Adingra

Aye, very much so for these folks.

Dmitry bought the island of Skorpios as gift for his daughter Ekaterina a snip at £153M. In 2011 he bought her a new York apartment for $90M, set the record for the most ever paid per square foot in new York city.

He's spent billions on his art collection. Made about $450M back though by selling the mags owner a moody alleged "copy" of a Leonardo Da Vinci works, the highest price ever paid for a painting.

Mental that this bloke was at the play off final.
 

Capable of great things going forward but not quite at the level we needed defensively. Really exciting player though who is quality with both feet will try to make things happen. His game against Leeds had some great moments.

I wouldn't have been against having him as a bench option but he is a big earner and we now have Talbi and Angulo who look like left wing is their best position and will be here next year.
 
I see Monaco are playing the usual "yeah we want him but can we re-negotiate the agreed fee, because you are a premier league club and have loads of money".

Tell them fuck off, especially as they have about £100m incoming soon from Akliouche and Camera sales.

Where is this being reported ?

Edit - found the article

Or tell them to include Camera in the renegotiation
 
I see Adingra is in the Ivory Coast squad for the WC (he'll be facing off against Angulo for Ecuardor in the first game where it'll be interesting to see how they compare if they both play).

Given Adingra has got game time in recent friendlies and has popped up with a goal I wouldn't be surprised in their recent game against S. Korea then I can see him potentially raising his profile/value at the WC which would help us if we are looking for buyers.

It's a shame he is such an expensive asset to hold onto as I do like a lot of what he offers as an attacking threat, especially if we're chasing a game and needing a goal. You effectively need to use him as a double-edged sword who you know can cost you a goal but could get you one at the other end. We have clearly decided he is surplus though with two other left wingers ahead of him in Talbi and Angulo though.
 
Wasn't suited to the default style of play this season, but I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility he could make more of an impact if we can add a more front foot style to our range of options next season. Right opposition, right game state etc.

If he goes, fingers crossed for a decent world cup. Always makes for transfer valuation hilarity if someone bangs in a few screamers.
 
I'm always desperate for this sort of player to miraculously come good for us. I was the same with dajaku aswell, "just give him more games and he'll be world class I'm telling you". Weird how I'm not a football scout really.
 
we'll just keep him then thanks if you don't cough up if we have european games next season. That Camara has one goal in his full season while Adingra has scored 3 in the time he has had there.

Me too. And Auchiche. World beaters the pair of them, and I still think they’ll end up as superstars.

The lad has ability to be fair. It just didn’t work here for whatever reason.
