Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[Superior Acuña]

Id be surprised if Ashby is planned to be the main back up RB yet given he was barely even on the bench, and how important a position it is for us now. Can also see Ashby being loaned out for now.

Wonder when we'll hear something about Arda Guler. whether to us or somewhere else. Kid just turned 18 and is a born winner and doesnt feel pressure. So mature for his age both on and off the pitch.

Personally i'd be happy with him coming in as our only wide player and put the rest of the money elsewhere. Within time he will probably play in a more central role.

20 million is the rumoured price for him based on todays rumours.

Let’s face it lads and lasses, he’s either Modric 2.0 or a Thauvin regen. Do we roll the dice?

Aye. I mentioned it a week or two ago that it was being said in Turkey that him and his agent (father I think) had agreed to remove the clause that was in his contract before. Because they wanted it to feel like a decent deal for the club too. 20m is still a steal.

The same rumour is saying we would not loan him out as we think he is good enough now. 

[Ikon]

I think he is good enough now already too. He’s not raw or anything.

I think we have to roll the dice to some extent with signings. The proven players all have the long term CL clubs circling them like hyenas. We have to be a bit smart and try to recruit exciting emerging talent like Guler. Of course there's a chance they'll be duds, but equally they could go on to take the league by storm. Just look at Isak.

[The Prophet]

Guler feels like one of those players that goes to Dortmund, Benfica or Brighton, then ends of being bought for a ludicrous amount of money by a European giant. It'll be interesting to see if we role the dice on him or Scott, rather than pick up a more established player. 

[Keegans Export]

We can't afford established players like Rice, Mount, Osimhen - we have to operate in that tier below and trust our scouts/coaches to turn them into elite players over time. Then we either keep them or move them on for an extortionate fee.

The likes of Guler, Scott and O'Riley,(who we've all being linked with) don't play in major European leagues, so fall into the bracket below Kone, Thuram and Ugarte in terms of pricing. You could probably pick up the three of them for the price of Thuram if rumours about his price tag are correct.

 

These are the types of deal Brighton are being lauded for.

Donny van de Beek is leaving Man Utd and has been linked with us in the Sun, who say we tried for him in Jan. We also looked at him in the first transfer window after the takeover. Also says that he is open to the move.

He’s done nothing in 3 years - no thanks

I'd sooner have a one-legged McTominay.

He can fuck off. After Alan Smith and Nicky Butt, plus Duff and Geremi, I’m over Sinister 6 cast offs.

Surely even you couldn’t find the positives in this one ?

[r0cafella]

No man utd cast offs please. 

[Menace]

There's a player there but far too risky for me personally, he has looked out of depth at both Everton and any time Man U have given him a chance.

[Ikon]

Wouldn’t take him if we got money for doing so. 

[Myleftboot]

Eddie might get him back to his best?

[Holloway]

Ballbag wants to keep McTom and mug us off with van de Meek ffs 

[The Prophet]

Showed absolutely no fight at Everton, I'd be shocked if we gave him a second look. 

[Guest]

If someone who managed him for 2-3 years before Man Utd can't get a tune out of him then I'd assume he's a lost cause at the top level.

[Nucasol]

Completely van der Meyde’d.
