[Albion] Mohammed Kudus **Signed For West Ham 27/08**

[SIMMO SAYS]

No point in signing someone who doesn't want to be here

Dortmund a good move for him you'd imagine.

 

[trueblue]

Dortmund bound. Tosser.

Wanting to join a club is not the same as them bidding for you and talking terms. Could hardly blame the bloke for preferring a potential title challenge in Germany and Champions League football in a ground that holds 80,000+.

Maybe this has been the real sticking point. Sounds like BD have looked at him in the past so he's perhaps holding on the hope that a bid will come in before committing to a smaller club (which we are, in reality). You do wonder though whether we'll lose interest. It's one thing having players whose heads are turned after they arrive but ones looking for a way out before they've even unpacked might not be ideal.

Indeed. I also want to play for Dortmund. Unlikely they will bid €40 million for me, and if they don't, then I won't be going there unfortunately.

This Dortmund story sounds desperate.

Really doesnt sound like he wants to come to us though.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

What is it about us and getting gazumped by teams that play in yellow.

Are we going to miss out on someone to Watford next?

Or maybe Everton will come in with the dream move again.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

He's had his chance. Walk away.

 

[The Fits]

Dortmund been long time linked. Was suggested as the Bellingham replacement before they signed Nmecha.

 

[dwayne]

Chelsea short in this position now.... I'm really surprised they haven't followed up after the initial whispers. Or was that just to f us off?

Seems strange Ornstein tweeted story and not backed it up since, then a tweet from Holland mentioning Kudus has 48hrs to agree with us and then another tweet last night. Dortmund was never mentioned till this morning. Why would Dortmund if wanted him b4 Sunday and Ajax let him play in their game? I'm sure some one can tell me I'm barking up the wrong tree...I normally am!

 

[Hiheidi]

Well the clock is ticking because Ajax gave him 48 hours, 24 hours ago!

I think because there’s no suggestion Dortmund are trying to sign him. Just that he’s hoping they will. Like 99.9% of all these stories, nothing of substance has happened since the last clickbait update.

 

[Questions]

Have you got an agent ? If not PM me.

 

[JBizzle]

Why is there no byline?

Why wouldn't the journalist want his/her name credited to an exclusive?

Because it's made up.

"Dude, I was hoping to go to Dortmund rather than Brighton. Can you leak a story with no mention of a source that I'd fancy a move there?"

 

[Mancgull]

Best we know now that he doesn’t fancy it here. Would have been better a month ago.
Let’s hope we have a decent back up. Ideally someone that has experience and capability at DM.

To be fair I don’t want to be on the job I’m on today although I will suffer it for the money

Brighton are understood to have reached an agreement over a fee with Ajax for midfielder Mohammed Kudus.

However, there is no agreement yet between Brighton and the Ghana midfielder over personal terms.

Kudus has attracted a lot of interest this summer, with both Chelsea and Arsenal keen on the highly-rated 23-year-old.

It will be interesting to see if Brighton can get to a figure that Kudus feels is acceptable.

From the ever-reliable Simon Stone of the BBC

I'm reading that as he wants to join but is expecting a much higher wage than we've tabled so far. It's a surprise as clubs don't usually have any problem agreeing personal terms before doing a deal. #HoldTheNerve
