CONFIRMED Jairo Riedewald

[Bladey_blade]

I'd sign him for 2 and a half years from Jan, big player and his role does not need to athleticism that goes in your 30s. Mastertroke in recruitment this.

 

[FTPE]

A little shout out to the nudge Jairo gave the Stoke player, that allowed Seriki to serve past him and get his shot off for the second goal.

I almost commented the same.
Its those little things that clever and confident players do that get you the fine margins.

I don't think Wilder would have an issue with signing him on a longer term deal, but the board shelled out a few quid on Matos and Soumaré (loan fee) for his position.
I would imagine it's them that are reluctant to sanction it.

Really we should be letting at least one of Matos / Soumaré go in Jan, possibly even both.

Riedewald's a nailed on starter for the rest of the season if he does decide to sign and we can make it happen. We don't have anyone else to do his role.
Arblaster and Peck would be competing for the one shirt and it's very much Peck's to lose.
Forget Tom Davies, his career is looking beyond salvageable sadly.

Agreed, even if Davies was fit enough next week, I still wouldn’t be extending his deal when it terms at the end of the season. Soumare isn’t our player, for me personally he should be at the bottom of the pecking order. Time will tell regarding Riedewald but I would be offering his at least a 2 1/2 year deal now. Not sure what we are paying Godfrey in wages but getting rid of him could be a like for like in terms of balancing the books. Matos is still only 21 maybe if we can ship him out on loan to the end of the season that will get some game time and make a decision in the summer

Reyt like him

I thought Matos was loan (Chelsea?)

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Perm. Needs a loan and keep Jairo.

 

[LBA_Blade]

Yeah as above perm 3 year deal for undisclosed fee

 

[rompodebailey]

Perm. Needs a loan and keep Jairo.

Didn't know that, and not saying I didn't believe you, but I did go to google to check.

 

[ancientblade]

i think both matsos and soumare could go in january especially if we get reidwald actually i would like us to bring another creative midfielder in similar to hamer

 

[Kenilworth]

I’d like to keep Soumare. Big potential and has all the attribs

It was reported recently that there is no break clause in the loan for Soumare. I can actually see Soumare becoming a very good player in a year or twos time. He’s a bit raw at the moment but has all the attributes. I don’t see us paying €8m in the summer to see if he fulfils his potential though.

We may try and loan out Matos though, he’s miles down the pecking order now and with Arblaster coming back he’s even further away from the pitch.

Didn't Soumaré joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan that includes an obligation to buy, triggered if certain criteria are met (for example, promotion-related conditions and appearances)?

He did yeah but the chances of us hitting the criteria which presumably given the club he came from, his age and progression it would have meant promotion to the Premier League is highly unlikely, I would personally prefer to look after our own future talent
