I wonder who we’ll sign Yeah perhaps, seems odd it was our name used and then PSGs. If that was their play it hasn’t worked very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, NE27 said: How have we got to this point twice if he really wasn't interested though? Would seem like a gross misuse of time chasing a lad who would only move for real or Barca. That or our scouting team just don't take no ** As above by @Nine The player might be interested, but his agent has definetly used our interest to try and get him a more high profile move elsewhere.

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think it’s a transparently bollocks comment. Made with full awareness of how widely it would be read. Also noticed a statement from the manager saying any deals for ‘HE’ or the other two players, who have been touted around, would have to be done before 10 July, when they go on pre-season tour. And if they weren’t completed by then, they would be cancelled. Also bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Only us interested! Let’s see who we sign now, could still be a late twist in this yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It could well be true but let’s not forget that just a week or so ago we were hearing that Botman wanted the Milan move only and then he rocks up here. A lot of time left in the window for this to go through, the delay and the noise coming from this one defo suggests that something is indeed up though.

Dr Jinx Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 At this point it’s very difficult to separate his agents behaviour with his own endorsement of it. I have absolutely zero interest in having any player at the club who thinks he’s above it. That sort of rotten attitude seeps into the whole setup, you make allowances for him etc and suddenly you have an unmotivated group. No ta, even if his agent buckled this evening and caved in to whatever our offer was. I really hope Ashworth and Howe are thinking along the same lines too.

TheBrownBottle Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I’ve said it on this thread, will say it again - the lad and his agent give off strong Anelka vibes, only by Ekitike’s age Anelka had won the (English) double and played for France. The numbe of scuffed / lucky finishes from his goals last season are suggestive of a player who may have had a purple patch of luck. Add to that a clown for an agent and we should be staying well clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Lad appears to be a weapons grade cunt with hamstrings like supernoodles. Does well at his current club and PSG Will hoover him up as Mbappe 2.0 for when version 1.0 goes to Spain or the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I’m sure the club knows what it’s doing anarl, but I can’t help comparing the fuss this transfer has generated vs how Bruno was brought over. Bruno wanted to come here to prove himself, and be part of a future winning team - and he bought the vision and was willing to bet on it, work hard for it and be a star if he grafts hard for club and fanbase. He had a personal decision to make, agent or no, and he made sure he came. And that’s why it happened quickly, with all parties pulling together. This Ekitike saga smacks of a kid and his agent thinking short term, selfishly, and not at all being sold on our vision. It’s like the opposite of the Bruno signing. He may still sign, he may score goals for us, but I don’t think he would catch on with us like Bruno has. Bruno made his sacrifice by betting on us. This kid has been hiding for five months from us.

Miggys First Goal Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Probably dodged a massive bullet with this one. Could imagine him signing and his hamstring going on his debut and being out for three months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
