Good tidings. I welcome this development.
My guess is when he’s available for free, a lot more teams become interested.
It generally takes a year for a player working with Poch to adapt to his methods before we start to see the best of them. Better to get him in sooner, so he can learn and improve.
Plus if he's on a free transfer, loads of teams will suddenly be interested and throwing huge wages at him that we can't compete with.
He's one of the brightest young talents in England - until recently more highly thought of than the likes of Jadon Sancho. If we were to sign him for £30m and give him a 5 year contract, he'd be worth pretty much double that overnight. There's no real downside to buying him, even if he fails we could sell him for a profit.
Finally. Although to be fair with his injury there was no real rush. It will be good to get another long term target in.
I see that totally but think given that we would "save" £30m we would put those towards wages and/or a hefty signing on fee - it will all be the same in terms of costs but we would have additional income next year etc. Also i think as suggested he wants to stay in London and we would be best fit so Manure and other clubs could try but i think we would get him in the end
Anyways moot point as ITK suggests its done haha - so my grumblings are useless now.
Jason Dozzell.Just out of interest who actually is the goat?
I've always believed its Harry Redknapp, obviously take that with a pinch of saltJust out of interest who actually is the goat?
Our front three in 5 years could be:
Clarke Parrott Sessegnon
We would not save £30m as we would need to pay a fee at a tribunal, which wouldn't be £30m of course but could easily be around £15m.
