Think Brighton bid £40 mil but can see Chelsea playing him now Koulibaly has gone. I’m not sure but I remember a few links to him.

pimpin4rizeal Posted 8 July, 2023 Share Posted 8 July, 2023 (edited) Still wondering if we go back in for delap now. whilst he didn’t really do much on his loans last season he was one of the highest rated city youngsters even more then Lavia and has all the physical attributes .. could be an interesting one now his value should of dropped right down from what I read on the stoke forum their creativity was non existent and he wasn’t getting chances (sound familiar ?)

Dusic Posted 9 July, 2023 Share Posted 9 July, 2023 8 minutes ago, BotleySaint said: 26 days till the season starts. Plenty of time left.. Right? Reality is that in the first few games players will start who are later sold. As always most transfers happen in the last few weeks of the window and as a Championship team that will leave us open to losing good players. But also means we should have a strong side for the first few even if we havent made many signings. The squad that goes on the Goztepe trip, and specifically who doesn't, will be interesting...
