one of the best windows i've seen, especially if they can get a striker in.
I think I might have read it wrong ignore me, they are looking to cash in with a year leftI mean shouldn't read TOO much into that but signing a player a club wants to give away isn't ideal
This feels like one that could be Sportske Novosti reporting what they see in the Echo, Mercato then reporting what they see in Sportske Novosti, and then the Echo reporting what they see in Mercato. And the cycle begins.
Does anyone else sit and wonder what the **** is going on at the club?
Since KLD came in the club is professional has a plan and is focused on getting where they want. Gone are the days of the club being a joke I the footballing circles! Not a single club have signed one of ours players and skipped off thinking they got a steal! I mean clubs didn't even want our players if offered them on the cheap!
To appoint this fella who seems very highly rated to let the club make the next step up to how things run is another sign of forward planning and KLD refusing to let any of the work so far become stagnant!
Players now want to come here for more than a retirement village on more money than others were offering!

I think Lyon are in a bit of a financial mess and they have some sort of embargo going on - another club textor is messing about

It sounds like us and Turkish clubs want him rather then anyone being as close to signing him yet
Spot on
I don't mind the signing but it's about whoelse they bring in as I wouldn't fancy him starting week in week out with o9 or Ballard
He's def better than his time at Southampton suggests, tbf the few times i saw him there he wasn't actually that bad (was more the whole team was shocking)
I think if we are playing a lower block he would be good
Caleta Car doesn't seem like the type of high quality defender we need to bring in. He had a pretty mixed time at Lyon - was benched mid season.
Very strong in the air but we need more than that.

I think we will sign another high quality CB, this signing is likely to be to strengthen the depth at CB
Yep its all about context. If Caleta-Car is replacing Mepham then bad. If he's replacing Seelt who's going on loan, and somebody else is coming in as the main center back, then great.
Given everything we have seen, any new guy will report to KS. And really, it's hard to argue with that.
Think its unlikely he'll report to Speakman but I don't necesarilly think Speakman reports into him
I think both will report into KLD and work together. FG will have responsibility for scouting, contracts and transfers and Speakman for football operations, academy, medical, coaching etc.
That was my guess. An appointment we probably wouldn't have made had we not got promoted, and one which was planned for if we did.
100% agree and also worth repeating what I said last night. Speakman joined as a League One Technical Director. That's not a slight on him at all, but that was the calibre and experience he was capable at. He's grown with the club for sure, but having somebody with elite european level experience coming in to take the weight off him can only be a good thing for both the club and Speakman himself.
We're just not used to it mate! It takes a long time to shake off the feeling of chaos and short termism.
For so long, we were like that bloke who used to come on a stage and put some plates on the top of sticks, spin them to keep them up, and then keep running around like a dervish to keep them from dropping.
But we have hold of the plates now, and they're all fine. The progress beggars belief.
