Saudi?

 

[Kenny]

Probably more expecting a 777 cheque to bounce on any deal

 

[AndyWolves]

Gotta hope someone is offering a permanent deal

 

[Alan]

You’d like to think that means there are other standing offers for him, but…

More likely that they know Genoa can't afford a permanent fee so a waste of time sending him there.

Will leave on deadline day on loan with an option

 

[ROVERT47]

Fuck me, just give me an update on either a new centre back or striker.

 

[Tony Towner]

If they want a mandatory buy clause for next season then he'll be off the books by then PSR wise. He'll still cost us £7m this year whatever so if we really want him gone, we'd be better selling him for £1m now and getting rid

Suspect that is what the club are thinking but if they can scam someone into loaning him for a season with an obligation to buy for any kind of cash, so much the better.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The time to do that was last year. He'd done sort of ok at Anderlecht and PSV. Remember all the idiot Twitter kids rubbing themselves raw about how much better he was now and he'd have an impact for us.

We kept him, he was beyond atrocious for us and then scored 2 league goals for Rangers. End of adventure.

 

[Kenny]

End of adventure.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Like if you tell a 4 year old they can't have ice cream until they've finished their vegetables.

 

[Kenny]

anyway, anyone disagree with James here?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've said it for a while - our best hope is to literally give him away with a clause that we get 50% of any future sale (lolz). Then someone might take a punt. Free innit. Stupid people will take anything for free, we once left a broken freezer outside our house in Moss Side and it had gone inside an hour.

August 30th 2024: Matt Hobbs seen dropping Fabio Silva off in Heath Town with a Free to Good Home sign stapled to his chest.

August 31st 2024: Update. Fabio still there, sign has been stolen though

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So, 3 days before the season starts and we haven't replaced Max "we could replace him easily" Kilman.

This is really disappointing in my opinion, as a dominating CB would really firm us up and the quicker you get one in, the better obviously.

 

[Del Woppio]

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The argument would be that we have replaced him in Mosquera. We had four first team CHs last season and we have four first team CHs now, and even the staunchest Kilman fan would admit that stylistically, Mosquera looks a miles better fit for a back four. Which of course isn't hard as the Big Pear can't play in a back four at all.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I wouldn't agree with that argument, particularly as Mosquera's potential partners aren't of the ability (or age) they need to be.

Aside from that we've weakened the depth at left back, so we're significantly weaker defensively than we were 2 months ago. This isn't cool, but I guess we have 40mill in the bank, so yay.

Go Bank Balance FC!
