lcfc sheff Posted 16 July 2019 Share Posted 16 July 2019 Rebic - similar to Perez in the sense he can play on the wing, CF or as a 10. Takes lots of shots and surely could be had for <£40m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 16 July 2019 Share Posted 16 July 2019 Apparently Ziyech has a 22m release clause. not sure if this is correct but if so why has nobody snapped him up. Looks quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read on the "Wingers" topic that Overmars has stated the value of his "buy out clause", a strange thing for the DoF of a club to do if you really valued the asset regarding future contribution to their club. Sounds a bit like the Nacho purchase, looks good on paper but problematic in reality. One trick pony or discipline issues? Edited 17 July 2019 by sacreblueits442 correction.

There has to be something beneath the surface with Ziyech as his stats are phenomenal with a low buy out clause yet nobody seems to be that interested. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 49 minutes ago, pmcla26 said: I have a few thoughts on Ziyech but none are supported by much evidence, just theories... Maybe he enjoys the fact he’s the big fish at Ajax, it’s a big club still and Champions League football. His agent probably tells him otherwise but he might just be content with life in Amsterdam. Or, he might think if he moves it should be to a Real Madrid, Bayern Munich etc. and he should be promised to be a key man. Maybe no one has offered him this so far and at 26, if he moves to a Sevilla (who he turned down) what if it goes wrong and no one takes him from there, or he plays really well and when he’s 28/29 no one will pay the big money for him. Wouldn’t surprise me if he just ran down his contract like Brahimi has at Porto this year then look for a move from there, he might not be in a rush to go just yet. Lastly, it’s the Eredevisie, and it’s hard to pull up trees on an international scale when you play for Morocco. If the buyout clause proves to be false, I don’t blame people for being sceptical for paying big money for a 26 year old who’s only ever really ‘done it’ in Holland. Not saying he’s a bad player, whenever I’ve seen him I thought he looked quality, but he’s hardly young and for the money you’re looking at he can’t be afforded time to adapt wherever he goes. Part of me also thinks a deal has already been agreed behind the scenes for Ziyech to go somewhere it's just being kept under wraps for some reason.

DoF recommending him to other clubs and pointing out cheap escape clause? There must be something going on there. Perhaps there have been enquiries but his demands/attitude have put off potential suitors. There is more to scouting than simply looking at players ability... Their overall demeanour and attitude towards their team mates etc will all be noted and like ourselves, many clubs will want to know if a player is likely to fit into the dynamic of the squad. If they look like they could be a show pony or a bit of a diva then we don't them. (you only have to look at how toxic Pogba has been for ManUtd). Having said all that Monaco wanted rid of Tielemans as he was thought to have attitude problems I believe, yet when he came here he was made welcome and fitted right in so sometimes it is not necessarily all down to the player (it takes two to make an argument) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 I think we're pretty close to another ideal window. This is what I would like to make it (in my opinion) a close to perfect one: Incoming: Nadiem Amiri Hoffenheim €14 million (too good a deal to pass up for a talent like his) Alexis Claude-Maurice FC Lorient €14 million (the price was quoted earlier in the window to Arsenal before they walked away because they have no cash) Outgoing: Maguire £80 million (I think its going to happen) Ghezzal Loan Mendy Sainté £5 million Slimani £5 million Diabaté Championship Loan Silva Bordeaux £13 million Gray £10 million (his contract expires the summer after next, he'll be bought for pennies next summer or, worse, we could renew him so have a chance to sell him for more) Jakupovic £0.5 million King £0.5 million Development loans Kapustka Pascanu Knight Ughelumba and as many as the development team see fit Leaves us with a squad of Barnes/Albrighton Vardy/Iheanacho Perez/Claude-Maurice Maddison/Amiri Ndidi/Hamza Tielemans/Leshabela Chilwell/Fuchs Soyuncu/Amartey Evans/Benkovic Ricardo/Justin Schmeichel/Ward Which I think is great to push on for Europa League this season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James is a middle name I guess then Alexis Claude-Maurice has massive potential, I think he's going to be a real star. He's slightly different to all our other options too. We'd potentially be in the position to properly decide horses for courses with Albrighton, Barnes, Perez, and Claude-Maurice all offering different things from the wings.

jeffschlupp Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 Attacking midfield definitely sounds like he means a no.8 rather than a winger. I suppose if Ayoze and Ricardo play like they did last night across the season, there'll be no need for a wide player, although I'd then say that leaves us short for options off the bench up top - we'd still be bringing on Gray, Albrighton and Iheanacho to try and change games. I wonder if it might, therefore, be someone that can play both no.8 and out wide, the obvious candidate being Hakim Ziyech. Then we have good cover for Maddison, but they can also come on when Barnes or Ayoze are ineffective. Rafinha from Barcelona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetly Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 We have already done some amazing business this transfer window.. But can stretch the budget a bit more for any of theses players. Hakim Ziyech Nabil Fekir memphis depay Leon Bailey Any of the above players add goals assists and surly takes into the top 6 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
