PSG's feeder club. I fully expect to see him supplying through balls for Messi and Mbappe in a few months
On the face of it, a good move. Though I do wonder if there has been some nominal settlement of wages to facilitate the move. Currently leaves us with Styles, Wolfe, Benson, Kane and potentially Hondermarck and Palmer as centre mids, though I'd be very surprised if at least 2 of those weren't with us when the season starts.
Anyone else feel it's bad we are thanking him? Say he's left but do we have to thank him for his apparent professionalism and hard work that us fans haven't seen for the years he's spent costing us cash?
Exactly, why can’t some folk accept that some signings are a bit of a gamble and it goes with the territory that it can go either way. What if it comes good for him and he gets a decent move, ( I would say there’ll be a sell- on clause) Will the club get criticised for: 1. Not inserting a bigger sell- on clause? 2. Not getting a bigger fee for him. (Acknowledge it’s undisclosed, but sometimes these things later become known) 3. Not sticking with him and giving him a further contract?
In this instance, I'm just pleased we've managed to offload him and have hopefully saved the majority of what his wages were for the final year. We've a fair few more we need to try and offload yet. In a way, maybe the relegation might have helped us get rid of some of the fringe deadwood... unless we failed to insert relegation clauses.
do you expect every development player we bring in, to work? how many development players do you think are released by clubs, every season?
okey doke. I'll take your word for it. do you have the info on that? I'd love to see how we compared to other clubs.
Stats say 97% of academy players at premier league clubs never play a game in the premiership. 70% Never get a professional contract at an english football club.
He had spells at both Chelsea and Liverpool and came here on a four year contract. I'd say it's been a failure and we didn't sign him to play in the under 23's. I'd have liked to have given him a go. I said that about Toni Silva and never saw him play either so wtf do I know?
