I really can't remember a transfer I've found as excruciatingly tedious as this, especially since I had no idea who he was until he was linked with Chelsea. To be honest of these signings from the new management since they've taken over have been terrifically exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boratsbrother Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Have to admit that I'd never heard of this Dewsbury geezer until he was linked to us. Is he any good or would he just be a squad filler type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does not join us he will more than likely be playing in the championship this season. Too many times we've overlooked players who are not big names and seen them go to other clubs and become very good value for money signings. Adams could be our next Azpi level value for money player, so why not go for him at such a low price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping Dave Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, Original 21 said: Kepa loan deal? What’s that about? It must surely be a permanent move - a loan with an option to buy does nothing for us. Well, not entirely true, we cut the time we have to have Kepa in the squad by 50% which I suppose is nothing to be sniffed at. 12 hours ago, paulw66 said: It's all kicking off mate! I can't see us not buying Caicedo, now the player is refusing to play etc. I think it will buy Adams if we can't get Lavia, but not both. That said, I honestly have no idea! If Kepa goes, then we'll need a new GK. Who that is, I don't know Kane to Bayern. My word..........they are screwed!! It seems Kane is hesitant. He better stay on at Spurs, I’ve got him in my FPL! The Caicedo vs Lavia saga has been rumbling for ages. Honestly, have we just wasted the whole summer talking to Brighton instead of closing the deal? I remember Droy was adamant that transfers were never concluded late in summer, but rather agreed in principle before last season even ended. I’ve often wondered whether he was right with that or not. I’ve just read a piece which claims that MP always wanted rid of Kepa and Sanchez as our new GK1. If that is true, bif if granted, Sanchez isn’t exactly world class, then perhaps our three GKs will be Sanchez, Slonina and Bettinelli. But then again Slonina wasn’t given a squad number… So would that mean Sanchez, Bettinelli and Bergström? That’s the weakest GK set-up we’ve had for a while in that case. Takes some doing to do worse after you get rid of Kepa *smh* Edit: just seen that Slonina has been loaned out to some Belgian waffle club for the season. Underwhelming loan! If we do sell/loan Kepa, we better have another keeper up our sleeve! Someone who can seriously battle Sanchez for first. 12 hours ago, Bones said: Maybe Sanchez was meant to replace Kepa. Our owners are business focused - if you get the same stats as GK just cheaper why not replace the GK. And perhaps praising Kepa and playing him during preseason was just a masquarade to find a buyer. Yeah, and big nose tearing his knee up. Imagine if we’d have a race between BM and RM to buy Kepa 😂 12 hours ago, Miguelito07 said: £100m? They can have him. so much for the discussions with Brighton over the summer 🤦🏻♂️ To be perfectly honest, at this point in time, if Caicedo is deemed to be the right profile for us it doesn’t matter if we pay £90m, £100m or even £110m. 11 hours ago, ROTG said: Got a feeling it going to be Brighton's no3 as our new no1. How times have changed Imagine how funny that would be. Edited August 10, 2023 by Sleeping Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
