The problem we will have if he has a good few months he won't be signing for us. Be interesting to see how he does anyway 1
Dusty Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 Watching his highlights and feel like Daka might play off him quite well. He seems to get into positions to fizz the ball back across the box for people to knock in and can see it benefitting Daka. 4
cruzFOX Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 Look we all know we have a decent enough team that on paper & fact should be no where near the relagation zone. We all know the reasons why we’ve been struggling. It happens to the best teams. Now this is where we change our predicament and start putting points on the table. confidence has been fragile with our lot especially Barnes. Having both Victor and Tete in the team will fire a rocket up his bum. The boy really needs it! With madders fit too everyone will be feeling a buzz in the changing room now. Beating villa at their place will be huge but I’ll take a hard fought draw and build on that. These are promising times as we’re still gonna get another couple of players in before deadline day I feel which will be massive! let’s ALL get behind the boys AND Rogers so we can get out of this mess and back up the league where we belong. COYF LETS GO 🦊👊🏾 1
J. James Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 From what l understand there was a decision that went this way: City rep* "What position does he play"? Agent "winger" City rep "Hmmm is he better than Perez and Barnes"? Agent "ummm... l dunno" City rep " does he have a full set of legs and can he count to twelve without reference to notes"? Agent "ahh sim,sim senhor" City rep "we'll take him" * can't disclose who our man is obvs.😐

Nicolo Barella Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 2 hours ago, themightyfin said: OK as I said last night when I confirmed it was done it's complicated. Here goes... We have an OPTION to buy fee agreement in place that can be activated anytime between now and June. If its left till after June then potentially other clubs could come in for him and/fifa will get involved and make some decisions around tbe Ukraine war with both contracted Ukraine players and international players. If it reaches that stage it could all get messy. Fee paid is 3.5 million Euro presumably paid to Shakhtar who will compensate Lyon. It's very complicated but that's it as far as I can tell. Apologies in advance if I have any of the final details wrong. Now go ahead and slate me! We heard you like options to buy, so we put an option in your option 😏

Nope, not having that for one second. This is not my definition of really going for it. It’s pleasing, it’s in the right direction, but it completely fails to address the long term development of the squad and smells of being piecemeal measure. Really didn’t want to be the Matt of this thread but it looks like I’m gunna have to accept the title. Sorry.
Jimmy Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 6 month loan deal basically then, do we have an option/obligation to buy included?

If we were comfortable in the table we wouldn't be spending money, it's being done because we are in trouble. 1

If we were comfortable in the table we wouldn't be spending money, it's being done because we are in trouble. Indeed. And much of that is our own doing. We're going to have to accept the fact that, regardless of whether or not Rodgers is here, the team needs a complete rebuild due to previous failings/inaction in the market. This will likely mean a few seasons of lower half finishes to steady the boat. I'd rather us do that in this league, than do so in the championship tbh. The aim right now is a short term goal which is to get to 40 points in any which way possible. That's all that matters right now.

Lambert09 Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 so we need him to be really good but not perfect. More assists than goals, keep him out of the headlights and hope that the others stay away and don’t turn his head.

No doubt he went to Lyon thinking it was the right option, and look what has happened there. He’s still pretty young to have been dealing with so much uncertainty and so far from home. Anyhow, looking forward to seeing him get started! .. these types of changes within clubs do happen and was obviously not forseen!!! I would rather he had been able to sign for 5 year contract, but that option is not there, so him coming here is a win win for him.

Who cares what might happen in 6 months time, we could all have a gout pandemic and all in wheelchairs.
