[Albion] Ferdi Kadioglu **Singed 27/08/24**

[pigmanovich]

Would be an excellent signing if we can find a deal. First choice left/win back until Pervis is back up and running and then option to become first choice on the right.

Has gone a little quiet though...

Shirley we would play Kadioglu on the right and have Barco fill in for Pervis as LWB until he's fit again?

Yeah that's clearly an option. All the time Lamptey is still with us I see the club believing he is getting closer to his old self though, even if he never will quite get there. Him and Hinsh are currently the options there. Veltman right sided CB now?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Barco used in midfield as well for added creativity. I think we'll be quite flexible.

Lots of options all over the pitch, increasingly so!

But yes, I see Veltman as a RCB, and while Jack did quite well as a RB/RWB last season, we might want to test him as a CM. I'm certain he would still get plenty of game time even if we signed Kadioglu. If retained, Lamptey would, too, though I'd prefer we offload him what with him having only a year left on his contract.

As for Barco, I agree that he could do a job in midfield, but I feel that if played out of position, he'd sooner be deployed as a LM/LW than a CM -- not sure if that's what you had in mind.

Good plan, but isn’t Barco due to miss the start of the season because he’ll be at the Olympics?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe he's either been blocked from playing by us or not called up?

 

[spence]

No chance of this happening according to Turks here. He is a 40 million pound player who is being looked at by bigger clubs. Was fun though being linked to him.

He’s not in the Argentina squad for the Olympic Games.

We're a bit stacked at CM so think it'll be difficult for Jack to get much time there. His progression has been so quick I wouldn't rule it out though!

Agree re. Lamptey. It's really unfortunate but I don't see him being consistently good enough now.

Barco played CM a few times for Boca and natural drifts into that position anyway at times. Just see that as potential progression and an option.

No idea how reliable the source is

If true, presumably we offered, say, about £5m in add-ons? No sense in just matching Manure's bid.

Would likely be differentiated with an improved payment schedule of the fee and a sell on.

Thanks, hence my use of isn’t and ?
I was just him going on what others had mentioned on here

 

[brighton_tom]

Can’t see us paying £45m for a full back. That’s big money for almost any club for that position of player.

The guy can literally play any position except goalie.

 

[prawnsarnies]

No way anything in that X post.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Had heard the Arsenal youngster was the new Saka, and Saka was very much a wingback (one of the most attacking roles in football) when he started out.

Agreed - I’d be surprised if we offer more than £35mil. But it’s not big money for some other clubs, Man U for example would pay that.

IF the tweet is true (big if) then I reckon B&B will move onto next target

Except Chelsea buying ours for £65m!

That's Chelsea, they have been way over paying for players recently. City didnt want to go above £40/45m for Cucurella. If City are tapping out at that price range for a full back then so are we.

 

[Super Sub]

I do wonder whether the club will go all in for this guy. He is clearly an excellent player and can play pretty much anywhere.

£45M is one hell of a some of money but if he is that good, and we got 2 great seasons out of him, would we not at least recoup our money when one of the big boys decides they want him.

Could all be bs of course but id love to see this guy on the books
