Ketsbaia Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 They must think he can play left-back, right? Otherwise this makes little to no sense. Four right-backs, a carefulness with FFP..... eh?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 £10mil difference in valuation seems a lot for what was rumoured to be a £12mil deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, but Livramento has the potential to be the long term number 2. Not sure Walker-Peters is that good (he's very good though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Starting to wind me up how many people seem concerned about Harrison Ashby/Krafth getting game time. He's miles better than either of them. Fuck them. Ashby can go on loan and Manquillo can fuck off and the Krafth can fuck off next year. And no, he's not being bought to play left back FFS.

Pata Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Krafth improved under Howe just like everyone else but I remember thinking he must be the worst player ever to play in this league back in the day. He just doesn’t have the talent to have a future with us even if he’s a nice guy. Edited June 26, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'm just used to it being really difficult to shift out deadwood. Tough enough shifting Fraser, Hendrick, Lewis, Darlow, Hayden etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Looked a real prospect until his injury and ticks a lot of boxes, he definitely stood out in a pretty poor Soton team. Looked good going forward and quite pacey too. Must say I'm a bit concerned about ripping an ACL so young but if the docs are ok with it then he'd be an asset.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 1 minute ago, David Edgar said: Coaches must not remotely rate Ashby. Or he was bought as a pure insurance policy for Trippier initially with the view that if he got no game time we could loan him out and if he performs make a quick profit on him. It was almost a freak season last year how few defensive injuries we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, It's just an accounting trick. You basically say the contract has no value to me in the future so I am going to take all of the remaining cost in one year. The cash still goes to the player every month until the contract ends / they are sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelrouser Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 We got Ashby because he was going to run down his contract w/ Hammers who were desperate to keep him. I would imagine West Ham offered a loan to get more playing time and he rejected it. And we are 10m apart despite offering Ryan Fraser too? Something is odd w/ this rumor.

NobbySolano Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 When will people realize that we are unlikely to get a Dan Burn replacement? At least not until you have cover for Trippier and also a different profile that would let a LB go out while the RB sits back more to form a 3 in the back as we do now. Not to mention. The drop, if any, from DB to Targett is nowhere like the drop from Tripps to anyone else. And I'm not even a local or a huge DB fan. But the takes here calling for him to be replaced are silly. In any case, this would be a very good add if we can make it happen. Given the buy back clause, and Chelsea not triggering it, i would say that's the ceiling. A deal to be made around 18m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
