Wade Garrett Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 1 hour ago, S-Clarke said: Why judge him on goal scoring though? Seems a bizarre stat to use against him. If he was a striker, fair enough, but he's a deeper CM. Just made a bit of a tit of myself. I thought he was an attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably somewhat unlikely, but I imagine SR are looking around at the PL and seeing Forest, Leeds, WHU, Villa and even everton spending £30m upwards on individual players this summer. I don't think the ''we won't spend £30-40m'' on a single is particularly sustainable when you see the rest of the league.

West Ham’s Paqueta deal included like £13 million of add ons so it’s possible. I can see this deal happening, it has the kind of feel as to when Man City signed Robinho shortly after they got their Billions. @SuperSAINT you’re going to be a busy bunny the next two days.

His legs have gone as we saw last season, but he's been great under Ralph. It's hard not to begrudge him a move back home on a decent secure contract, he's only got 1 year left here and obviously we're not looking to extend. We can't leave ourselves short though, so he'd need to be replaced with experience. Nothing other than good things to say about him if he does go. Leaves in a similar vein to Yoshi, signed as a squad player but never moaned, complained and contributed when required.

Sheaf Saint Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 1 minute ago, goodymatt said: Seems they are resigned to Gakpo leaving then, just a question of us coming to an agreement on the fee (if, as most outlets are reporting, we are the frontrunners to sign him). At this stage, it's getting far too late for clubs and agents to start the process of negotiating personal terms so you'd think the only transfers that will happen now are ones where this has already been settled and it's just the clubs agreeing the sale price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
