Yeah, just on SSN. Wonder why the delay announcing?

I reckon it’s to let us know they haven’t been naïve about signing defenders and there is a plan

[LeeB]

I feel this young Turkish will just be another cattle and a just brought up to be sold for profit

Time is on his side, but he needs to not let them put him down or push him around.

[Smithy]

Won't get too excited about him til he gets a run in the first team if that ever happens. We sell our kids wily-nilly these days. The signing of Ned just seems pointless, give up on him after a handful of cameos. I assume that's part of the future now.

If won't seem pointless if Leipzig sign him for £15m at the end of the season.  We've taken a punt on a young player, it hasn't worked out (yet, there's still time), but if he does go permanently, we'll make a few million in profit that can go into the coffers for the next transfer window.  If the numbers are correct, the profit we will make on him would be a year of someone's wages at £100k a week.

I think we all have to come to terms with the fact that in the modern game, and the FFP/PSR as it is, we're going to be buying young players knowing the chances of them becoming first team players is pretty slim, but who we think we can turn a profit on over the space of a year or two.

I agree. Don’t let them ever change your point of view.

There's nothing wrong with selling cattle on for profit.

[Drummond]

He's signed on a pre-contract agreement rather than a buy and loan back arrangement. So he's committed to us from the summer and suggests he's not just being bought and sold.

We'll see whether he gets branded or not.

[OCD]

If the worst case scenario is to make an £8m profit (nearly £10m when taking amortisation into account) on him, then it's not a bad policy to buy promising young players who you hope are good enough to make the first team squad. Even if you ultimately determine that they're not. 

[dcdavecollett]

All transfers are in the 'will he, won't he?' category. Unless you're signing Messi... Or Morgan Rogers, of course.

[PaulWinch again]

Welcome Yasin. Hopefully you match the potential talent of our last Turkish centre-half but have a bit of a better mentality and attitude.

[IFWaters]

I understand that we might have to be creative to get round the closed shop stitchup ahem I mean PSR. I just don't want us to become like Chelsea whoring out young talent with no intention of ever giving them a proper chance in the first team.

Let’s face it, it’s not Monchi’s first rodeo.

[UK Redsox]

What's the likelihood of this bloke being part of the plans next season ?

Surprised FV didn't get slaughtered for this.

[Chip Butty 111]

Will probably end up being farmed out to Red Bull Salzburg....

[Brazilian Villain]

Confirmed, it's signed and sealed. https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1940085582698369198
