What you on about? We’ve spent on a million (or thereabouts) on a single player. What more do you want?

I gather your reply there was a bit of sarcasm .
Hecki already said we have to be cute the way we spend the money.
So 10 million or so on one player just ain't going to happen,unless things change dramatically.

Why would he choose a relegation candidate over a champions league club?

What like Anel and all the lads Forest signed ?

What UCL side were we battling for Anel?

So if we follow your argument no team not in the champions league would ever be able to sign a player that a German club thats in the champions league is interested in ? Even if they are in the Premier league ?

I wasn’t making an argument I was asking a genuine question

This lad has a very similar profile in terms of age and value.

He seemed to have fallen out with his club.

Wonder if this would be a viable alternative.

Seem to remember briefly his mentioned once before in passing.

Is this dead in the water then?
Imagine being 4 for 4 with those named signings by the time we go to Portugal.
Have Berlin coughed up the money as yet?

Apparently yes, Darren Smith says that this was the LCB target (out of the 4 he mentioned) we missed out on, with Slimane, Traore and Lacouri being the other 3.

Kész átverés! Szalai Attila a Kicker szerint nem igazol az Union Berlinbe

Nemrég a török sajtóban és arra hivatkozva itthon is kész tényként kezelték, hogy Szalai Attila elhagyja a Fenerbahce csapatát, s 14 millió euróért az Union Berlin játékosa lehet. Hiába vártuk azonban az erről szóló bejelentést, ami csak nem akart megszületni, most pedig a német Kicker arról...

Interesting. So if he really was a target, he's still available. Expensive though, sounds unlikely unless we're investing most of our money there.

Anyone able to add a translation? I can't get it to work. Thanks.

By all accounts it was another loan with a view to permanent wasn't it?

I’ve never seen a more Hungarian looking Hungarian bloke.

 

[T-Blade]

Don’t know how true that article is but if it has fallen through we will be all over it. He was all set to come before they came in. I was under the impression it was a done deal to Union Berlin though but guess we will see.

Recently, it was treated as a fact in the Turkish press and also at home that Attila Szalai is leaving the Fenerbahce team and can be a player of Union Berlin for 14 million euros. However, we waited in vain for the announcement about this, which just didn't want to happen, and now the German Kicker wrote about the fact that the German club entering the Champions League will not sign Szalai after all.
Just over a week ago, the news that Fenerbahce and Union Berlin had agreed on the purchase of Attila Szalai, the defender of the Hungarian national team will sign a contract with the Bundesliga in the summer for 14 million euros. It was strange that Szalai then played for Fenerbahce in a warm-up match, because it is not customary to jeopardize an imminent deal with a possible injury, it is not in the interest of anyone involved.

Apparently, the concerns were not unfounded, as according to the German Kicker, which seems reliable, Union Berlin will not sign Szalai after all. This was already indicated by the fact that after the German team played a warm-up match in Zalaegerszeg (and lost 3-2), the team's head coach, Urs Fischer, declared that he did not know Szalai. And it would be quite surprising if they strengthened the team without the head coach's knowledge.

In any case, Union's injured Hungarian midfielder András Schäfer also stated that he did not know about the arrival of his teammate. Even so, the news about the transfer persisted in Turkey in recent days, some sources also believed that Szalai would sign in Berlin until 2027.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there was indeed a negotiation between the Union and Fenerbahce regarding Szalai, but according to the signs, if there was, the parties could not come to an agreement. However, according to the news, it is far from certain that Szalai will stay in Istanbul, Hoffenheim and Freiburg are said to be interested in him.

In the meantime, one involuntarily thinks about how many teams Szalai has been discussed with in the past two years. Chelsea, Napoli, Liverpool and Newcastle United also wanted him, really only without a complete demand. However, the 25-year-old, 35-times international defender is still a player of Fenerbahce, with whom his current contract binds him until 2025

Unlike T-Blade I haven't heard anything about us being after the Hungarian. Has El-Accounto confirmed this was the LCB?

Who was the player that "played for the same club as one of our other targets"? (El-accounto).

I've had no info on the LCB but always presumed it was Lund. Fingers crossed it is the Hungarian though. He looks ideal.

 

[T-Blade]

Obligation if we stayed up

I confirmed who it was before el accounto’s mate released the name but yeah I think he also said this was him.

Buying a £20m rated player for £10m would be cute. So don’t rule out a more expensive acquisition.

 

[mattbianco1]

Union Berlin were top of the Bundesliga for a good chunk of last season
Show them a little respect?

Reached the last 16 in the Europa League and finished in the Champions League spots.

• Reads the game well
• Looks hard as nails
• has a better goals per game ratio for Fernebache than Fleck has for us

Key position. If it's possible, I'd say spend quite big to get him. Then use the loans on midfield and try to sell Berge and Jebbison to fund more

Can we have a new ITK thread where that only ITKers can post, and they can debate, fight and squabble?

Please?

 

[Bladeinleeds]

In our side the ‘wide’ centrebacks are vital to how we play - and how we create.

As Anel showed last year the right one coming in can make a huge difference.for the right one it would be worth pushing the boat out a little bit for.

SUFCBilly, has DS said anything about the Ili situation?

I don’t have Twitter so now can’t see anything there unless posted on here

 

[Rupicola]

Not sure how much Frieburg or Hoffenheim would be able to offer, but maybe worth having a go at around 8-10 mil with add ons.
