egg Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 9 minutes ago, Saint Fan CaM said: Absolutely - a swing from 8m to 3.5m is humiliating to say the least. There must be something very unappealing about ABK for him to find himself without a deal on the last day of the window. I think the Dortmund deal was initially a sale but dressed up as a loan with obligation, and that the "loan fee" was a big one as in reality it was the first tranche of the transfer fee. It looks like that's collapsed for some reason so we're now looking for a conventional loan, with a loan fee to match. Nothing humiliating about it at all, just a shift from a sale to a loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 A quick visit for my post 1/3 of the day and to get a baseline - page 319, no arrivals or departures confirmed. Fortunately I'm busy today, so I'll pop back at prosecco o'clock or maybe even a Quob sparkler to see where we are. 21 minutes ago, austsaint said: If KWP stays, I'm opening my last decent bottle of Burgundy, given to me by a mate after I did his driveway. Decent?! Let us be the judge of that! 😉 I don't often have Burgundy and often disappointed. But can't beat mulling over the battle of Waterloo with a decent Beaune.. Back later. Have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 A.B-K Seems weird to be trying to get rid of a young player who's recently become a full German international. I know he was injured quite a lot but surely he's had the op on his shoulder over the summer? Unless he really is crocked, he will be a top player IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 I think ABK will be a top player, but equally I think it was clear when he arrived he wouldn’t be here long - getting relegated has clearly accelerated his desire to move on. I am surprised he hasn’t had more Prem interest, Spurs would be well advised to sign him imo, and it’d be a good move for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SambaMaverick Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 Two big clubs like that were never going to agree to an obligation/permanent deal with the question marks over ABK's injuries and even to a certain extent, his performances. Personally, I think they were just looking for a cheap stop gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice there’s very little talk of a contract deal between any club and the player…suggests he and his agent are not easy people to deal with.

His injury record would make a sale difficult, and there's no humiliation or blame for other clubs only wanting to take him on loan.

Was one highly rated at City and Celtic but clearly never lived up to the hype. Ross Stewart, I know nothing about. Jury’s out on that one. Would rather keep Che Adams. Bear in mind the squad will probably be heading up north tomorrow afternoon, imagine the club do some social media snippets of the players travelling up - it might shut a few people up straight away. 😂 Slightly worried that you think signing their 2 best players is underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
