Personally I would not give that club the time of day after last seasons debacle of shafting a not so bright new owner, with two bob players, coaches and recruitment staff. Been as good as any midfielder in the league at the age of what, 21? Care to explain why he's overrated? Overpriced you could argue but I can't believe he's overrated. The guy looks to be a phenom and I honestly think he could have Kante type impact here if we get ourselves together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really rate either too highly , Emerson was decidedly mediocre for us and was roundly lambasted for it on many an occasion and he scored for West Ham against us.

Correct therefore spending money on another 21 year old is not the answer. It might be nice if the club brought a couple of say mid 20’s to lead the young squad. Bizarre how the dippers get a midfielder Brighton player for £35m and we want to give them in excess of £80m for his partner. One can only assume MacAllister is the Danny Drinkwater of Brighton and we are trying to buy Kante at an over inflated price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Caicedo is a better all round player and has the potential to reach a much higher level than Rice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to "transfer bans" which are nothing of the sort - after all, Club A can agree with Club B to buy Player Y at ANY time - but in reality are "registration bans" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 When is too early to get worried about our business? We have so much to do and few of the rumours are doing us any favours.

Bob Singleton Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 23 minutes ago, Original 21 said: Don’t know how reliable this guy is… [SNIP] I think he was the one who broke the news about us pulling out of the Ugarte deal. As for Lavia, we tried to get him last summer (but left it far too late) and have been sniffing around ever since. There have been dozens upon dozens of rumours of us being interested since last summer, and they have only increased since the end of the season. Joe Shields (one of our transfer gurus) was the guy who recommended Lavia to Southampton when he (Joe Shields) was at Southampton, having previously been at Man City, from whom Southampton bought Lavia. So the rumour is based firstly on our interest last summer (when Shields was at Southampton) and now on the fact that - apart from needing midfielders if we sell/release everyone we seem to be selling/releasing - Shields is now at Chelsea, knows the player well and has spoken in glowing terms about Lavia and his potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The window isn't actually open in the UK until the 14th and in Europe I think it's the 1st of July so I really wouldn't be getting too hot under the collar just yet. We may well be losing some experienced players but some of them are way past their sell by dates and if we're going on goals and assists really won't be overly missed and they didn't exactly lead from the front last season anyway so quite why they'd be the catalyst for improved performances this season is hard to fathom.
