sacreblueits442 Posted 28 December 2022 Posted 28 December 2022 2 hours ago, Dames said: Why on earth would Soyuncu sign a new deal after being frozen out for 9 months? Amateur hour or what. ...true, if he wanted to stay, he could have been well rewarded with a bigger contract here!!! The only way I can see a turn around by Soyuncu, is if he believes once you have given your word, you stick to it. O'Neil, refused to leave Wycombe when bigger clubs came calling to see out his contract, he left us to go to Celtic, perhaps the holy grail for him, hard to turn down.
EastAnglianFox Posted 28 December 2022 Posted 28 December 2022 Szalai, Gosens and Madueke then I'll consider not despising Brendan and the recruitment team until at least mid Feb.

Along with Harwood-Bellis, came 3rd in a recent analysis on ball playing CBs and was with some very good company 1

He probably won’t but I wouldn’t expect a manager to say otherwise. They have to keep the allusion of us offering a deal to get some sort of transfer fee this January Edited 28 December 2022 by CosbehFox 1

CosbehFox Posted 28 December 2022 Posted 28 December 2022 Just now, LFox99 said: what a shite thing to say In what way? He’s 5ft 6. He’s now 24 and only ever excelled in the Portuguese league. Went Sporting early this season, was really excited to see him but couldn’t believe how small in height he was. Which like or not is a bigger obstacle to the lad succeeding in a big five league where defensive midfielders and full backs are far more athletic 2

Every club in the world is looking for left footed right sided attackers, they're all gonna be expensive especially if you're looking for quality as well. 52m release clause, can probably negotiate them down by either sending someone their way or by virtue of him wanting to come back to England now that Sporting aren't in the UCL anymore

He made the decision to leave England at a young age and try his luck in a foreign country, something which a lot of English players aren't mature enough to do. Also what exactly are you looking for in a winger? I want someone who is tricky, can turn on the spot, low centre of gravity. I don't need another Vestergaard out wide Edited 28 December 2022 by LFox99

It’s called an opinion on a player I’ve watched with my very own eyes. Don’t understand why you are getting so offended because I have a differing opinion I could be proven wrong of course but when you are signing a player from a non top five league you have to contextualise his statistics. Mahrez’s situation was different given he was afforded a year to bed in. Mahrez is also 5ft 10. Struggling to think of small height wingers who’ve been successful in the PL I’d argue Pedro Goncalves is the more impressive player at Sporting. Edited 28 December 2022 by CosbehFox

Can play CM very competently as well. Excellent set piece taker

I agree with this opinion on Edwards to the extent that I wouldn’t be risking the money that Sporting would want for him. If he was still at Guimaraes, he’d have maybe been worth the 6 million punt.
