Transfer Rumour Keane Lewis-Potter

[dutchblue54]

not too bothered to be honest. Yes probably a great talent, but not one we can expect to be a key player next season. Similar to Richarlison when he joined/Gordon last season: you can have great talent but you need a few years to really become a key performer in the Premier League.

 

[Goat]

Spurs taking our best player, Brentford beating us to signings.

We went down last season.

In spirit at least.

Going Brentford

At this point Brentford are reported as registering a bid of £16m doesn’t mean he’s going there.
There’s plenty of time for us to follow up our interest if it’s genuine ( which I hope it is).

Did not take Bowen a few years.

Just delayed the inevitable I fear.

Well said. I don't think we're in the position as a club to take the risk on KLP or likewise players because of the season we've just endured. We need a proven player in the position KLP plays in, and like you've said, it generally takes a few years to become a key performer in the Premier League. Some folk will dress this up as us "missing out" to Brentford and I don't think that's a fair assessment.

True. When Richy goes we will up our 2.5 mill up front to 5 mill.

 

[Kantareller]

1 minute in: some god awful goalkeeping.

Could've sworn Jack Butland is in goal for every clip

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

I know we mocked that reported approach, but it doesn’t seem that unusual to to offer a small amount up front followed by further payments rising to a more substantial amount on completion.
Given our situation spreading payments for a promising but still young championship player seems common sense.
In negotiations for players it is surely good practice to go in low on your first offer?
After all we complain when we seemingly overpay so it seems slightly churlish to complain that our opening offer is too low.
If he ends up at Brentford perhaps he isn’t as good as we all think?

It does seem that way if we can't improve the squad this offseason.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

If we are genuinely interested I reckon we’ll go in with another bid.

To be honest why would Moshiri be interested in buying players if he wants to sell up ? More like the opposite...

Evertons money is not Moshiris money.

I hope Moshiri isn’t interested in buying players to be honest.
Let’s hope he delegates it to the appropriate people in the business he currently owns.

 

[Zatara]

Ideal player for us to replace Richarlison with.
