Chez Posted 18 January, 2022 Share Posted 18 January, 2022 getting an exciting young player on a `free'. Sounds too good to be true. Can't recall us managing to grab talent like that before. Perhaps the Livramento signing will stand us in great stead if we are genuinely interested. Lots of nice stuff on the youtube video.

I've lost count the number of times he's got the ball stuck under his feet. Injured from the off, lots of niggling injuries thereafter and a failure to take the chances offered him so far. Still only 23, but with 18 months left on his contract he needs to do something in the second half of the season, otherwise we'd be looking to offload in the summer to try and recoup a few bob of the £14m we spent. Doubt anyone is going to pay a fee though. They'll just sign him on loan and then pick him up for free the summer after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Haaland/Sancho example at Dortmund might have convinced a few that two years at a club that will definitely play you every week before you hit 22/23 is better for your career trajectory.

Chez Posted 19 January, 2022 Share Posted 19 January, 2022 I wonder what the philosophy of the new owner/management team is relating to agents fees, especially when dealing with out of contract, but in demand players? Previously we haven't managed to pick up too many out of contract players, which can be for any number of reasons, not least that we might not have wanted them, but perhaps the huge agents fee required these days (not to mention larger player wages) has put us off? If you are simply paying the multi millions to the agent/player in a signing on fee, rather than a transfer fee to the selling club, the total cost of ownership might exceed that of an alternative, `in contract' player. Carvalho for example, will no doubt be far from free. You let you contract run down for a reason - massive signing on fee and much bigger wage, compensating for the lack of a transfer fee. Maybe its time to start reporting these deals as complete packages, including all costs, as was the case with the recent `Harland to Real Madrid £292m package' news story that did the rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there was a specific ‘vote’ on the ability to get matches postponed, all cases are reviewed individually by the premier league, I believe there was a vote early December about a winter break but it would have resulted in a loss of revenue so was rejected The PL has basically set a precedent by allowing clubs to postpone fixtures for more than just COVID cases now, and we’ve even had the likes of Liverpool having some very ‘fishy’ cases of 13 fakse positives Even if it did go to a vote the issue still lies with the premier league overall though, they are in charge of maintaining the sporting integrity of the competition and are failing miserably at it This year into next was always going to be difficult with AFCON, COVID and the December WC this calendar year… I can only see the situation being made worse when they inevitably have to extend the season to accommodate these postponements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiberalCommunist Posted 19 January, 2022 Share Posted 19 January, 2022 He was one of our best players last season. Just what has happened to change that. Quite often, a player realises he can get paid more, and starts initiating a move. We have seen this loads. But that does not appear to be the case with KWP. No one knew Tino was going to be so accomplished. But that does not explain this situation. We need to understand what has happened, so we can learn from it. I still feel KWP can be a key player for us. I will be gutted if we lose him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
