[Albion] Marseille want Adingra

[Coldeanseagull]

I would be pretty angry if we sold him for less than £50m in the current market.

If a french team forked out £50m on a player from an English team, I'm sure their farmers would go on strike!....not that it takes much for the militants to overreact that side of the channel

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

He’s only 22, yet has already showed plenty of quality and composure at the highest level. Under quality coaching it can only be upward trajectory.

Obvious opportunity for somebody to take a shot at RDZ there.

 

[Mackenzie]

Well I guess our model relies on selling players, and at least it's not to Chelsea.

 

[junior]

If the price offered matches the clubs valuation, he'll be sold. That's the model.

Something weird going on here though - I dare say if Chelsea were in for him this thread would look very different.

 

[GrossTurn]

People forget the effect that the AFCON tournament had on him, plus Europe. Yes, he tired in the second half of the season but 24/25 will be less taxing and he is settled here too.

I think he is essential to us and given what we paid for Minteh I wouldn' be selling for anything less than 40 million Euros

This is a key point that no-one else seems to have mentioned. Adingra, for any perceived faults, did at least play a fair amount of football for us in his first season (and showed plenty of promise).

Why on earth would you risk yet more uncertainty by selling him on for a profit we don’t need just because we have a number of other wingers in the squad - the rest of whom are either recovering/easing back from lengthy injuries, or brand new to the league and totally unproven?

EDIT: I can see some sense finally hit the thread from about post #68 onwards, phew.

I think Adingra would have have to be actively pushing for it.

Chelsea are more interested in Mitoma apparently

 

[chaileyjem]

The source for this is not exactly copper bottomed.
And even then it’s along the lines of a pretty vague “Marseille are interested”
Even if both these things are true and even if they actually bid and even if Albion are open to sell - do you think Marseille could actually cough up what we’d be asking for ?

I wouldn’t get too carried away with this one.

The title would need changing for a start.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

So would you sell a player with a year in the PL under his belt and likely to get better on the basis new signings are going to hit the ground running and 30 year old March is going to be showing no ill effects from a career threatening injury?

I don’t think Adingra will improve much more, and he is not great defensively, which you need at this level.
He was going backwards towards the end largely because as @Justice highlighted he was overplayed.
When all were fit, I feel he would be a distant third choice, the fact Solly won’t be, I would consider Enciso over him or possibly Minteh.

So in answer to your question, yes I would.

 

[chaileyjem]

On the other hand we do have a lot of wingers !

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

All are not fit for Everton away, so it’s an entirely moot point.

Mitoma will be, Enciso is and I’ve no reason to think the new signings won’t be, so just not Solly. (Unless I’ve missed something).

Not that moot…

 

[WATFORD zero]

If the price offered matches the clubs valuation, he'll be sold. That's the model.

And if kids on social media get over excited and totally ignored, that's the model too

 

[spongy]

Some chance they could get Adingra, no chance they could get Mitoma. Simple.

If Adingra is sold, its because Bloom & co don't think he's going to be good enough to challenge the other wingers.

Bloom and Barber don't look at the player, they look at the numbers. It's up to the recruitment and coaching side to decide whether they want to let him go or keep him and then they will put a number on it is my understanding. Happy to be corrected though

 

[zefarelly]

I think Adingra fits into that category of occasionally being brilliant but a lot of the time being quite ineffectual and goes missing in games.

File alongside . . .

Steve Penney
Anthony Knockhaert
Solly March
Peter O'Sullivan
etc

Wingers are the best.

Anyway, Simone is worth double anything anyone thinks Mitoma may be worth. . . .both on pitch, future and importantly ( as football is secondary to business) commercially . . . Japan is a big market, but its not emerging . . .

 

[ManOfSussex]

In other news I want Beyonce and that ain't going to happen either. So bad luck all round really.

Spot on

Sun reporting Adingra interest:

De Zerbi rates the winger highly and is keen on a reunion at the Velodrome this summer. SunSport understand that Marseille have also held talks with the Ivory Coast international's camp.

My feelings too.

Honestly, with both Minteh and ACD good enough to walk straight into the first team and Buonanotte who can still cover, March hopefully still on track to coming back even Peupion on the bench, I think we are good.

Adingra is a great player with potential but I had him pegged as probably going out on loan when we signed Minteh. His performance dropped off last season and his decision making wasn’t brilliant imo.

Buonanotte isn’t much cop at all out wide. Adingra is currently our best (fit and proven) wide right option by miles. De Zerbi can go fuxk himself.
