Gone Elsewhere Georges Mikautadze

[Luke1993]

Point being, how many forward players do they need.

Payet and Alexis Sanchez have left so Aubamayang and sarr take there places. Ndiaye would be 1 extra.

If Illi and this Mikautadze bloke are of similar quality it would make long term financial sense to allow Illi to move now and spend the money on GM. as a replacement. We all know if he signs a new contract and stays it would only be at the most for this season and then sell him at whatever the agreed release figure will be and whatever it is, we will be virtually giving him away for sweet FA. If we could get Mikautadze in, (providing we’re interested) he would probably arrive on a min 3 year deal and if he progresses well, his value could be staggering high in a couple of years. I don’t want to lose Illi but at least this would soften the blow.

I’ll never get over how mindless that signing was. It was so obvious the side was creating absolutely nothing. And we spend £20m on an unproven player who relies on chances being created for him. I don’t harbour any ill will towards Brewster because it wasn’t his fault but christ.

We spent all our dosh on the vanity purchase of a keeper (when we could have loaned again) so Wilder could undo a sale he perhaps regretted and a striker when in reality we needed a Left Centre back more than anything and probably a midfielder to get more athleticism in there IMHO.

Not out best bit of recruitment decision-making.

Big IF though isn’t it? We know illiman is quality, this guy we have no idea on realistically.

Imagine if we’d been in this position and the plan was sign promising Liverpool youngster, hot off a successful championship campaign in is Swansea (Brewster). In that scenario you’ve No Ndaiye, and you’ve spend 20m on someone who’s maybe worth 10% of that now .

This isn’t to slag Brewster who’s been really really unlucky - but the element of unknown commodity does make it harder to justify.

We found some cash?

I suspect there's always been more than we've been led to believe. Not sure there's much more, but the quoted £20m always looked suss IMO. Having said that, it's not like anyone actually pays for a player all up front any more, so really, who the fock knows!?

 

[Rocket Man]

Imagine if we were doing all this £20m bollocks to reign in Iliman's agent on the deal then soon as he's signed it we go get this lad and Doyle on big money deals. Betisss

 

[Tezza1889]

Hope so, I've always thought we (the English football team & English players in general) should do exactly what the opposition do, go down at contact and play possession football etc..

They can't do anything while we possess the ball, grealish gets 15 minutes or more ball possession every game, most of it proving costly due to the quality of city's lads at dead balls..

I wasn't joking, he'd be exactly what we need..

This goes wayyyy back to Mcabe and Warnock with the old "undisclosed" when united would sell a player.

We go in for a lad and if the selling club knew we had 50m to spend it wouldn't be 5m for the player we want, it'd be 7 or 8 or 23M if you're daft enough to get dragged into a personal battle to save your pride.

 

[bongleblade]

5 year contract this time united ffs

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I think the only way we bring him in is if someone is going..... I hope I'm wrong.

If Bettis gets illiman, Doyle and this lad we need to rename a stand the “ohhhh Bettis the sneck cave stand” and then all dress as lizards for one game being only allowed to hiss if we score. While eating limited edition mice in blooded rainwater pies.

Blooded rainwater pies? Sounds grim. Shared a house once with a guy who had a python. It got depressed so to cheer it up we had to throw live white mice into his room and wait for nature to take it's course.
