Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[VILLA MOLE]

£42m for Odegaard would be a pretty big statement of ambition. It's what Arsenal are being quoted.

go £45m for him.......almost just to piss the Gunners off again




 


was he any good for them ?

[richtheholtender]

Remind me again if FFP is finished why we can't flex our muscle?

[danno]

I've only seen him play against us, but would the lust for him be so strong if it wasn't for the free kicks against us? Obviously the free kicks are important, and would be an asset, but we have a middling midfielder who knows his way around a free kick and we seem to be rushing him out of the door.

Then again, I've not really been paying attention o JWP or Southampton.

The free kicks thing is a bit of misnomer to be honest. It's probably the only thing they have in common. In 19/20 nobody covered more ground than JWP. He averaged 11.6km per game. He's one of the fittest players in the league.

Once he got going he had an ability to play a cute pass that the opposition were not expecting in a similar way to he who shall not be named. Thought he looked a quality player.

FFP is currently still in play although UEFA are currently 'reviewing' it (whatever that will entail). That's for European competition. There's also FFP in place for the Premier League. City beat UEFA's punishment by successfully appealing to CAS. But the Premier League investigation is still ongoing and I suspect that the Premier League members will be keen to make sure Man City are punished if there is anything dodgy. Man City were trying to delay the release of records/ information requested by the Premier League as part of their investigation but lost this in court recently (July).

Fair enough.

I think Mings is way fitter though.

This is true. And it’s not just direct free-kicks he’s brilliant at. Those diagonal ones from further out, he always gets to drop in that ‘corridor of uncertainty’, and his corners are fucking mint as well. He’s probably the best in the world across all the set-piece disciplines.

And a fantastic player and leader too.

OK I’ll buy him where do I sign? Have you ever thought of becoming an agent?

I fully endorse these comments. I'm also sure if we are interested in him it's not because he banged in a couple of free kicks against us, it's because they've identified his considerable skill sets will improve many areas of our team and he comes with zero baggage. He looks to me like as sure an investment we could make, and I think he'd thrive in the environment.

Add me to the list of admirers. I’m wondering if he’s the reason we haven’t announced a club captain yet.

[KRS]

If we signed him, would he walk straight into the team as Captain? If Mings doesn’t fancy the mantle, then the only other player that springs to mind is SJM but I he’s more of club jester than captain material.

Wouldn’t happen for many. And agree it could be a challenge. But if it clinched the deal…

[OCD]

It's asking a bit to join a new club and instantly give them the captaincy. I would imagine Mings will take the arm band. His comment about having the whole nation question his place in the England team has been extrapolated to a much broader level.

If Mings didn’t want it, Konsa would make a good captain.
