Well, if they are not in the mood to sell it would be Levy & co's task to put them in the mood
Yeah, he's not really what I'd prioritise for us, we have a lot of mid-level attackers. Badly need a wing player who's carrying, creation and threat defines our attack. But he does seem to be really good at finding dangerous positions and striking cleanly towards the goal. Reminds me of Jota a bit.
Always find it's hard to judge an isolated season (or in this case, half a season). Different circumstances, new coach, new environment. Like you say, Ajax were a mess. He only started two games for them in 5 months!
Much easier to just judge a player on things he is good at and if those are things teams are missing as opposed to environment.
Salah at Chelsea is an example. Clearly just didn't fit in there. If we had signed him off the back of his Fiorentina season, people would probably be questioning why we would be interested. Just one of those things. No one could forsee Salah ending up as one of the leagues greatest ever players.
There's also plenty of one season wonders out there too.
Not say to Mikataudze is someone we should be looking at but I was seriously impressed with his performance against Turkey from his work rate, technique, movement (but also, can never judge on a tournament either)
Will be interesting to see how he goes today.
Trix on SC claiming the above.
Always funny when they start building details onto the blag. I wonder how far they will go with it and what excuse they will use to get out of it?
His name is Ticks!!! FFS why would anyone believe him.
Ticks and pricks
Quality on fm too
All of turkey's midfield. Would offer something different. Especially like the guy from benfica, a proper playmaker.
One of 3 or 4 teams who are doing business before 30 June ffp deadline - but the deals are essentially 'swap deals' with artificially high fees to ensure clubs make large profits for ffp purposes when they sell and fees on purchases are spread over 5 years.
Footballwise probably no advantage to deals, ffp wise they hope it saves their skin
Wonder what other deals those clubs will make with each other?
If Chelsea or Villa need a result later in the season and happen to be playing each other or they need a specific result from a game the other is playing in? Murky waters ahead.
I’m betting it’s basically done but we’ll have to wait till after Euros.
They're both good, useful, PL-proven, unsexy, pre-googled, English-taxed, 'can't really argue' types.
I'm not fussed either way. But I'd like a "holy shit, did we really just sign [berbatov/modric/etc]" moment.

No point paying the release clause if he wants to stay at home.
He just hasn’t had a call with Ange yet. One “maaaaaate” and he’ll be a Spur.

Ange must have lost his phone based on the amount of transfer activity we have been up to.
Good player, but would be a huge waste of funds.
£70m on a guy who can't play in midfield with Maddison, and is behind Son on the left. When we desperately need starters at ST and RW, not to mention additions at #6, fullback and CB.
Terrible squad planning if this goes ahead, unless we've found some external investment and Levy is finally opening the chequebook in multiple areas (huge doubt).
I wouldn't worry too much, he will probably end up at Woolwich.
