Tijjani Reijnders

Can't see this getting done for less than 65M

Last day of the window at 75 mill.

 

[blueparrot]

Fuck em they might not get any European football. £55M will set them up nicely

Yes, I thought they were looking for €65 mill so £55 mil is in that ball park.

DOF has a job to do, so does there's. The dance has started.

We’re the 2nd most in form team in the league behind Villa in the last 6 games.

We're the 4th most in form team in the league in the last 36 games ; )

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Tonali was €70m. We won't be getting this guy for less than that

 

[ninjamonkey]

I do like him but im not convinced this is the right move. I know many on here are convinced we are going to be shipping out half the squad this summer but i just dont see that happening.

i think both gundo and bernardo have 1 more year here and see out there contracts, kovacic has been our 2nd best player so don't expect him to go, rodri is hopefully back and as good as ever and we've got Nico who is going to be expected to make an impact next season and we're told he can play both 6 and 8. Then you've got the likes of Rico and o'reilly who are and want to be midfielders. Thats a lot of options already, with rodri back, nico settling and O'Reille's emergence that's 3 more options than we've had for most of this season before any additions.

I can get behind the idea of bringing somebody in now and giving them the customary 12 months to settle and then they're stepping into the shoes of the departing bernardo/gundo next summer but he's going to be 27 before next season starts, 28 by the time bernardo and gundo are gone if they see out their contracts. Think we need to be looking in a younger age bracket for this role.

 

[pudge]

On a scale of 1-10 how good a signing would this be?

Given the midfielders we've brought in recently, Reijnders is a clear 20 out of 10.

 

[KingGeorge]

I think 9

I just think you're far far far discounting what an impactful player he can be. I think Reijnders walks into our current lineup, and we shouldn't be committed to minutes for Gundo, kova, or really Bernardo anymore.

I think he is, in current form, a better player and a better fit for our current roster than any of the 3

 

[Ajm1985]

Bids going in, in May? Madness.. lets have it. :)

Good ol CWC window. Should speed up the process

 

[YatesA]

Well they can take £50M then haha

 

[pbueno16]

I'd agree normally but AC Milan are skint and Reijnders seems desperate to come I think we can put some pressure on and lowball them, they can have captain dirty dick in part ex

I'm all in for lowballing to see if they'll bite, but only if we back up our intentions by following up with a bid that'll get it done. It gets real annoying when we're haggling over 5-10M which is relatively inconsequential in the big picture.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Can we play this every year then?

 

[handsofstone]

Can't say I've seen much of him but I like what I've heard and he seems like he has the energy and skill that we desperately lack

Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch

For the first time under Pep, our midfield doesn't hold a candle to the Dippers and truthfully we are far off them

 

[Manc in London]

I think 9

Defensively, he is a 2

Put Rodri in our midfield and we at least match them with any other two midfielders

cant really argue with the backup 3 man midfield possibly being Nico G, MGW, Foden if the targets all come in. Will be absurd work if they pull this off.

 

[simon23]

pep is stubborn at times, the answer is right in front of him

grealish 8
foden 10

Grealish is finished at the club....he isnt a serious footballer.

 

[simon23]

Not true

rodri is the best in the world but the drop off in our other midfielders this year cant be corrected by his presence alone.
