Son Heung Min - signed

[IMissTheWaddler]

Doesn't make sense at all...Maybe it's a new trend in football given Berahino supposedly had one.

Doesn't sound as promising as it did an hour ago...

Don't see us shelling £40 million + on Son and Berahino, can anyone?

Yes. Because nothing makes sense any more

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

His word 'we will try to reach an agreement' suggest they want a deal and to cash in... Think we would be best rooting for Lazio tonight as then they'll be even more desperate after failing to secure CL money.

Also 'under their conditions' also fly in the face of rumours of a release clause.

 

[Lou3000]

Are you basing those figures on a £0 net spend?

Those figures are that we still have 17 left in the bank from transfers this summer, 7 would come from our expected trio of outgoings, and Lamela and Townsend would raise more than enough to pay the 18m for Song. My calculations would leave 12m for a CM. That would give you a 0 net spend.

But on the flip side, them crashing out could limit their ability to sign a good replacement?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but so the cabbage cryptic is kimchi I supposed??!! One of Korean appetisers/side dishes made from fermented and seasoned vegetables, most notably cabbage!!!

 

[tdk101]

Leverkusen is quite a reasonable club to deal with when it comes to transfer dealings.

 

[mark87]

Lamela must be off if son and berahino come in.

And to add to this, if these two come in that would surely mean no bolasie? I hope to god we don't get bolasie, not for the insane fees quoted anyway.

Young-Pyo Lee was ok to I guess! Well was better than Atouba Edman and Gilberto

Good god, Atouba Edmans sound like only one player....


i remember them both, and feeling like both would make it before it became apparent both were very, very flawed


a combination of both though, now i think about it, would also be very, very flawed

If this transfer happens. I pledge I will have korean bbq that night

The best korean food is Gejang (Raw Crabs Marinated in Soy Sauce)

 

[Stoof]

Would we fly him over for a medical if we weren't confident of agreeing terms? I think Völler is playing this down somewhat.

Exactly.

I remember hearing before that we've asked the selling club to do certain elements of a medical and send over results. But having a full blown one a) costs money and b) surely has to be a sign that something is positive.

 

[Schitzophonic]

Most German clubs are reasonable to deal with in the market.

It's because they're so damn efficient.

 

[TWLURK]

Thought it was interesting that Leverkusen's record sale was 15 million pounds (Schurrle in 2013) Certainly a 20+ million pound bid would get their attention..

 

[NYSpur]

I agree with those who believe that we need pace and the concerns related to being packed in could be minimized (if even true). Say what you want about Lennon

Lamela must be off if son and berahino come in.

That is still not enough money. We have 12mil from previous sales. Berahino + Son is minimimum 39mil and probably more. We will be lucky to recoup 14mil on Lamela.

That's good because there's nothing like cooking something on a BBQ until it is raw (and yet still black - an English speciality)

We're on a slipper slope with this talk.

Asia is a massive land mass, so Ali Daei was from Iran, which is in Asia. Alcantara was Barcelona's all time scorer until Messi. He's from the Philippines, which are in Asia. And Bum-kun was so good that Klinsmann said he wasn't even close to Bum-kun's ability.

But don't let that get in your way.


By the way, you gotta admit that it's kind of funny that the German guy gave this a WTF rating. I mean that's pure gold.

Well...you did just call a whole slew of SCers "racist" before editing your post. I'm surprised you didn't get more WTF votes.

 

[strader]

Could it be all along Son was a target, Levy waited for westbroms outcome regarding SB. Now this comes out, WB chairman will be pissing himself now.

Levy comes with a reduced bid on deadline day .

Nah I think it'll be more than 14m for lamela, he's still young and is proven in Italy, so taking a 15m or so hit on him I don't see happening, but who knows.

 

[mattie g]

I called a slew of people talking like racists, racists. But tried to clean it up in fairness. You're like the BBC's Sherlock Holmes........can't read social cues.

If you say so!

Levy must be using Jedi mind tricks to make us believe a £0 net spend is the route to winning trophies.

I still believe they are seperate deals, having little effect on one another. We will see...
