Ben Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I'm not sure if his comments about "no short or medium term plan to match his ambition" are true but the spiteful Ben really hopes Reims get fucking stuffed today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It’s a fairly normal thing to make big decisions like that for a player. Baseball players get traded without even being asked He is still young I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) It's not a standard transfer though. He's one of the highest rated young players in Europe at the minute due to his form this season (whether deserved or not) and has teams like PSG apparently talking about him. If he continues his training and form at Reims that will only go up and he will probably be thinking he can choose his own career. Going to the Premier League is obviously a risk for him. Especially to a club like us who don't really have the facilities or track record in dealing with young players. If he doesn't take off immediately here he'd be putting his career back.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Sure, there are valid reasons not to come. I’m just saying time to think is probably not the main one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 He looks a talent, but on reflection it would have been asking a lot of an inexperienced 19 year old from the French League to have an impact in a relegation fight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club were trying to get a bid accepted throughout the window. It sounds like Reims compromised and eventually accepted our bid at the last minute but it was too quick for the player to make a decision on the last day. Not sure how that's our club's fault?

Aye, my biggest hope from the transfer was that any half decent forward who can play out wide and likes to press should theoretically improve us. It was a lot of money though and we could probably spend it better in the Summer if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving us with Chris Wood as our only striker. Seems a pretty big error to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Sounds like something a players agent would say when he’s really just hoping to sign for Paris or another super top club; or someone who didn’t come because he did not get everything he wanted in a contract offer. I love how people here always hav some criticism ready to go at all times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
