It means he appreciates and understands puel and the club telling him off for doing the l’equipe article. 
 

But while he continues to follow us, I remain confused and interested ......

So confused right now. One day think he's going to sign, then he's clearly staying, but he's still following us and Cags too. WTF is going on...

Even if we don't sign this player, I think it's worth pointing out that our scouting team still looks like they have the secret sauce:

• Trincao might be staying with Barcelona but we were linked with him in January before Barca pounced and he looks like a wonderkid and future star of the Portuguese national team. It's impressive we identified him even if we won't get him.
• Castagne I have always rated but I thought was absolutely superb on his debut. At 24 years of age and with his versatility, he looks like a great bit of business.
• Fofana looks great for a 19 year old. The last young defender we spent over 20m on didn't turn out too bad either! Maybe we don't get him, but we knew after 19 games he was one to get and tried to sign him seriously. Again I think that's impressive scouting.
• Cengiz Under is a well known player so bagging him isn't so much down to scouting, but I think it's a good signing for a decent (for the Premier League) price.

As far as I can tell we are the only teams in the league that were seriously interested in these players. I know Spurs were interested in Castagne but they didn't make an offer, and Everton aren't doing anything with Fofana. I think it's impressive in this day and age that we seem to be able to identify promising young talent that will add to our squad and who we can use to keep funding the growth of the club. If we can keep bringing in players of the level of Soyuncu and Ricardo then the club will continue to grow and grow till hopefully one day we no longer have to sell and start going for 60m+ players ourselves. I think we are about 5 years minimum away from that, depending of course on what happens in the world between now and then!

 

Compare this to the sums of money clubs around us have burned on poor players like Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth and it's easy to see why our scouting and analytics teams are so highly rated. Everton this season do appear to finally have got some good buys in, but they are all on big wages and cost a lot of money, and it's a short term solution. We really look like we've got the "conveyor belt" strategy used by teams like Ajax and Dortmund down already.

[lcfc sheff]

I don’t think he gets much out of just cock teasing us so I’d imagine this whole drama will soon be resolved (in our favour)

[foxile5]

That looks ominous.

 

He'll be signing a new contract with St Etienne.

[Lad1966]

I don’t care anymore. I think this guy is self obsessed and he shown no respect to his current  club and LCFC. It’s a shame cos he is obviously a wonderful talent, his ego worries me !

Personally delighted to see a player who wants to leave and is in dispute with his club put in three professional performances resulting in 3 clean sheets..... that’s all you need to know about his character... 

[Lesta Legend]

He'll sign a new contract

Firstly their celebrations are way over the top and secondly, I doubt if something was lined up they'd have risked losing out on 29m euros.

Not that over the top when you think how big the rivalry between Marseille and St Etienne is. It's huge in France.

Depressing shit 

 

**** em off. He starting to piss me off now

Wtf? Why? He's still allowed to celebrate and enjoy winning with his current club. Mahrez did the same for us. Pissing you off cos he's enjoying his football? Grow up. It's not even him that's holding back the deal. It's his stubborn manager. 

Stop being such a drama queen. 

 

That goes for everyone else that says 'we should just move on' just because he has the audacity to remain professional and still play for the club he's employed by (like Maguire, Chilwell, Mahrez all did even though they knew they were gonna leave).
