HarvSFC Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 £2m is nothing to Premier League teams. Although, again, we don't seem to have much spending power, while Leeds chuck £30m on a Spain international. Did they not learn anything after the last time?

Harry_SFC Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 Personally think we will miss out on Mckennie - by the time we manage to raise the funds (if at all) I'd imagine someone else would've signed him. No doubt the club have other options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a little bit of Alan Ball in his style...high energy, breaks the play up and then keeps it very simple. Exactly what we need in front of the the CBs.

Lighthouse Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 At least if it is a loan this season he can’t pull the obvious trick of being absolutely world class for two games against us and sh*te for all the others. On the other hand, that’d almost be worth it to offload him before Fulham realise he’s just a Poundland Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 Bit of a shame re lemina he seems to have become useless in many posters eyes since Ralph exiled him. But you only have to look back at peoples opinions before that and he was regarded as one of our best players, would have liked to see if we could have gotten him going with a good chance under rh. anyway since we are not gonna use him hopefully this along with reed leaving frees up the wages to get our hoj replacement in quickly. is this a coincidence that this has happened so fast on the day Weston is linked with juve? As we turned down lemina loan to galatasary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 Lemina is coasting though his career and wasting his talents. Despite earning huge sums of money he can't be arsed to put the work or commitment in. He has a very poor attitude and has stolen a living as a professional footballer.

S-Clarke Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 So Reed and Lemina going will mean all go on a new midfielder, I imagine. There will be a nice chunk of wages saved and a loan fee for Lemina, and a nice £8-10m for Reed. Although we may need to use that money to help pay for the kit sponsor debacle....who knows how that will impact us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted 26 August, 2020 Share Posted 26 August, 2020 Still thinking maybe we are rushing these deals through to try and get McKennie done. Seems fishy to me they happen so fast on the day juve are linked to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost count how many times he's been left flat footed as the ball sails past him, especially low in the corner. He often gave the impression he was playing in Wellies. Even at his best I don't think he was better than McCarthy who has made some good saves involving diving and using his hands, especially during our brush with relegation under Hughes (Everton and Swansea away spring to mind). Forster I expect would have remained rooted to the ground. Edited 27 August, 2020 by Badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah don't get that. Also, Chilwell going for £45m after Leicester originally asking for £80m......imagine the meltdown if that was us!

Forster I expect would have remained rooted to the ground. I'm not expecting any change in the keeper he was when he first arrived here. His technique is fundamentally poor. He's vulnerable to low shots because he doesn't read situations, is very static, and tries to dive from a standstill position. That limits both his side-to-side range and the speed with which he gets down. You can coach technique to a 12 year-old but not a 32 year-old. If he hadn't been 6' 7" nobody would have given him the time of day - never mind the contract Les gave him. On a human level I hope he's conquered his issues, and I'll never forget that one-off performance at Arsenal, but I don't see him playing much here. Gunn is a far better rehabilitation candidate than Forster, so I hope we think twice before we view Forster as the backup - or, worse yet, the starter.
