Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[SAFC Wilks]

After this one, we really need to focus all efforts into CB and GK for the time being.

 

[safcrd16]

Keith/Fab will follow it up if true

 

[Gary Rowell world]

Go on then I will answer.

I would not swap Neil for Xhaka this summer.

Xhaka 3x better than Neil.

 

[Smug in Boots]

I saw a few pages had gone on since I checked earlier this morning and got excited that we might have a positive update about us.

Nothing of the sort, just the continued debate about ages.

Ah well, back to work.

True enough mate …

… but it’s a chat forum not a news service

If they get him and Stach that's an extremely physical midfield

I reckon we just chat random **** one night on this thread to annoy ones reading it in the morning.

First time I’m questioning our recruitment

not because he’s bad but unless Mundle is off another right footed winger doesn’t make sense to me

Good player at least

He can also play RW and as a striker. Same as rusyn was supposed to do.

Having the tactical flexibility to have wingers who either cut in, or run down the by-line and stick a cross in is important imo.

Plus all our signings are young, maybe Rlb wants the ability to rotate the squad and not have to worry about our players being run into the ground. If we're going for pace and athleticism it makes sense imo

 

[Gary Rowell world]

The club also know how vital experience is in this league. I think they’d be up for losing rather than having resell value on a couple of proper quality.

in fact we wouldn’t even be entertaining the negotiations if we weren’t up for it

if buy some miracle will bring xhaka to the club, imagine how much he will bring on the youngsters such as rigg. he could add 10-15m value onto our midfield players which means ha has paid for himself

Confused on where he fits in a farke team

atm their midfield options are

longstaff
Stach
Tanaka
Ampadu
Gruev
Aaronson

very very defensive

 

[Frazier the Lion]

It doesn't but i'd expect in the 18-25m range

That feels a bit steep for a signing from Serie B who is approaching 27 if we're also intend to play him in a position that he's rarely played in recent times. If he comes in he probably needs to be the last attacking player of the summer (barring replacements for unforeseen exits), which maybe puts a different spin on things. We can't just keep collecting players because they're nice. We're rapidly running out of available minutes for them. Hopefully the club feels it has found an edge if this one is real. Feels like he could cover multiple roles at least.

As the 10 maybe?

 

[MadMackem77]

he can cover all 3 roles tbf and seems to have attributes that could work up top for us

I’m not sure he’d be THAT good at centre forward in the prem.

I’m not convinced he has the striker movement or physicality we need.

id solely play him on the wing personally

RLB knows this lad so that gives me some comfort

I dont mind having extra attackers, as feel there's always a good chance you'll use them off the bench at least

 

[MadMackem77]

Maybe but I’m not convinced he’s an out and out 10.

I think he would suit our version of a 10, but in fries system it’s very much the central sitter between lines

would be an interesting watch for sure

 

[jimjamsafc]

Did I miss Fabrizo tweeting about a new deal being offered to Mundle yesterday?

All abit weird this one

His stats from lorient where he was at his most highly rated and where RLB worked with him

 

[Scout73]

Yep i thknk we will play there

Sounds like Ampadu might be used as a CB this season according to my Leeds mates

 

[Frazier the Lion]

I reckon it's this. Thinking back to Isidor turning up having played most of his senior football at LW and now there's no chance we'd have him out there.

FWIW Transfermarkt suggests that his time at Lorient was mostly spent on the right. He also played centrally there as much as he did lw. Maybe Le Bris and Ghisolfi are spotting something that others aren't. Hope so as it feels like a hat on a hat otherwise

 

[Gary Rowell world]

Even with all the stalling on a contract I just can’t see where Neil goes? Abroad surely? If he wanted prem football there’s no better place than his boyhood club you’d imagine

Genuine question which other Premier League club is going to guarantee Neil start every week. Very few I bet
