[Albion] Lucas Gourna-Douath

[macbeth]

No idea of the reliability of this source, but we are after RB Salzburg’s Lucas Gourna-Douath as a replacement for Caicedo, allegedly.



if you think Moises has a high ceiling, wait till you see this guy. Mentioned him on the possible replacements thread, he would be absolutely ideal. Not even sure if we’d notice a drop in quality this season. Won’t be cheap, however

 

[Beanstalk]

Well this would be a sublime replacement. Get Desire Doue in as well whilst we are at it.

 

[Shopes]

Yes please

 

[Bakero]

What kind of fee we looking at

 

[Smithy]

A different source has also said the same.

 

[Peteinblack]

Flair name too

 

[macbeth]

What kind of fee we looking at

should be around £30M on a good day, but they’ll know we have cash in the bank now, therefore anyone’s guess, really.

but we couldn’t ask for a better replacement, if we get him he will be sold for more than caicedo imo

 

[Mancgull]

Very similar to a certain player that played for us last season!

 

[Nobby]

Whatever fee we were looking at will now have doubled!!

 

[Frutos]

Would be very happy with this.

 

[BevBHA]

Now reported by two separate ‘tier 1’ sources so a good chance of being true

You don’t think we’ve probably had contacts with Salzburg all summer long? We wouldn’t just wait until Moises is gone that’s not how we operate

 

[Albion Robster]

Looks to be same make & model of Caicedo & Bissouma.
Loves a tackle...not seen tackles in the middle of the park since Richard Carpenter played for us!

I'm a season ticket holder at RB Salzburg. Gourna-Douath is good, but he's no Caicedo. He is now established in the Salzburg team, but he's had less than a year at this level - and the Austrian Bundesliga is nowhere near the intensity of the Premier League. I think Salzburg paid €12 million for him.

Of course.
But if Salzburg have any business acumen at all - we’ve just been paid £111m.
What would you do?

they’re quite different. caicedo defends more like an 8 but LGD is more of a pure 6 i’ve always thought. and in that aspect i’d say he has a higher ceiling. you’re a ST holder so obviously you will have seen more than me, but everything you look for in a good DM, LGD has it.

we ultimately wouldn’t know how he’ll adapt until he’s here. the difference between the two is only around 30 PL games

Depends how much they need the money. If we say “no that is our price” then deal or no deal. Bloom won’t be held to ransom.

Depends if we had anything agreed in principle which triggered on the sale of Moises

Your claims of being a season ticket holder with RB Salzburg immediately lose all credibility as nowhere in your post do you mention he is shitehouse.
