Give it to Ron Posted 24 August, 2016 Share Posted 24 August, 2016 Now Steau are definitely out, I wonder if we'll see Stanciu sign. ITKs seem to be saying one signing is almost done, Boufall seems to be still deciding on fee, so my guess is Stanciu, especially as he is in the country. Think the comments from their president gave me hope their was something in this. Fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Forest Steve Posted 24 August, 2016 Share Posted 24 August, 2016 So yippee great stuff I am over the moon we are signing a current crocked player who disappears when we need him the most our squad is brimming with talent FFS Is that what you wanted? Personally I am bothered if it's just him if it's Stanciu as well then fine . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So you really think Les is going to spend 20 mil on a 'crocked' player ? He recovering from an op and will be back in training in the next couple of weeks FFS ...... also VW and Mane would have disappeared in January for Afcon, so I assume you're happy they've gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITKs seem to be saying one signing is almost done, Boufall seems to be still deciding on fee, so my guess is Stanciu, especially as he is in the country. AR-10 said we had one virtually done and another one in advanced talks. Assuming Boufal is the 1st one, and it's one of the players mentioned in reports recently: - Sofiane Boufal - Nicolae Stanciu - Rachid Ghezzal - Simone Zaza - Sebastien Haller Stanciu is the most likely one based on reports in Romania. But I would assume it would be a striker. We shall see. Fingers crossed Les & Ross are keeping tabs on a centre-back too, just in-case the Fonte situation escalates.

With Mane and Wanyama I was happy with what we had for the formation we were playing. At the moment we don't have that and as I have said if we get Stanciu as well then great.

I think it's the other way round, Stanciu is the virtually done one, with probably us just waiting for them to be confirmed out of the champions league and Boufal is the advanced talks one as the press still seem to be saying the fee is being discussed.

Momentum was an often used word at Olympics and we need some starting soon and get a bit of trust in Puel and with our summer exodus and rumour.

Versailles_Saint Posted 24 August, 2016 Share Posted 24 August, 2016 I remember when we bought Lovren. The Lyon fans couldn't believe we were prepared to pay so much for someone they thought was a liability. They were celebrating. Boufal hasn't been confirmed yet, but this time the Lille fans are singing his praises on social media. Many are very disappointed he is leaving. They think he will shine in the PL.

baggytrousers Posted 24 August, 2016 Share Posted 24 August, 2016 A young, talented but pretty inconsistent no.10 who's recovering from a nontrivial injury and coming to a brand new league and country. What's not to like. Good to see your natural positivity shining through. Why on earth would the club want to sign someone like this : https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/20/europe-transfer-targets-under-23-in-demand http://www.just-football.com/2015/09/top-10-best-ligue-1-young-talents-to-watch-in-2015-16-jf60-youngsters/ http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/features/sofiane-boufal-meet-lilles-spurs-scouted-midfielder-whos-throwback-hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
