Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What are you talking about, the lad has endured a nigh on season long stomach injury that has limited his ability to play. You know nothing about his attitude during training so why make such a tasteless remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 7 July, 2019 Share Posted 7 July, 2019 At the end of the day another one where winning “the race” to his signature was probably pretty easy. harsh as it may sound but Gabbi was easy to get too, as he scored in flashes, if he was prolific we wouldn’t have been in the running for him. A Mane or Pelle will be along soon enough, never know Boufal might respond to Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted 7 July, 2019 Share Posted 7 July, 2019 Has it all in his locker - but he clearly isn’t interested. Can’t see the top clubs touching him due to that, although if cheap enough they may use him as bench filler. Like to see the stats but I can’t believe results wise we are any worse on his frequent visits to the physio. He clearly wants out so we might as well get rid if we can recoup original budget.

Mr X Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 Isn't lemina more talented overall than boufal though? Boufal seemed all tricks & nothing else & went down like a feather at the slightest contact! he's done even less than lemina has done for the club Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 Clearly talented and would be sad to see him go but if he does which looks likely now, pay the money and bring in Kelvin Phillips He’s not been the same player since Niall Quinn retired.

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 He's probably the one we could potentially get value from. But if we're honest he is just another indictment of our horrific transfer policy over the last few years. He'll never fulfil his potential at the top because he lacks some key elements as a professional and in his football brain. Not denying his talent, but you need more than that.

Dusic Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 Mail says we have had enquiries from Man Utd, Arsenal and Leicester, plus Atalanta.

verlaine1979 Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 Don't Leeds want £30m+ for Phillips? Pretty sure that puts him out of our price range regardless of what we get for Lemina. And even if we could afford it, £30m spent on a good CB would be more transformative to the team than upgrading Lemina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neef Posted 8 July, 2019 Share Posted 8 July, 2019 Nothing to see with the stuff about attitude etc, I don't think any of that is true. It comes down to money. He's a good player in a position where we are strong. That means we can fetch a decent fee without weakening ourselves, and then can re-invest where we are light (CB).

jawillwill Posted 9 July, 2019 Share Posted 9 July, 2019 Sorry, I forgot, they probably became pen pals when Mario was at Juventus. Explains why he sends pictures of himself to his mate on his birthday. Nothing to do with being left out of the pre-season squad and VvD famously deciding to leave Lemina's current employer on bad terms a couple of years ago.

If he does go and isn't replaced, will Hoj, Romeu and JWP be sufficient, given that Slattery doesn't look good enough and Reed looks likely to be moved on. Who says he won’t be replaced? I’d rather a consistent, fit, pretty good defensive midfielder that wants to be here than an excellent enigma that performs once in a blue moon, is injured a lot and doesn’t want to be here. Let him go if the price is right. It seems crazy that we could make a profit on a player that’s not exactly excelled in his time here, but, similar to Mings transfer, that’s the current market for you. With Lemina leaving and Austin, Gallagher, Boufal, Clasie and the keepers incoming transfer fees, we’d have quite the transfer kitty and a huge saving on wages. Not to mention what we’d do with Hoedt, Carillo, Cedric, Reed etc. It will be an exciting end to the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly keen to get rid then. I'd have hoped we'd have looked for £20-25m given the current market although he hasn't shown a great deal to justify it. I suspect this might be similar to the Fonte situation, linked with big clubs but eventually accepting a move to West Ham or Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vin Posted 9 July, 2019 Share Posted 9 July, 2019 Thought that he had a very good first half - couple of great dribbles and set up a good chance for Marega. Looks to have good close control, very quick and a good change of pace - burst past his full back from a standing start on a couple of occasions. As has been mentioned he drew lots of fouls. Faded a tad in the second half but still looked dangerous in patches - should have shown a bit of composure when through on goal but it was a tight angle and he seemed caught in two minds. All in all thought he looked very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
