Wish we’d be making transferinis of our own tbh.

It's actually the same word as English - transfer. Probably just borrowed from English like many Turkish football related words. The "ini" part is two "i" suffixes with a buffer letter as it is specifying that it is the transfer specifically of Jamaal Lascelles. Can be confusing to look Turkish words up in a dictionary for that reason as it's an agglutinating language and you need to know the root.

 

In other news, Beşiktaş are my Turkish team due to that being where I lived, and the fact they play in black and white. If he goes anywhere then personally I'd be happy with that (although I'd rather he stay with us).

I'm a cultural traveller, Turkish people like Storks you know.

Bit odd to be honest. Unless he wants to play more regularly. I would have had no issues having him as backup and I doubt his wages are that high

Think it’s about £55k per week

Not sure what some people are expecting tbh. It's clear we need to sell at the moment, but it can't be Trippier, can't be Wilson, can't be Almiron, can't be Lascelles.

 

Unless we're going to sell a Botman, Isak or Bruno, it's going to have to be someone like that. We're not getting £50m for Ritchie or Krafth.

With Lascelles, if we extend there is no guarantee we get a fee in the summer or next 

 

Also, maybe he's keen on experiencing football abroad, he's had a canny stint here and he knows he isn't first choice so wouldn't blame for wanting to go to Turkey

 

Plus Istanbul is a class city

True, but we’re definitely not getting one for him now. :lol: 

 

For what it’d cost to extend him and what he brings in terms of leadership and consistent play, I’d rather have him back next season. Even if it means we don’t end up getting a fee in the future.

We get a nominal fee at best but then we get his wages off the books

 

With an extension you are then stuck with him, even though he's shown he's more than capable I'd rather have a "3rd" choice CB that is closer in ability to the two that starts
