Geertruida

[Blyth]

Hopefully we can keep him for remainder of season with an agreement to buy and sell on to Liverpool in the summer. That would surely be acceptable to the lad.

They don’t want to buy him

 

[Falconhoof]

It explains why he didn’t play man.

If that was the case he wouldnt have been on the bench. In fact he wouldnt have even been in the squad.

 

[Fact Hunt]

Angel Gomes, currently at Marseille, is available on loan just now. Although not as versatile as Gerty, he’d be an adequate replacement for a midfield role.

Aye players absolutely never feature one day then get sold the next.

Wolves bound

 

[Uromastyx]

He's obviously a good player, but I think people are going over the top.

He's put in some good performances, but some average ones too. He's also failed to secure a starting spot in both of his recent moves.

I'd prefer a quality midfielder Regis trusts. I think he has always seen Gerty as an understudy centre back.

 

[GBSAFC]

How's any of that SAFC's fault then? He has an agreement to say that he doesn't have any options to turn down until Summer 2026.

Geertruida hasn't been able to make a slot in the 1st team his ....
Hes looked good at the back and always does a job... but weve been stacked in the middle to the point where weve needed to ditch neil ... the likes of poveda etc have got a chance of 1st team football

The question really is at what point has this this scenario really taken shape .. before west ham?

 

[Wakoro]

He's a very good player who should have been a regular. Regis isn't great at squad management and rotation, I believe he has said himself he struggles to work with players outside his starting 11.

Agree. Some real doom mongers on here. Genuinely no idea what more the club has to do to gain people's trust.

He has been played out of position and without regular starts but still looked quality most of the time he's played.

I can’t see slot being at Liverpool next season so he might be available in the summer

 

[Raven5]

I'm glad we're not going on like the mags!
Part of our attraction is the way we do right by players. It's a bit of an untangible selling point for the club, but I think important to try and get a replacement. If we fail, hopefully he'll see we tried and accept we revisit it in the summer.

Exactly! We're doing the things the right way and many agents will want to work with KLD/Ghisolfi than some deluded bullies.

 

[Arny Kiddin]

It would be disappointing to lose him however had he played every game for us I suspect being tapped up by Liverpool would’ve turned his head anyway. Let’s hope we make some cash from a player who isn’t actually ours anyway and a replacement is in place prior to any deal being finalised. That said I’d prefer he stayed, with Xhaka out we could do with him on the pitch.

 

[The Situation]

Of the positions he can cover that’s probably most important for us right now. Injuries at centre half could be adequately covered by moving a first choice fullback inside I think. Plus there’s always Luke

Means we can make a big push for a top class centre half in the summer too. Bit of a silver lining at least.

The Lucumi talk has never really gone away. Probably be back in for him again I suspect.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Given he won’t be in the squad tomorrow, and neither will a new signing, we’ve just got to go full throttle against Burnley.

 

[Fact Hunt]

What a ludicrous comment.

Downie saying defender. The other fella saying midfielder.

We really really need a midfielder.

 

[Rokeroar]

I think last night’s defeat of the visitors will go some way to turning them around. They’ll finish at worst 5th or 6th and Slot will be fine, especially as he has credit in the bank from last season

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

10mill is fuck all and not good business if we lose him without and class replacement that is as versatile as him.

Leaves us short going into the business end of the season which is vital

£10m compo for a loan player who has never been our player is outstanding business in anyones book mate.

As we had an agreement to sign him for circa £20m, if he is now worth more than that we should be entitled to a cut as well as compensation for the premature ending of the loan deal. His value has only risen because he played for us in the PL. Leipzig considered him a flop.

That's because we don't have an entitled and unrealistic view on our station.
