Indeedy, very odd, cheap to, only about £13million.
But just checked, he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault back in February.
Doesnt seem like the case has been dismissed so who knows.

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
So only a month left. Have we left it too late?
I can't wait to hear the dreaded "Forshaw is like a new signing" spin from Angus.
Herrera and Kvaratskhelia, get it done. Think you could get around £35m for the pair.

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
one for first teamer in and I will be happy, central midfielder please.
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.
Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
I find the guys that want to overhaul the squad most odd, evolution not revolution is the way to go, it has been proven time and again.

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Its disappointing that its now August and Orta wanted signings in by July 1st. Still think that was a stupid thing to say given we have literally never got our business done early like Bielsa wants.
What i find more concerning is Phil has said basically they always wanted a left back, then a cm and maybe a winger, so we only ever wanted 2 signings?
Is that really all? 2 1st team signings and maybe a 3rd but not a priority.
I still say this summer is the season to build, how many more seasons we got with Bielsa? 1 maybe?
Ffp has been relaxed.
So lets be ambitious bring in 3 to 4 first 11 starters.
I am really concerned about this season for reasons i said in my cycle thread.
Its not negativity but standing still and taking last season for granted and assuming other teams wont improve and we wont regress is risky imo.
Failing to build a proper squad and just going "ah Bielsa will sort it" is another risk.
Hopefully unfounded and daft but its how i feel atm.
Oh and we been linked to Marco Asensio

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Exactly and we added 4 players last year and still not using two of them yet. Firpo this year. If you add 3/4 big money signings yearly you'll wreck any balance while forcing talented 23's out of the picture for ever
From a good team, and we were last season, (forget the we're only Championship quality bullshit,) you want one maybe two kids to come through and add new players judiciously. Still think we may add one more but there's no clear path to playing time unless we're giving up on Rodrigo already..

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
It's average players like Costa and Roberts blocking youth, not international signings.faaip wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 11:45 am Exactly and we added 4 players last year and still not using two of them yet.

You can't rely on average Championship players running around forever. Klich struggled last year and being a year older, it'll only get worse this time around.
Raphinha looks levels above on a technical and skill level. Even when he has a bad game, he still gets a goal or assist.
Dallas is not a creative player and never has been.
Asensio ooh sounds good
Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Asensio is average at best. Have you watched any of his 50 last games. He loses every ball he gets.
After spending 100 million last summer is obvious that this year will be more calmed. Lets no forget we have to pay 20 millions for Agustin.
The team last yeear performed well even we suffered a lot of injuries.
I dont see the point of signing too many expensive players for bench, honestly.

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Roberts is high upside and still a kid... But I get following the herd thinking on Roberts..

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
I've also never said Roberts should start but he's worth his place on the bench... Costa I'm less sure about as he should be around his peak right now

Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Based on the years of laziness and bang average performances.
He isnt a kid, he is older than Foden, Meslier, Struijk, Greenwood etc all of whom have shown far more than Roberts over the years.
Said it before say it again, Roberts reminds me of Roofe, similar player and similar level
Roofe plays where he does for a reason, so will Roberts

Raph is the level we should be aiming for
The Championship sides cycle ended this season gone for me .
3 or 4 first 11 players are required in order to evolve the squad

Although I'd rather Kvaratskhelia, but we don't seem interested.
Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
Problem is Costa and Roberts are 2 guaranteed subs, which means we have only one more sub available, and the youngsters will be fighting it out with either Klich or Rodrigo (whoever starts on the bench), so have no chance of getting on.
Re: Summer 2021 squad and transfer discussion.
The perfect mix is quality signings mixed in with talented youngsters already at the club.

Nantes the latest team to want rid allegedly. Celtic showing interest, their fan base having mixed opinions on social media.
