At drastically reduced wages which is why they didn’t stay and we knew they wouldn’t
I’d have kept Doucoure on if he halved his wage which is about what he was worth but he was never actually going to
His name's popped up a few times in here now from different peeps. Good player, would sell a LOT of shirts and in Japan and maybe give us a bit of a fanbase over there.
Not a priority of course but a bonus for sure.
I went to San Sebastián in April and went to watch Sociedad.
They lost 2-0 and were awful on the day but I remember thinking Kubo looked very good, quick, tricky and worked hard.
San Sebastián is fantastic by the way and well worth a visit.
Feeling a lot better knowing that he’s going to be in the midfield next season and then we don’t immediately have to also get a replacement in this summer (along with all the other priorities we have)
That kind of brutal logic will hold no water round these parts mate.
Bored of the copium being passed around at the min.
Bottom line is everyone knows Keane is mince and should have been hoofed once his contract expired.
Not that I reckon there’s any substance in the Gallagher shouts, but I’ve always thought he’s the player Tom Davies looked like he was going to be when he first broke through.
Yeah I've seen worse fees than that TBH, whether or not it's something we would or could do is a different story. But we're playing 30m for a fairly unproven attacker, and paid 30m for Onana who was equally unproven really. Something about 40m...
