Summer 2021 transfer window

[Alan]

I'm not sure Lage is the type of manager to spend weeks saying "we're working on deals, we know what we want and they are 1st team players", to then say "nah, everything is good"...

He definitely comes off as uninterested in football politics, as it were. Which I applaud.

 

[Wolvensam]

Sky Sports reporting the first bid for Botman was rejected but talks are ongoing to reach a deal.

The magic of the transfer window, where I'm hugely invested in us signing a player I'd never heard of three days ago.

Matheson has gone to Hamilton Accies in the Scottish Championship. Thought we might have been able to get him a higher quality move than that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Have to agree.

Is it worth noting that the Botman situation may have been changed by the Champions League draw? Lille and Sevilla have ended up in the same group- maybe there's reluctance to sell to a club that are now a direct rival?

Been pointed out elsewhere but French clubs not named PSG don't really have the luxury of being choosey; they need the money. Couple that with the fact that their side from last season has been completely blown up already and I doubt they feel they can have a serious go at the UCL this season either way.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Possibly. What we need is a deal done before Sevilla sell Kounde .

 

[Alan]

Assuming we can match what Sevilla would offer (and I don't see why we couldn't), it'll come down to Botman's personal preference. My gut says that he'd obviously choose Sevilla if all other things were equal, but I probably said something similar back when we were linked with Neves the first time. So surprises do happen.

 

[WolfMan]

If he wants to ultimately play for a top Premier League side it makes more sense for him to come to England first rather than do a detour to Spain. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

Spanish league has lost a bit of lustre with Messi leaving. Although I suppose from a defender's POV that's probably a good thing...

Kounde says hi!

Kounde says hi!

He was a bit younger when he went to Spain though wasn't h

I know I'm probably clutching at straws here

€15m offer in for Caleta Car.

This is more like what I want to read in a transfer thread. Jeff has been like me returning to FM21 having had a break since FM13, can imagine him on the Premier League officials reddit like "so how do I actually put a bid in for a player?".

In, French media, RM or something like that

Left out of the squad for the weekends game which suggests something is moving.

 

[Wolvensam]

Two left-footed CBs? I can’t see us doing that. Unless Botman is us (Mendes) trying to get OM panicking.
