Lazlo78 Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 He has been increasingly marginalised at Dortmund over the last few seasons, so a move away would make sense. His stats for the season from https://www.transfermarkt.com/thomas-delaney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/91849/wettbewerb/L1/saison/2020: 33 league games: "Squad: 25, Starting eleven: 13, Substituted in: 6, On the bench: 6, Suspended: 1, Injured: 7," He is listed as a defensive midfielder but I see him more as a box-to-box midfielder with a decent shot...

igsey Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 Seems more like a lazy Saints -> Vestergaard/Hojbjerg -> Danish players link to me. Doesn't really fit our profile for new signings, and we have Romeu (and arguably JWP) for the "experienced" midfielder role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo1976 Posted 18 May, 2021 Share Posted 18 May, 2021 1 hour ago, Matthew Le God said: No we don't. Players who would improve us are available a lot cheaper than that. Of course the scouting needs to be spot on. I'm sure we are all happy with signing Armstrong for £7m, Romeu for £5m, Bednarek for £5m, Salisu for £11m, Diallo for £12m. And the only one that's outstanding there is Armstrong,the others are there through at sometime default because there are no other options.But im sure there are some worthy bargains to be had out there, just have to be lucky in finding them,and not busting the sparse budget on a we thought he was the right price superstar buy.

Maybe we are planning to sell 2 of the 3 to pay for him. I know nothing of this player but siging a keeper in this price range would be a very decent sign.

He won't cost anywhere close to that, a second choice keeper with 1 year left on his contract FFS. Whoever suggested £25m is smoking some very strong stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had kept Lemina for the season i can tell you we would be much higher in the table as we could have managed our injury crisis better and resolved our right back issue by playing ward prowse there, without thinking of diminishing our midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 19 May, 2021 Share Posted 19 May, 2021 It's nice of all these linked players to contemplate joining a team that pays them with magic beans, because I very much doubt we have the money to pay for any of them without selling! 😄 I don't mind who we sign as long as the left back is great. A striker than can miraculously come and do a Michu would be nice too, and an AM that can create like Tadic. I also hope I grow wings and fly to the Maldives.
