[Albion] Marseille want Adingra

[dazzer6666]

If Mitoma is running with the ball in training and is looking likely to play in Japan, so more than likely to play.
Enciso is fit.
Minteh we’ve spent £30m on, so unlikely to be going anywhere.

With regards the others and loans with respect neither do you….

So the original question stands…

If Mitoma wasn’t able to play we wouldn’t even be going to Japan.

Well exactly, so therefore likely to play at Everton which is my point.

 

[amexer]

Trouble with Adringa is his best position is left side so he can cut in and shoot with right foot. Nowhere as good as Mitoma so if one of new signings is better then him on right he may find himself on bench

 

[Taybha]

How very dare another club apart from Chelsea show interest in our players
Get ready for plenty more blah blah are interested in our players because we've got some bloody well good ones,we are seen as a club willing to sell at the right price no matter who they are, so until we stop letting our best go then the offers will keep rolling in.

The Athletic story which was shared here after ACD’s signing shows Saka was basically the last Arsenal youngster to get meaningful game time at the club. I wouldn’t hold it against ACD.

I’m not holding it against him, at all.

But Arsenal hold higher prestige than us, and can offer much higher wages. The ONLY thing we can offer him, to tempt him to move, are first team minutes.

If Arsenal were especially bothered about keeping him, they’d have promised him, those minutes. But they didn’t feel that they could - even though they play a dozen or more easy games a season, when they could blood any number of squad players (games they were often 3 or 4 goals up in).

Any fee would have to be close to or in excess of Marseille's record fee paid (in the 30M Euro range). Ligue 1 still doesn't have a TV deal for next season, so you would think a bit of financial caution would be the order of the day.

Fair point, but Arsenal did offer him a new contract. (Athletic article), quite possibly game time is the key in this.

Which would still be more than £5m less than we paid for Minteh!! It was reported today that Marseille offered Wolves £21m for Hwang (and were told no way). Sounds like they are shopping in the wrong place for their budget.

 

[Weststander]

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

I wondered if it was getting the stages of grief angry phase in silly early. “I didn't rate him anyway” type stuff.

As the article points out, those opportunities to blood squad players young and old (think Smith Rowe) weren’t really taken last season. It states that ACD was indeed offered a loan, at the start of 2024; but this was conditional on him signing a new contract, which he opted against, probably because he was tired of waiting for his chance. So yes, it’s the promise of minutes that would have swayed him into signing for us but that could mean an initial loan then time with the first team.

If we’re talking past each other, disregard!

I am also expecting Mitoma to depart before the start of the season or definitely by the January window. It's sad to lose these fantastic players but Mr Bloom has taken us so far so can we really debate on his transfer policy and how the club is run.

Arsenal’s pathway for kids is known to be a bit crap…..no wonder talented youngsters are leaving

Why is that?

Kroenke/Edu/Arteta obsessed with spending £200m per summer in trying to usurp Abu Dhabi? Only interested in expensive proven players?

 

[drew]

Not strictly true as the move has to be good for both the player, the club and timing right. Barber has often said this.

True but they wouldn't be talking to Adingra if they hadn't already sounded out his agent, surely?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I think Adingra is a very good, young player and I'd be gutted to see him go.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Vaffanculo, Roberto.

[Pliny the Gull]

This model of potential wonder youngsters coming in. Adringas, Fergusons, Mitomas possibly out for £££ etc is stressing me out before we yet kicked off 2024/25.
Love Adringa though, gets the ball straight in the box from the wing every time with no checks, shimmes, or tap backs.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Although he can’t have been that sacked seeing as OM had to pay a few million compo, didn’t they?

It was a joke about the thread that says RDZ wasn’t sacked and has been hanging around like a bad smell for weeks

 

[Justice]

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.

He was also our second top goal scorer in his first PL season.
People wet the bed when March scored one more than Adingra after how many seasons in the PL? Why people seem happy to bin off a proven goal scoring winger for unproven wingers is a bit of a head scratcher.

I agree - not sure how Marseille could afford Adingra given they're not in Europe, there's no TV deal in France and they don't pay big fees at the best of times. Makes me wonder if they're trying to get him on loan (possibly with future fee option).
