Safestandingfox Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 Absolutely agree re using Iversen as a makeweight if we can, might be making it up but I'm sure it's been said that Stolarcyzk is thought of more highly at the club, makes sense then if Stoke want Iversen and we want Souttar, everyone's a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to learn from the Colwill/Fofana debacle in the summer here and use Iversen as a makeweight. I’ll take Smithies and Stolarcyzk holding the fort as back up for 6 months. tbf Im with that, 12/15mil with iversen going on loan to them for the rest of the season, its a win win all round i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it brings the fee down enough then it might leave us enough to go out and get Lafont. I can dream... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyLeon Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 Why don't Atletico Madrid sign him instead of Soyuncu? If this signing was to replace Amartey, and be first backup to Soyuncu/Faes i'd be fine with it, but we shouldn't be bringing this guy in and letting a superior player go.

Unfortunately it is illegal to force people to sign contracts, and after June I guess it will be classed as kidnapping if we tried to keep him?

You think Söyüncü is better than this guy? Based on what? Prime CS and I’d agree but he went awol for club and country a long time ago imo.

TheFiveTime Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 I trawled through the stoke forum to see what they thought. Most think 12-15 is fair. Seems like he is a good player who just came back from serious injury and has been shakey on return. Prevailing sentiment is happy to let him go.

gerblod Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 Ticks all the boxes for me. a. Tall - against some of the forwards City have encountered recently our blokes have looked Lilliputian. b. Committed. From the descriptions given he's not scared to make decisions and also to throw himself about a bit. c. City desperately need to stop relying on Amartey and to bolster Faes with a proactive centre-back. d. He sounds like he's a self-starter - could be captain material. We need someone who's going to dominate. As for the ACL, it's almost a rite of passage for pro footballers. I suspect, when it happens, the team mates who've avoided it think 'there but for fortune'. Players have progressively, through nutrition, weight training and physiological research, become stronger, faster and fitter. There's a school of thought that believes the knee has become more vulnerable to the stresses put upon it by the modern game/modern player. Until some definitive research is arrived at or some protective device is created then it's going to happen. The best surgeon I've read of is a guy out in the US south-west. I suspect the rich clubs get preference as to who gets the best. All the side to side mobility in the leg comes from the hips and ankle. What's needed is a lightweight, flexible support to provide protection during games (and maybe training). They certainly exist in skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly not in the starting XI. We need players with a bit of experience who won't complain about being on the bench to fill in here and there and play a role in early cup games. In the absence of hungry and ready U23 players, there's a case I feel for Amartey being in the squad right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never shy'd away when the going gets tough and, whilst not the greatest centre back we've every had, has filled that gap to keep the team competitive. Every club needs a Dan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just keep following Rodgers blindly, and enjoy our descent into financial chaos very shortly. And how exactly would you secure the signing of new contracts or contract extensions? These players want to go to big clubs on big wages or they want more than we can pay them. If other clubs don't come in for them with big offers as they don't consider them good enough to warrant the cash the club wants for them, do we sell them on the cheap or allow them to fulfil the contract they signed for the time signed for and hope they don't tool down or their heads go down and performances drop off? The problem is the players believe they are good enough to play for one of these clubs but their only chance of joining is on a free as these clubs seemingly (with the exception of Maddison) don't want to pay a fee for them but would take them on a gamble then it is what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
