CONFIRMED Souza off!?

[Mojo]

Ref held 5 fingers up to Souza to tell him its was his 5th foul already and shrugged as if to say I have no option but to book you

Yet several of their players were persistently fouling and not even a word

Yes they should also have been booked.
Moore gets kicked & pulled but rarely gets a foul awarded , maybe refs think a very tall player is fair game , but it's very unfair on us.

 

[Keen Blade]

Souza needs to start taking notice of what refs tell him and calm down - he seems to think he can tell refs what to do but that's not how it works.
He's slightly unbalanced mentally but he could be a star for us if he stays.

Tall strikers rarely get given the free kicks.

It's fair to say that he has a red card or two in him this season, if he indeed stays.

I would add however that although it's early days, he does seem to be adjusting to the pace of this division and also seems to be enjoying himself.

It's a weird one, because there are undoubtedly more seasoned championship CMs who we could replace him with, but I also want him to stay and kick on, because I could see him being a bit of a legend in a winning team.

Completely agree with this. He seems to be someone who needs to enjoy playing his football to be any good at it. His mood also seems to be infectious to the momentum of the rest of the team. I suspect he may have been told to rein it in a bit at half time so he didn't get himself a red. That's probably the point we need to bring Peck or someone else in for him instead though. A restrained Vini isn't worth playing.

All of a sudden everyones leaving lol

 

[Large Mendonca]

I'd rather keep Souza over Anel, but wouldn't lose sleep if both went as long as they were replaced.

If Souza leaves I'd 100% look at Ben Sheaf from Cov

[BrisBlade]

I'll be a bit sad if he goes. I would love to see him play a season for us in the Championship. I'm sure we didn't see the best of him last year in a struggling team.

It seems a funny way of going about business. I thought you weren’t supposed to contact a player before you’d agreed a fee with the selling club.
Even if it is ok, I rather doubt that Fenerbahce will offer us the price we’d want. (Especially if we’ve agreed to sell Anel and can resist derisory offers.)
So, all they’ll achieve is unsettling Vini.

EDIT … there you go … we’re asking too much for him, apparently. Entirely predictable.

Club Believe Sheffield United Demanding Too Much Money For Midfielder

Fenerbahce are not interested in matching Sheffield United's financial demands for midfielder Vini Souza in the ongoing window.

I think you can talk to a player with the clubs permission. People were saying previously apparently the way it's done nowadays is like this. Rather than waste time agreeing a few with us if the player has no interest or too high demands.

Thanks…but I bet Fener won’t want to pay much more than £8m…and that’s a waste of time too.

at least Souza seems to care

They implemented this feature in Football Manager, you can ask the agent "is this possible?" and they will come back with what they would expect or tell you not to bother

And this is why I wouldn't sell him unless they overpay. Selling now would be selling low because every club interested can just point at last season in negotiations.

 

[Large Mendonca]

He cares a bit more than Anel anyway.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Get him gone. We can sign someone more suitable and I don't want him standing in Peck's way

 

[ancientblade]

both anel and souza can go for me that would fund 2 permanents and 2 more loans

 

[Ron_Justice]

Got a feeling he's going to be a bit of a cheat code in the Championship, assuming his head is in the fight. Keep for me.

 

[true99blade]

He should’ve been the first out the door after last season. If we get a decent fee then it’s a great bonus. One decent showing against Preston North End shouldn’t misconstrue how he’s performed for us on the whole, with a stinking attitude to boot. Get rid for sure.

He also threw the towel in last Saturday second half!

 

[Pintor75]

I'd take £15m, he's not pulled any trees up here yet, get the money and move on

It hurts me to

But I agree

Did he *uvk throw the towel in his yellow card did him - he should have been
Subbed

 

[TJ blade]

Your opinion pal, not mine.

 

[Rodley]

Would cash in at £15m but we need one hell of a DMC in his place; athletic, good in the tackle and solid on the ball. Is that achievable in a week (?) left of the transfer window?

Highly unlikely mate. Apart from the recruitment of a decent forward to play alongside Moore, further defensive cover, and whatever Wilder feels is necessary, we have a potentially decent side.....it doesn't guarantee anything of course
but the ingredients are mostly there.
