We need to register 4 academy trained players and 8 nationally-trained players (Which will include the 4 academy trained players) in the Champions League. Obviously we hope one day that's relevant, but it's some way off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a spot in the 25 man squad but counts towards homegrown requirement of 8 (we have plenty). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player above age of 21 needs registering towards a 25 man squad, although any U21 player doesn't need registering regardless of homegrown status. Out of the 25 man squad, you need at least 8 players registered that are classed as homegrown. Currently only Matty Longstaff, and Elliot Anderson are the only players we have U21 that have actually played for the club!

Doubt it’s much more than doubling their money in 6 months and they always have to sell to keep going. Plus Covid restrictions are still hitting German teams financially.

jack j Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Not keen on a bloke wearing number 5 and playing left back For that reason I'm out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 3 minutes ago, joeyt said: Why are Leverkusen so open to selling Bakker? Probably just happy to make a quick profit on the guy and they maybe have other alternatives in that position in the team that they rate, or perhaps their recruitment team have other left backs on their list that they're happy to bring in that will still leave them with a decent profit. In any case the deal seems very fair and I really like what I've seen and read up on the guy, and so I hope we can get a deal done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think we'll probably make all the 5-6 signings we are aiming for this week, and they'll likely come in thick and fast. I get the impression we will probably now move for the targets that are more 'realistic'. Think they'll still be talented players, but slightly less heralded. Some of the names that fit this mould have started popping up in the last few weeks, like Mitchel Bakker, Marcos Senesi, Attila Szalai, Duje Caleta-Car, Pape Abou Cisse etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thought Bakker looked completely out of place when he was at PSG in some big CL games but he was very young and obviously that's a much higher level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Had a quick gander at the Leverkusen forum and they seem to rate him but looks like his performances can be quite variable. Sometimes excellent, sometimes not so, but clear ability is there particularly when going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’ve no idea how good he is tbh, I kind of switched off from football the last couple of Bruce years so what kind of defender is he ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
