Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

[Alfa]

Palace have offered Man City £15m for Akanji. I know he’s getting on a bit but still a very good player.

Swiss too ……haway KLD play the comrade card again !

 

[Super Ted]

I would like two to come in now, Seelt is no where near good enough + Ballard always seems to have injuries.

Lucumi, Disasi, Ballard, Alderete, with O'Nien as versatile cover.

 

[Nicky Winterwasp]

Reinildo and Mukiele can play CB no problem. We aren't the only side without all the pieces yet and to be fair there's a few teams who already look a lot worse than we did in our opening 2 games.

I dont think you'll see many worse performances than ours against Burnley in that second half, given the context of the opposition etc.

West Ham second half v Chelsea, West Ham second half v us, Leeds 90 mins v Arsenal, Wolves 90 mins v Bournemouth.

Very harsh this.

They nicked an early goal and defended for their lives in a disgusting block. 80% of teams would struggle in that situation

Sick note and huge wages

Sick note and huge wages

Wages will be way out of our reach for thos season...we stay up and 100 grand a week wages might be a thing.

West Ham second half v Chelsea, West Ham second half v us, Leeds 90 mins v Arsenal, Wolves 90 mins v Bournemouth.

Chelsea, arsenal and wven Bournemouth are lightyears ahead of Burnley.

So are West Ham, and we beat them comfortably. It was an off day, or even 45 mins. We'll have them as will plenty of others. No need to overreact imo.

 

[NGPost]

Think we'll shift reinildo into the c/b alongside alderete bring in the lad that can play left back. This isn't a go at seelt cause he's done good but we need that extra speed and experience at the back

 

[darius]

Insane that a PL team like ourselves have hung around for so long on this one.

Not really. Issaac, Liverpool, Guieu at Palace..... Their will be lots of deals done later on.

Did you watch the first 80 mins of Everton at Leeds ?

 

[zebediah]

Isn't the whole issue that we have met the release clause but they have said we met it too late in the window to accept it?
I guess that would be the legal argument.

Agree entirely that it's early days and no need to react etc, but your comment about a few teams already looking a lot worse than us is equally an over reaction really.

 

[Sunderlandellight]

Somone else is most certainly needed to replace Ballard. Not sure after all this drama that it's really meant to be Lucumi. He wasn't bothered about coming here. Nobody else seemed to be in for him, so he changed his mind. His club got greedy/decided to hang onto him. Not that impressed with his highlights and he doesn't even seem that good statistically compared to others out there.

Fair enough. I just mean I’d take our start over some teams who are more established than us really.

The legal argument - which won’t happen - is something to do with article 17 or something to do with player contracts. It’s been mentioned with Isak as well.

The release clause ended earlier in the summer. We’ve since met it, presumably through staggered payments and add ons rather than in one go, and I get the sense Lucumi’s agent thinks this is a fair price (perhaps unofficially agreed with Bologna) but they’re now trying to squeeze every last euro out of us

Mukiele.

Legal argument for what?

Mukiele.

Yeah, makes sense to put Mukiele there as RCB and leave the rest as they were.
