flobaba with the US hosting the World Cup he could become a household name over there too. Perfect opportunity for someone who wants to be a big star.

Good that quite a few teams want him. We should ask for a big fee.

Claudius

flobaba he also has to weigh up regular trips across the ocean to play Honduras and Jamaica. CONCACAF is not a serious federation. If I were him, I’d definitely take my time over the decision

HomeSteak

He really left Arsenal man to be a CM somewhere, only to end up back-up right back at almost relegated Sotton...and with no contract offer in almost may. I don't know if it was him or his agent who made that call, but boy did he fuck up

There are enough fucks to go around with how the whole situation unfolded. Could have gotten 20m for him.

I think it was £15m that Wolves offered. I think the clubs been a little unlucky, but ultimately I don't think a player who's never established himself as a serious contender to be a first XI player should be here at the age of 26. A lesson we should learn with Eddie. If we can't get 25m for him so be it, but even 15-20m is better than nothing.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Ridiculous situation on both his and the club's parts.

Was 20m as reported by Romano and many others but tbf at that time the majority here said it was too little and no way should he go for that kind of money.

Same thing we thought 20m was a good deal for Willock but Newcastle fans think its the bargain of the century now. Hard to predict how it will go

goon

£20m was what we wanted apparently, what they actually offered and rejected at the time was £15m.

But I think we may have moved the goalposts later on after he got an England cap so maybe that's why a second bid never materialised, so you could be right.

I was one of the few on here (I think along with Kel?) that wanted to sell him for £20m, but thought £15m was too low.

but everyone who didn't want to accept the bid didn't because they wanted to use him. The actual outcome, rejecting the bid and not using him, was the one option nobody would've chosen.

Don Pacifico

I mean we played our own part on this one - my recollection was that Mikel rejected this on the basis that we wanted AMN to stay but then never used him.

This is right Quincy.
I think Edu will have to be judged on the sum of his transfer actions versus individual deals. Everybody has a few stinkers.

I feel that deals done within this season and next season will be the best indicator of how much value he adds. For the previous seasons we were in basically a “big bath” mode, using a crisis to clear no -performing assets, and refreshing the squad. Now that the big financial crisis is over, we need to show peak performance in trading. Sell some excess (Nketiah or Balo, Tierney, Lokonga etc) and buy some new stars.

He was dropping dime after dime in their game against WBA. Looks like he's earning the team's trust already to dictate and I'm really excited about following his season.

Nice article on KT. Hope he can revitalise his career at Sociedad

HomeSteak

Patino with his 3rd assist already

Qwiss

Thats a lovely pass. Kids still only 19, could still make it here.

Panda

Lokonga injured already. We never gonna sell these guys for good money.

Don Pacifico

Such a shame for him. Hope he recovers soon.
