I still think this'll go through. My worry is that someone else swoops in. I want this bloke though. Got real Soyuncu vibes about him. Same. If we end up signing Fofana and Under, as well as Castagne so far, that's not too bad a window.

The same bloke I referred to earlier in the thread says Fofana is another Soyuncu, basically.
Administrator Stan Posted September 16, 2020 Administrator Posted September 16, 2020 I know social media isn't the be all and end all but he followed us again as well as Soyuncu...

I've noticed the Norwich love-in has stopped now that Milan are looking to be a bit more competitive and Chelsea shit money like there's no tomorrow

Leicester City - 1 Premier League title AC Milan - 0 Premier League Title Embarrassing really, a club founded in 1899 hasnt won the premier league.

I'm amazed they even have the audacity to enter the bidding here. It is quite mental how much football has changed really in that Leicester could actually beat AC Milan to a player with plenty not batting an eyelid.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 18, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 18, 2020 I still can't understand our fans slating Puel in this. Honestly I was no fan of his but he's taking the stance I'd take. We can't play hardball with everybody and then moan when somebody does it to us. I do think it will eventually go through though.

They're the ones that: 1) Think it's just managers and players in a football club 2) Play too much FIFA 3) Play too much FM 4) all of the above. I can guarantee you they were lapping it up when we were doing the same with Mahrez...

Seen a few comparisons between Fofana's behaviour here and the way Mahrez left but I do think Fofana's not quite been that bad - I mean he's been pretty open and honest, and he is trying to force the move, but he is at least still training hard and playing well. Mahrez stopped doing that for a while and I think that above all is what stings.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 23, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 23, 2020 I'm actually really losing faith now. I'm really surprised that St Etienne can afford to turn that down. Actually think we may get Tah after all.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 23, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 23, 2020 West Ham have gone in for him now. I'll be absolutely livid if they get him.
Administrator Stan Posted September 24, 2020 Administrator Posted September 24, 2020 Apparently their bid is in instalments so not sure how St Etienne would feel about that if they need the money now? Rumours are also that St Etienne will be happy to accept an offer from us if we were to loan him back for a season, which doesn't particularly suit us....

We need someone in now who we bed in over the season. We haven't got the numbers in that position.
Administrator Stan Posted September 29, 2020 Administrator Posted September 29, 2020 Can imagine this may be our final offer with less than a week to go of the window.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 29, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 29, 2020 Get the fuck in. He's ours. That's a lot of money but if he's as good as I'm hearing then it's worth it. I don't mind paying the big money for top quality. There were two differences with him and Tarkowski all along for me. Tarkowski is 27, and quite soon 28. He's as good as he's going to get. We also know how good he is. That's good in one sense - but we also know how good he isn't. Fofana's ceiling is a lot higher. For that reason I was in favour of Fofana all along. Forget this 'Prem proven' myth - it's exactly that, a myth, it's a subconscious was to big the league up. It's shown itself to be a myth many a time.
Administrator Stan Posted September 29, 2020 Administrator Posted September 29, 2020 We've basically sold Chilwell and used that money to get Castagne and Fofana, heavily improving our defence in the process.

And that my friends is how you progress as a non-bankrolled club. Selling is not a bad thing sometimes.
