Transfer Rumours/Signed

Raposa

Must admit the fee does seem disproportionately high given the decent business we’ve done so far.

king_of_the_slums

Paid 35m for a teenager with nearly 60 games and 11 goals from a mid-table German team (Rutter).
Paid 18m for Stach, with 60+ games and 3 goals for the same mid team.
Paid an undisclosed fee for Summerville with 50 games (0 games for his club) and 7 goals.
Paid 17m for Raphinha with 28 games and 6 goals.
Paid 12m for Longstaff with 171 games and 10 goals.
Paid over 10m for Piroe with 91 games and 41 goals.

EEPW

king_of_the_slums always puzzles me why fans have a go at the recruitment team for signing players they have never heard of or are injury prone? Their signings so far have been absolutely superb. only 1 possible miss (schmit?) have faith.

Raposa

EEPW
Ha.
You’re forgetting though, we’re all experts and know far more than Farke or the recruitment team 😂

Foxy_Dread

We don't know what the fee is. 18m is if all the add ons are reached.

18m upfront would have been barmy because

Milan don't want him
His record isn't great
No one else is trying to buy him.

Harvest

Foxy_Dread There's a lad at work who's into his European football, watches everything, trots out all these names of players I've never heard of at obscure clubs. I asked him about Okafor, he reckons he's a great player and can't believe we got him for the price.

Bod

I can see him being another Sinisterra, injured more than he plays.

Djpekingman

Bod Gone to Brasil now....

YoungParisian_inExile

Yep ….all good quoting players who are full on wingers , midfielders who don’t score , or Piroe who has a scoring record, but this is a winger / striker who doesn’t score and Milan don’t want and we’re playing 18m for the pleasure .
’ .
By no means claiming to be an expert for compared to all the others we’ve brought in this one goes against the grain .

Placid

People just love moaning... Lets at least have a look at him and see how he gets on in Leeds shirt before we slag him off.

YoungParisian_inExile

Placid difference between moaning and having an opinion 😁
Just seems like an odd signing . Is he going to be better that James , Gnonto or Ramazani ?
For not much more we could have bid for the Moroccan lad at Leicester and seeing as we’re looking for a 10 ?

Anyways , soon as okafor signed I hope he has a blinding season.

king_of_the_slums

If you thought it was hard to break into our team, try AC Milan. Happy to wait until he plays until judging him. Started as a striker, moved to the wing. Can play left or right, as well as 10 and 9. Can see why we bought him. Solomon replacement. James is not fit. Gnonto on the right and Noah on the left for me. Let’s see what he’s got..

Mitaman

king_of_the_slums and he’s 6’1’’… get him in there with our other big lads.

Harvest

Remember when we laughed at Forest for signing all those players.

Harvest

Battle of the James's it seems . Either Justin or Hill (Bournemouth) to come in for RB cover.

king_of_the_slums

Might be an agent push, but we've got a 15% sell-on anyway.

Placid

king_of_the_slums

Good for him👍👍

Foxy_Dread

I think but may be wrong, Ornstein doesn't promote flights of fancy.

Bod

@Foxy_Dread
I don't get why Farke has never played him, better player than Harrison and James

Foxy_Dread

Bod I agree, nevermind. It's better than him rotting.

Mitaman

Bod I agree. Its a shame, he is one of the players I wanted to see in the PL. Him, Tanaka and Piroe are three who I am curious about. He’s a far better player than Harrison.

Chopper_Read

Not a good move IMO.

Foxy_Dread

Chopper_Read for which party?
