HawK Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 5 minutes ago, Dr Jinx said: With the players they have brought in, I’d be delighted if we managed to get Soucek from them, I’m sure I read a few weeks ago he was told he could leave.. surely that could mean they’d accept a bid that would be within our budget. Rice tends to get all the plaudits in that midfield, but Soucek has at least an equal part in that. He’s an excellent player and still only 27. I'm a big Soucek fan, him and Joelinton with Bruno would be crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yeah, he looked a wonderkid a few years back when he burst on the scene at 17 I think it was. Haven’t followed him at all since then though, did his career stall? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 He's been excellent for Lille the last couple of seasons. Thought he was supposed to go to AC Milan together with Botman though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Chuckwuemeka to Chelsea. weird. Agent been demanding over 100k a week for us for a player who has only ever looked out of place in his few PL appearances. He was also apparently demanding guaranteed starting time. totally against the ethos of our academy which seems to be doing very well (Ramsey brothers , Archer, Iroegbunam, various other very decent players) so we refused to budge. not sure where - except Vitesse Arnhem on loan - he’s getting playing time at Chelsea but hey ho, just glad he’s gone. 20m for an unproven kid they could have had signed on a pre contract in January. Nuts. Looked at another way, £120m in income generated by selling two academy products in a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgk_lfc Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Not sure if there is a father, son who have made their mark on the PL like the Schmeichel's. Also makes me feel old. Grew up getting annoyed at the dad for his performances at United. Now the son is also leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 6 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Dalot is good value at 4.5m but there are other options at that price. Think Ben White is 4.5m more nailed. More consistent team. Less likely for attacking returns though. If Ronaldo was going Martial would be automatic I'm going Cancelo, TAA and 3 £4.5ms. Keep changing the 3 £4.5ms though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Sticking rigidly to FFP when other clubs are casually giving it the V's as they ride by laughing at it is going to get annoying sooner or later. Other clubs don't give the first fuck about it, why do we? Doing things by the book is admirable. And it'll also take us twice as long to get where we want to be.
