Transfer Rumours Ins, Outs, Rumours & Tosh. Summer 2019.

Which is why SW wasn't going to put up more money presumably.

 

I don’t believe it will happen (how reliable is this lowy chap?), but can you imagine him on the left and emi on the right?

 

I'm with you on that. Believe it when I see it. We'll know one way or another today though.

 

Like Robbie, I find this hard to believe unless the £20m was a smokescreen to avoid inflated prices for players. He would cost at least £7-8m and £15m was suggested earlier. His preference was said to be the Bundesliga so I wonder how wholeheartedly he would come to us if it happens. If Amadou signs we have no overseas places left unless Srbeny or someone else leaves.

 

But why was his preference Bundesliga ? Did he think PL was a step to far at this stage of his development ? Did he favour German coaching style ? I think the source is soccerlink not Lowy

 

Claude-Maurice

Earlier this summer he told L'equipe: "Now I feel like it's time to leave, to join a club that is playing at a higher level.

"I want to join Monchengladbach. It is a club that relies on young people, there is a good structure, the team will play in the Europa League. This project pleases me and suits me."

Well I would be very pleased if it happens, but I'm not building my hopes up.

Believe this journo broke the initial story.

 

Spanish press running it too:

The officiality of Amadou, shortly #SevillaFC Y #NorwichCity sealed the early morning deal -> One million per assignment and 9.5 purchase option

 

Brilliant DH!

Well at least he has a ready made chant:-

Amadou dou dou
Push pineapple shake the tree!

 

But will he play to the left or to the right?

 

Though his main position is DM, Amadou can also play at CB, which gives us that flexibity, like Godfrey being also capable of playing DM. If a CB is caught out of position, Amadou can drop back to cover (as Tettey has done on occasions). To add to that, Amadou is also capable of playing as a box to box CM, which suggests that we have a ball playing DM, who can also make long diagonal passes to attacking players in good positions. This seems to be the kind of movement and flexibility DF wants to establish throughout the squad.

 

I know the main story has been seen but Reeve is someone who must have contacts at the club with all he does? If he is getting excited, perhaps there is something in it?

 

Seems like there isn't:

Shame... that really WOULD have been a boost for the season. Mind you, I thought the same when we signed Leroy Fer and he was crap! Nevermind!

 

Michael Bailey has hinted at a 5pm announcement...nothing from the club yet.

 

Will be Amadou i guess

Although thats been done now!
