Mega_Armageddon_Chickens Placid 30m for a 20 year old who has scored twice this season and cost 750k about 18 months ago. Barely older than Gelhardt, Joseph and Perkins. Just months after giving Phillips and Raphinha away for a little bit more. They're off their rockers.
Bod Mega_Armageddon_Chickens it's the way of the football world now, because of his age and the huge potential people are putting on him, one of the biggest prospects in Europe apparently. Look at Cunha going to wolves, he's going to cost around 40 mill and he only scored 7 in 54 for Madrid but he,s 23, potential again. It's a gamble but it's a big statement from leeds, surely better than going for someone like Che Adams
Foxy_Dread It doesn't justify the fee but apparently he is shit hot at beating a man. The downsides reported were he shoots from anywhere, and he tends to play off centre rather than fully down the middle. Let us hope he is PL ready.
EEPW i think the board have backed themselves into a corner they cant sack marsch having brought his own players, and the 49rs will be keen to keep him on So the only way out is to throw money at a few signings and hope it clicks. lets hope he is another Rapha and not a JKA.
Jon Foxy_Dread Is the structure of the deal known? EEPW If it looks like Marsch isn’t making progress the 49ers (technically not the 49ers) won’t hang in there just because he’s their man. They’re business men, there’ll be little room for sentiment.
Foxy_Dread There are four ways it could be funded. Radz 49ers Radz and 49ers Radz against Meslier summer sale money.
Foxy_Dread I'm waiting for the news from Harvest to corroborate my dodgy but strangely accurate source.
Harvest I asked my workmate today if he had any goss. All he said was that the mates of said player were encouraging him to leave.
Kevin_Stapleton Foxy_Dread …or someone who is shit, or someone whose friends hate him and want shot of him… It seems you can twist rumour and hearsay to fit a predefined narrative - who knew? Come on Foxy, you’re better than this.
Foxy_Dread Jon an injection of money is coming in, and two shiny exciting players as a result. The players have already been mentioned. One is happening, the forward. The other a midfield player will be next week. Hopefully we don't get spanked at Villa to scare him off.
