Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[LexingtonSpurs]

Does anyone know who RDV is?

It was a tweet translated from French - maybe RDV is simply shorthand for rendezvous?

 

[WiganSpur]

There's no chance we're paying him 135k a week

There is if we are offering large raises to our current players too, as rumoured.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

right, but cant a new signing by slotted into his spot? what am I missing?

Lamela is not on the roster - presumably he would be added now - in GKN's slot. A new signing (non-HG) would mean we have to drop another non-HG player to include the new signing.

Reason he's been there though has been lack of options at RM and CM for most of the season so far. If Moura comes in and now Wanyama is back his game time could be limited.

It's essentially a battle between Winks, Dembele and Sissoko for one CM spot then.

Dembele and Winks both have injury issues.

Like him or not, and I completely understand why so many are eager to see him jettisoned, Sissoko has played a major role for us this season and I'd be shocked if he were dropped from the CL squad entirely when players like Foyth and Gazza, who have scarcely made any appearances, are there to be dropped instead.

Lamela's getting GKN's place.

Rendezvous

Is that 25m euro or pound? If it's euro then that is a ridiculous fee and a no brainer.

Comme annoncé par FF, Lucas était à Londres aujourd’hui. Déjà revenu à Paris. RDV avec Lévy. Paris demande 25 millions désormais #rmclive

ya, I just figured that scanning the roster. we need 2 new spots - Im a little slow today. anyway, my choice would be KWP - we have 4 fullbacks and Dier and Verts can play FB in a pinch.

He won't be dropped come to think of it. Foyth probably should be tbh, it would take 3 CB injuries for him to feature and even then we have Davies. You never know we could end up needing Gazzaniga.

He’s a home grown player so couldn’t be replaced

No worries.

It needs to be another None Homegrown player though.

KWP is a HG player - we would have to drop a non-HG player.

Limits are 17 non-HG players on the roster.

£135k a week for those curious. That would certainly match the talks of our wage structure changing

Rafa Dan der Vaart?

@GobbyJJ don't blame me - I did not make the rules...

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Probably bollocks but there was a report earlier today that Lamela has been ‘offered’ to Roma.

Plus there’s also the recent ITK that Sissoko wants to go home.

 

[Ekmek]

Already back in France. Cant be good no?

No way he gets this before Kane and a bunch of other players get new contracts. We won't let him be our highest earner.
And even then, I can't see us paying him that much.
