Saint Garrett Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 TBF, when we signed Ings, nothing was really in the press until about 10pm that evening...I'll hold judgement until Monday evening, but isn't looking brilliant. Think it's now very unlikely we'll be bringing in anyone from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has played barely any first team football, only in the championship, and even there has worse goals+assists per game stats the Che Adams, McBurnie, Maupay ect. And he goes for £23.5m with a massive sell on clause and a buy back option?! Liverpool have robbed them blind, it's Ibe/Solanke style deals all over again, who ever is in chance of selling needs a raise fast. Agreed, Liverpool have robbed them blind here. Sheffield must be super desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought McTominay was extremely highly rated at Manure and only injury kept him out of the first 11 last season? I'd of thought Chelsea would be looking for transfer fee for RLC not a loan.

That's poss why we're missing out on everything as players don't want to sit and wait for us to get our shit in order.

tajjuk Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Grujic looks potentially good, was a stand out for Liverpool against Arsenal last night apparently, decent age, good physicality about him, two seasons of experience in the Bundesliga. Ticks a lot of boxes, but by the sounds of things looks more likely to be a loan with a view to buying than a straight up permanent transfer.

I can’t imagine they are taking much on these - so a few quid from mug punters probably does cause a price shift. Also not sure the extent to which bookies ‘take a position’ to any substantial liability anymore (based on ITK money or not) they just go a tick or 2 shorter than Betfair etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 The positions of Brest and Southampton on the international midfielder Ibrahima Diallo have come closer in recent hours. Revealed on our site, Southampton's interest in Brestois Ibrahima Diallo has grown in recent hours. The Brest midfielder welcomes the prospect of joining the southern England club. Gregory Lorenzi, the sports director of the Brest stadium, confided in recent hours in private that the offer of the English club exceeded 14 million euros (excluding bonus). What to satisfy the Breton club? Not immediately. But clearly the positions on the subject of the international Espoirs are approaching. via google translate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future of Ibrahima Diallo (21) is shaping up well in the Premier League. For several days now, the Stade Brestois midfielder has been the priority for Southampton, which has agreed with the Finistère club, according to our sources. The amount of the transfer would be fifteen million euros together with a percentage of the capital gain in favor of Stade Brestois. As a reminder, Brest must also donate part of its own capital gain (20%) to AS Monaco, which had definitely sold it the international Under-21 midfield in 2019. There is therefore very little chance of seeing Diallo face his training club on Sunday (3 p.m.). Even though the player wasn't fixated on leaving this summer, the trend of a move has strengthened in recent days for all parties who had a verbal agreement to leave this summer in the event of a satisfactory offer. She came 15th in the Premier League. Er Stade Brestois is already working on its replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that before but one day it might be true. 😀 Watching the youtube vids he did remind me of Kante before I saw that 'the next..' on an article about him. Seems pretty quick and despite not being huge seems to be quite strong and sturdy muscling people off the ball. Just can't really judge the standard though I mean he doesn't have a lot of first team football and half of it is French second division. According to the Evening Standard was being looked at by Arsenal and Leicester apparently bid for him in January. He at least looks like from the videos and descriptions to have the raw ingredients for a Ralph midfielder, quite a few comments on him being comfortable dribbling and bursting forward with ball which offers something JWP can't really do and Hojberg couldn't.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Sounds promising. Fingers crossed. Maybe the link to Grujic was a bit of kidology to make Brest think we starting to look at alternatives? In other news, Brighton have a new striker a little under the radar - Andi Zeqiri from Lausanne. Never heard of him so no idea if he's any good!

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 (edited) So... Ralph has said two or three more signings before the transfer window closes. It looks like Diallo must be the first, but what about the other two? What is the latest news on the following players?: Ruben Loftus-Cheek Ryan Sessegnon Jovan Cabral Folarin Balogun Jack Butland Are there any other players with whom we have been linked in the last few days that could be one of the other potential signings? Also, where are we up to with player sales?: Hoedt - was supposed to be rejoining Lazio and having a medical last Monday but seems to have gone quiet. There were some rumblings about Lazio being short of money. Anyone know what's happening? Carrillo - was supposed to be leaving for free to join Elche in La Liga but again it seems to have gone a little quiet. Any news? Boufal - There was talk of him joining Olimpiacos and then it changed to Angers, but again it has gone quiet! Gunn - Linked with Stoke City, but it seems to be dependant on Butland leaving. There were some rumours of a swap deal with Saints. Has anyone got any news or updates on any of these or any other potential transfer moves?
