Pata Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 50 minutes ago, Happinesstan said: Thing is, teams like Man City and PSG can usually give young uns a fair amount of time from the bench. If they're winning 2-0/3-0 [which is often the case] it's the perfect situation to give them some experience. Yeah, and somehow the much hyped 5 sub rule doesn't seem to apply to Ekitike and he'll forever be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Good luck to the lad. We must be doing something right if we are targeting the same youth as psg. Win some lose some, onto the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see who we move onto now seeing as a lot of clubs seem to be after similar sort of forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win some lose some, onto the next. Got no problem with him thinking it's a better move. Him and his agent did mess us around though and I also think we were a bit naive this time. Personally think we should have moved on after his agents comments in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though probably less dosh, for both, at least in the short term and (as ever) remains to be seen whether it is best for both of them in the medium to long term.

We don't know the full story though, the whole thing about him requesting ludicrous agent fees could be exaggerated. Same with him apparently using us to sound out PSG, it's possibly all just people putting 2 and 2 together, people (me included) just never believed the PSG interest was legitimate.

Doctor Zaius Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Absolutely fair play to him and his agent ending up at PSG. A way more attractive option than us right now, especially to a 19 year old French lad. He'd have probably got less opportunity to play here. PSG have more games to play and can afford to rest their first 11 given they'll walk the league. No hard feelings at all from me. Its just the way it goes.

What we do know though: We've been interested since at least January. He's been aware we've been interested since at least January. We've had a fee agreed since May. He was willing to stay at Reims, rather than move here. He could have knocked us back anytime. He didn't because he knew that our bid would promote his clients name.

Nah, not having that. Mbappe, Neymar and Messi to get past, instead of Wilson and Wood? Even if they rest players, he’d still have got more playing time here. If he was good enough, he’d get in the team here - at PSG, your name comes first, and I don’t see his as being big enough right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) 5 subs opens it up so much. He'll get plenty of games 20-30 minutes here and there, starting games before big CL fixtures, starting in CL games when they've already qualified through the groups, Messi now being mid 30s, Neymar in his 30s and injury prone. Think he'll be fine like. Edited July 15, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
