STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I'd like us to sign a new right winger, like Diaby etc.... Then sell ASM and replace him with someone like Barnes or even Harrison if they go down. ASM is unreliable. Class on his day, but unreliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Nico has a buyout clause doesn't he? Anybody know what it is - because there's no way Bilbao will be selling him without it being paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Most articles when he's been linked to Liverpool and Villa the last year says €50m so about £44m. Edited May 8, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 His buyout is 50 million according to the article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Google seems to agree with you tbf. Makes sense that he was a Gordon alternative at that price. Still think it'll be a difficult signing to pull off - rare that Athletic players move on so early in their careers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 He turned down a move to Villa in Jan because he didn’t want to leave bilbao didn’t he? He’s class like, proper old school dribbler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we were looking to get one of them in January, but to eventually have both, as they play opposite sides. In La Liga once a release clause is met that's that. You don't even contact the club in question you just approach the football federation regarding paying the clause and you can then negotiate with the player.

Matt1892 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think it will be Antonee Robinson signed at left back and Brennan Johnson for the right side attacker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what CL clubs do. Pep and Klopp would have him out on his arse ASAP. We've no place for carrying mavericks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonee’s not going to take us up another level. He’s got great pace and is like offer a lot going forward but he’s not an amazing defender. Whoever we get at LB needs to be either already very good at both ends of the pitch or destined to be very good at both ends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 LB is going to be the hardest position to recruit. Finding a good defender is fine, finding a flying full back is fine but you rarely find both. Need our scouting team to be on the ball. Tierney might be the best bet, if he can prove his fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
