Confirmed Signing Yerry Mina

[VentureBrosEFC]

Why does it really matter if he's here tomorrow or a minute before the window closes? We're buying him for the next five years not the next preseason game and the first couple of league games.

If we truly have no shot Brands will have other irons in the fire.

This situation stinks of Witsel and Giroud. Being strung along all summer only to be knocked back. We cannot be left with no addition at CB, surely a man like Brands will have other options. We need an answer very very soon.

No point of waiting for him as clearly he sees us as the last resort. Brands should understand this...

its like the giroud deal from last season

I bought a Giroud French Jersey because of the rumors last year while in Paris on honeymoon... No regrets as I like him

 

[billyblue80]

So he can work with the team. I agree I just feel we should have options if he isn't coming. Ideally we sign one this week and this guy next week if he agrees. What we can't do is not add at CB we will struggle big time defensively in my view.

To me it is the fact that he doesn't sound like he wants to be here... Don't really want a player who doesn't want to wear our badge

I’m not sure Olivier Giroud’s mrs is going to pull the plug on this move myself.

Our Central defense right now is a joke... They get torn apart and I don't understand why Holgate hasn't played... For God sakes he has zlatan in his pocket a couple years ago. He can develop into something really good

Show me where he personally has said anything.

 

[billyblue80]

He's a young lad from South America he won't even recognise us as a big club sad but true. Where as United his eyes will light up. I think he's waiting for a better offer if one doesn't come in he might come. Can we take the risk of waiting on him?I hope all our eggs aren't in this basket.

Well his agent has said some things I think. And the Lyon boss man said some stuff too.

The player not a peep. Probs enjoying his hols still.

I can't pull up anything at the moment but I have seen tweets or articles about him wanting to be at United or Lyon... I don't want to be a consolation prize

 

[ProZ]

Lads I know this hasn’t been said before and I’m just spitballing but do you think we should abandon this deal and move on?

Just thinking outside the box you see lads.

All our eggs in one basket is Evertons style... Hence the Giroud situation last summer

I know we all hate agents but it's their job to talk up their clients let alone their nephews. Their job is to get them the best available deal at the best available club.

I think so. Window isn't open for much longer... Got to move on and find others imo
