If Gilmour has already spoken to Conte and is happy to go then it’s down to the fee.
£10-12m as reported is lowball but with achievable bonuses on top and a good sell-on it might just happen IF he’s not going to fit into Hurzeler’s playing style.
I could see this at the lower fee if we think he’s potentially EPL-ready. At the top end or if he needs to “acclimatise via a loan” I think not so likely. With the loss of Gross we need an attacking mid with a clear eye for the killer pass. I’d love to think Enciso had that but I’m not...
Not confirmed but seems inevitable.
We are not a club to hold a great servant against his will.
Fee will be relatively low (£6-9m reportedly) and nowhere near his value to us but at 33 and just a year left on his contract it is what it is
Steele now being linked with Southampton. It would be a good move for him (first choice at least until Bazunu is back) and give us the chance to keep Rushworth and give him game time in cup competitions
£8.5m tops
33 years old
12 months left in contract.
Has been very open about wanting to return to Germany.
Wish him all the best. He’s been a brilliant servant to us. Now it’s time we repaid him and give him his wish.
We need a defensive midfielder AND a central attacking midfielder just to replace Pascal Gross (assuming he is going)
Wieffer and Smith-Rowe maybe?
takes me straight back to standing by the players’ tunnel on an upturned beer crate 🤣
We bought back 60+ bottles from our last trip
2x€30 (retail at £90 here)
The rest between €2.50 and €4.50.
So far we’ve had one which was a bit *meh* and the rest I would categorise in the £8+ bracket here
