Lamptey feels more likely and he’s had interest from other clubs recently. Sporting and Wolves enquired about him.
Incoming wise - Ethan Ampadu is one that makes more and more sense for us. He’s impressing in Italy, can play a number of positions and Chelsea will be looking to get rid.
His contract is up next month, but we have a year extension option. Can’t see him willing to sign a new deal, as assume he wants to play more.
I also don’t think he suits RDZ’s style either.
I like Dedic a lot, but I don’t know if we could play him and Estupinian together in the same team.
One of the reasons I don’t think Lamptey has played much is because the team needs a player with different strengths on the other side.
From a quick search we haven’t really been linked apart from one tweet.
The scout report I’ve read compares him more to Darwin Nunez than Haaland, but he’s a ‘all round striker’ and doesn’t appear to have a real weakness.
Wolves and Benfica are main ones being linked. He has a release clause of 5m
There’s also some drawing comparisons to Leicester… “you’re only a bad window away from a relegation battle”.
It’s lazy journalism churned out with very little research, but gives them something to talk about.
Naylor just tweeted “De Zerbi, asked if Sanchez is training with the squad at the moment: "He decided everything. Robert decided everything at the moment. He wanted it this way (not travelling to be on the bench). Not me, not the club."
Sounds like Sanchez is on the way out.
Given Lyon are looking like missing out on Europe this season, I’ll question how likely would they be to losing Johann Lepenant.
We could do far worse than getting him in as a Caicedo replacement. Nearest possible replacement according to FB ref.
Barnes won’t be. There’s a few interested clubs according to reports and Leicester want 60m.
We could get 6 South American wonderkids for that. Top of our list should be Enso Gonzalez aka Enciso 2.0 from Libertad.
I’ll bite… in some circumstances it makes sense to shop local. James Justin and KWP’s are both still relatively young, can play either side, know the league and have both been talked about as being options for England squad. If we’re playing European competition then we also need to be aware of...
Could be for a number of reasons.
Main one is he doesn’t suit the new managers plans and the other players brought in who can play his position.
Especially if Poch wants to bring in more new cm options for next season. If there’s not a pathway, and given their FFP why not cash in now if you...
