Dr Venkman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That's all well and good, but who do we then put on the pitch? Replacements. We are allowed to sign replacements, we haven't got a transfer embargo on us last time I checked. We don't 'replace' anyone though do we? We buy bargains.

Guest VanBarduck Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Might be at the U20 World Cup. More teams and France yes, I'm sure we can afford Varane,Thauvin,Pogba,Digne,Kondogbia... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Kondogbia we could, he has a 5m clause. But bigger teams will be after him also. Nothing financial to stop us going after him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Kondogbia we could, he has a b5m clause. But bigger teams will be after him also. Nothing financial to stop us going after him though. It's not that. Sevilla have to pay the player a bonus of half the biggest formal offer he gets for him, in excess of €8m, if they refuse it. The actual clause is €20m. Anyway, I don't think it's a player that you need right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Wasn't aware of that stipulation, also agree he's not what we need right now just making a point really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's a pretty weird clause to be honest. Dunno what would stop, say, Betis from trolling them with a €8m "offer" to force them to pony up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakho must sign for a Spanish team, the pun possibilities in Spanish are virtually endless... ("Sacó", among other things, means both to make a clearance or to take a throw-in/kick off).

Could work well with Mbiwa at the back, both french internationals and the same age range. With haidara and debuchy, it'd be an all french back line at times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I honestly couldn't imagine we'd sign Sakho if Colo stays, unless we flog Willo/Saylor. Which I really don't see both going. Personally, would love Sakho here, he's ACTUALLY a beast of a CB in terms of his strength vs what people said about Mapou. Mapou is your Colo style smooth ball player and Sakho is a your all around monster in the backline. Not sure how we'd have Mapou, Sakho, Colo, Saylor competing for 2 CB roles; I'd love that selection headache mind you. I'd actually drool over Debuchy - Sakho - Colo - Mapou (sorry Santon) But essentially you could play the best out of Debuchy/Santon/Haidara/Mapou at the back position and Mapou would be fighting for a position with Sakho/Colo.
