Sambiasso isn't Enzo Maresca, Bert wasn't Nigel Pearson. Someone's just told them something through the grapevine. Even professional journalists with strong sources get them wrong. In the same post that Percy said we were after Winks and Coady he said the goalkeeper we were signing was Steffen. Maybe he heard wrong, maybe the transfer just changed, that happens in football. Sambiasso has a better success rate this summer so far than all the other rubbish source people keep posting and reacting too like Nixon and Jacobs. least he doesnt get his insider stuff from the KFC drive thru like one ITK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_no7 Posted 23 July 2023 Share Posted 23 July 2023 If indeed he is going Luton then I’d question whether we were actually in for him and made a bid. This will have nothing to do with Thomas signing an extension or not, Giles was being looked at primarily as a LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_no7 Posted 23 July 2023 Share Posted 23 July 2023 1 hour ago, StanSP said: How come? He turns 24 this season and has not yet played more than one campaign for one club. Signing for Luton, let’s face it, he’ll be back in the championship by 2024 and likely looking for a move. Whereas with us, in my opinion, it would be a better more stable career move with a stronger chance of a long term Premier League future. Plus we are a huge club compared to Luton and will still be able to offer him better wages despite this relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s still a season in the PL, and he’ll back himself to do well enough to earn a move in the event of Luton being relegated. He probably feels he’s spent enough time in the Championship. And there is no guarantee of promotion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably feels he’s spent enough time in the Championship. And there is no guarantee of promotion here. The thing is, and I know I'm incredibly biased here, but the vast majority of football fans will look at Luton and look at us and all agree on who's more likely to be playing in the premier League after this season. The wages he's likely to be offered at Luton will be similar to what they are here so he has (if we are in for him) a decision to make. Play a season in the premier league, likely spend most of the time in defence, in a solid bank of 4 or 5, without the ball, holding your lines, sticking by your man and look to break quickly. Or Play a season in the championship, more likely to be attacking, with the ball and look to dominate teams. All of that, of course, is full of ifs and buts, Luton could surprise everyone, we could struggle and be looking for a new manager by Christmas, but if you're looking at the choice right now, and as I said it's very biased, but I know which choice I'd prefer Edited 23 July 2023 by Jimbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 23 July 2023 Share Posted 23 July 2023 That's a shame, but the reality is we can't really compete if a player wants Premier League football. Move on swiftly, onto the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start modestly, and then just slide. They will comfortably finish bottom. The premier league is as poor as it’s been for a long time this season. Any team from 12th down could be in the championship in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short term view of getting to the PL now, or the longer term view that it’s likely to be a longer stay if Leicester go back up. I’d guess that most would take the short term view, especially if they had spent their career in the EFL, but each individual will be different. There will also be a bit of ego involved with players thinking they can make a difference and help their team avoid relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what i speculated - for 5M, if we'd been interested, i'm sure it'd have been done weeks ago.... either that or he made it clear he wants to stay in the PL?
