Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour


can't be many clubs play with 2 left footed centre backs. we're proper pioneers
I could understand if said CB’s were making lung busting runs down the right followed by pinging crosses under pressure into opposition area that being left footed might present a problem… but how often does that happen if ever.
 
Is that saying when he signs for us another side can bag him for that release clause?

Or we’ve bid the fee that was his release clause.
I read it as we have bid an amount of 28m euros, which is what his release clause originally was before it expired.
 
So now our first team squad looks a little like

Roefs/Patterson

Hume/Mukiele

Reinildo/Cirkin/Masuaku

Ballard/Alderete/Lucumi/ O Nien?

Xhaka/Sadiki/Diarra/Le Fee/Rigg/Neil

Adingra/Talbi/Roberts/ Mundle

Mayenda/Guiu/Isidor


24 man squad there. Allowed 25, and honestly looking at it I can't see which position we'd go for. I'm all for putting faith in the front 3, why wouldn't you when two of them have just scored in the opening day, if a striker is to be replaced though it'd be Isidor. 4 strikers in a squad for one position just wouldn't work.

Some of those wouldn't be included in the 25, Sadiki for example is 20 and Diarra 21. Both are classed as under 21.

Edit: Just seen your post was hours ago and it's already been pointed out about 40 times

Am I right in thinking that if we'd bid and triggered the release clause,and had it accepted, before the the clause expired, we'd have had to pay in a lumper but as we've waited, we can pay in installments? Also, this helps us regarding PSR?
 
Only worry about this one now is isn't this the one the club wanted to "keep quiet" to get the deal done before everyone got wind of it? It's all out in the open now.
 
People have too many emotions surrounding our existing players. Alese and cirkin need flogging as rarely fit and with cirkin in particular a big question mark over him after how last season nose dived. We dont need to be loyal to them. Flog for a few mill that helps bring in another young talented prospect.
Sad but true, and the club are showing how ruthless there need to be to stop in the league

true. although it was really helpful when Alderete arrowed that ball onto the big man's head at the weekend

wonder which one of them will be the right sided CB. i mean that's if either of them can get ahead of Ballard first
