banduan I said odegaard would have just recycled the ball with the back four and NOT driven with it from a deep position. read the posts back

It was reported he was "set for a medical" a week ago, hearing now he's still "set for a medical" except apparently he's at the beach at San Sebastián on Instagram.

None of which matters as it seems the deal's locked down. However one annoying detail doing the rounds is that La Real have insisted on lodging the transfer in July for accounting purposes, so maybe this will drag on another month before it's official.

JazzG

Burnwinter I wonder if the club will have secured some kind of agreement which is signed just to make sure we don't get shafted.

JazzG this is as simple as putting an effective date on the transaction pending conditions to be met by the player - ie he can pass a medical

Burnwinter

Not going to jinx anything I'm just a bit annoyed if the announcement got delayed for a month.

Claudius

Burnwinter the logic might make sense if we both benefit from logging the transaction next year.

JazzG

Burnwinter This has been a really hard transfer to get over the line so if we have to wait a month that isn't the end of the world. Just as long as he is there for preseason and properly trains with us.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Our marquee transfers are so fucking boring because they take 5 years to announce.

JazzG

There is gonna be a generational meltdown if this collapses….

JazzG deleted tweet?

JazzG

QuincyAbeyie Not sure why that has been deleted, maybe the source is dodgy? Basically same as the tweet below

[edit]

This is why he deleted it

One thing is clear, this Zubimendi fella is not the sort of guy we should be pinning our hopes on. Liverpool were convinced he was going to sign for them only for him to change his mind later. De Jong could still leave Barca this summer and I hope we are closely following his contract talks.

Imagine losing both Jorginho and Partey and not finding any suitable replacement for them.....

I take it you mean Kamara, yeah I'd bring him in. Only doubt I have about him is all the top clubs are aware of him but none has attempted to sign. There's probably something he lacks to play at the top level that only a scout can spot. To me he looks very good, he's a technician that passes the ball very well and he's quite smart without the ball.

Tactics find it hard to believe the assertion that there are certain attributes of players that "only a scout can spot". They have two eyes and a brain, and bias. Same as you and I. Only thing they possibly do more is watch specific players in person. But with today's every touch / action compilations and with the amount of data available about most players, they are unlikely to gain a lot more insight than the dedicated fan.

Anyone else got a funny feeling that the Zubimendi 'deal' (if there ever was one) is about to fall through? 😃

SimplyThePest it would be so us if it was to happen

Asterix
