CB Fry Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 This time last week I'd never heard of him. Him staying is the second best outcome. At least he's not going to Leeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible to interpret that as meaning they could sell with a bit of ££££ persuasion. Sounds like time to move on though. Shame, the kid looked superb.

Dr. Kucho Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 Spent most of the day yesterday browsing the PSV forum hoping for some news. Shame he’s not coming. From what I have been reading so far it very much seems its Gakpo himself that didn’t want to move and not PSV blocking the transfer. Reports are he wants to stay with the World Cup coming up soon (he was hoping that United were in for him and didn’t want to sign for a mid table PL club).

I think a combination of PSV holding out, and the fact that Gakpo has gone from being linked to MUFC to Leeds and Saints. Honestly its a pointless move for him. Come January he could be in prime position for a panic buy to a CL team or just hang on until next year and likely to get a big move then. From what you can see it looks to me that he is beyond the SFC stepping stone thing: he doesn't need to commit to us for two years to get a move to a CL club. Hes virtually there. Might as well just stay at what is already a decent sized club for a bit longer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 I see Alex Crook tweeted just after Ornstein confirmed Gakpo isn’t moving, to say reliable sources say he’s going to Leeds. He has since deleted that tweet, now saying Saints did all they could but he’s staying at PSV. If we ever needed any more evidence that Alex Crook has no sources other than to rehash more connected journalists, here it is! Guy is a fraud. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northam soul Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 Well we certainly need to get things moving quickly now whoever is/was next on the list. Signing a decent attack minded player was surely a must hence we were willing to spend that much. Its definitely going to come out of the blue if we do pull something off.

I mean tapping up is OK now isn't it ? Naive to think it’s not normal. It just goes agent to agent rather than direct to player. It sounds like it was all agreed, he wanted to come, he’d agreed personal terms and we’d met the asking price, but then PSV pulled the plug.

Would have been the same feeling if we hadnt singed a decent centre back. I hope to god this is a negotiation tactic or we have decent alternative ready to go.

The Cat Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 I imagine he's thinking along the lines that if he stays and then plays at the World Cup he could get a transfer in January to a Champions League team.

Bigger transfer for him, more money for PSV. Yes as opposed to what some others have done, come here for two years, set the Prem alight and get your move to a top club. Given that’s the clubs business model that’s what he would have been told. Everyone is different I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 (edited) This is exactly why I didn't get myself excited over this one, it was full off too much crap in the media. Playing out every second about what he has for breakfast and what flight he's taking isn't really what you want to see. Priority for me is still a game changing attacker, so interested to see who we have as an alternative as we certainly still need one.

Suhari Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 Funny all round this deal. Looked like we agreed a fee, agreed terms and the player seemingly wanted to come. The whole thing with him playing last night was strange; then the Leeds involvement and him 'not getting on the plane'. Maaybe he did want to join us, and PSV said no - Leeds it is (since they've offered more). Could be there's another twist today (if he really fancied joining us, and if PSV really needed the money). Shame we didn't get him - looked a good player. Encouraging that SR are seemingly happy to drop this level of cash on a player though. Hopefully we don't go last-day-silly trying desparately to get an alternative in. Would prefer to wait for the 'right' signing in the next window or two.
