Aye, Raphinha reportedly on £200k p/w. We’d struggle to match that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reminded of an Athletic article during the takeover process where, iirc, it had just fallen through and Caulkin had done a bit of a 'here's what you could've won' type article. In that, he'd mentioned that if the Takeover was approved per the normal process, Staveley & Co's targets were Ake and Torres (obv they subsequently went to Man City). He also mentioned a couple of other targets but I can't recall them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Luuk De Jong from the previous pages, in fact. Intellligent, not that quick, scores goals but never belters. A very continental player.

TRon Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 Nothing too exciting going on as far our public targets. Never really took the Sesko interest seriously once it was clear that Arsenal and Chelsea were in there, and same goes for Raphina rumours because the wages seem too high. The Kelly and Trafford deals seem much more realistic, and those will go through I would think. If there's really top quality signings being worked on in forward areas, I think those are not going to be revealed until the deals are more or less sealed.

I doubt we've firmed up our interests in our top targets. Once Kelly and Trafford are done and the Euros are over, we might see movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 (edited) For no other reason than I have a blind spot for him but if we picked this guy up on an incentive based contract I think he could be ideal for our midfield. Times I saw him play (not loads admittedly) I thought he oozed quality. Much better player than Maddison.

JonBez comesock Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 Barcelona owe €30 to Man City for him in amortisation They aren’t selling him for anything lower than that !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron and Longstaff leaving is less certain IMO because Eddie might not be that keen on getting rid. Neither of them will want to leave either.

STM Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 Not my favourite channel by any stretch but loads of transfer bits from Downie on here... Covers Kelly, Trafford, Dubravka, Minteh, Longstaff and more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 Fwiw, he says that he thinks we WILL sell Minteh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonFC Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 No brainer to sell Minteh if we can get 20m+. Helps us massively with FFP and means we might not have to sell any top players. He could turn out to be a superstar at another club that we let go but thats the contradiction of FFP. Its an abomination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 Selling him for £20m would be ridiculous. £40m I could be reluctantly persauded but £20m would be daft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are just desperate to get any money in for shiny new signings. he could be a fantastic squad option as he is and so much potential to be a class starter in a year or two and people happy to sell him for what we apparently value Almiron at.
