Pape Matar Sarr

[DiVaio]

 

[Aphex]

Hope we aren't loaning him back and he's that good that he comes straight into the side.

 

[Church]

He mentions in the tweet that we are loaning him back

 

[wiggo24]

€17m is a fair chunk if we'd be loaning him back out you'd think?

Especially given it's looking increasingly like we're having to sell to buy again

 

[DiVaio]

Both Arsenal,city Chelsea and united have Net spent over 100m and we spend 10m + add ons on a talent sarr that Will probably compete with skipp....

Funny that you mention these clubs...

 

[Aphex]

He mentions in the tweet that we are loaning him back

Doh. I guess it will be good for him to play regularly but doesn't improve us this season.

Not really, considering what players go for these days.

Where? I don’t see anything about a loan in that tweet from Longo.

 

[bigfrooj]

What do we know about this lad? Looks like a young Vieira from the pictures.

 

[AJW]

I wouldn’t be shocked if we have a clause that we can pay more and take him this season if we manage to shift some of our deadwood

In the replies

We have all just found out about him yesterday so if you watch one YouTube video of him you will be our resident Pape Sarr Expert.

It's this sort of short-termism that'll leave us in trouble in future seasons. Yes we need to improve the first team now but in a couple of seasons we might have an absolute diamond of a player who would cost 4 or 5 times as much to buy in at that time. There's risk attached but, based on the noise about the likes of City and United looking at him, not a total shot in the dark and much more encouraging than the buzz surrounding the likes of N'Jie and Nkoudou at the time of their signings (seeing as everybody who doesn't like this transfer seems so desperate to tar him with the same brush before he's even kicked a ball).

If this Guy and Romero is "The transfer" then i need to say "hello conference league My old freind!

Both Arsenal,city Chelsea and united have Net spent over 100m and we spend 10m + add ons on a talent sarr that Will probably compete with skipp....

Who Will Score THE 10-15goals that Bale did, who Will Score THE 10goals vini did and we have now never replaced Walker or Eriksen with cash just Levy type solutions. No money spent in a transferwindow when from ITKs Side say "Being outside of top4 is No longer an option.... Yeah lets trust tangana and Doherty to do so.

If this is our "painful rebuild" i see only painful.... 3rd Tier players and "its a buyers market" hell yeah!

I really thought it could chance and they would take a risk now with paratici in and spend some money to pusha for THE top 4 spots but that Little Snake levy never surprise me.

So, you'd be happy spending 129 million on Ben White, ramsdale, odegaard and some unknown from Belgium.

I'd rather we spent wisely. More Hojbjergs at 15 million, instead of Ndombeles at 60 million.

 

[Montalbano]

€17m and loaning him back?

Christ. We could badly use another midfielder if we hope to survive the Europa Conference.

Hope this means our budget is bigger than we’re anticipating.

It's not short termism. We need to do both things, sign ready made first 11 players and future stars otherwise by the time this kid becomes a star he will want to move to a CL club.

 

[mil1lion]

This is a great signing for the future. People are just worried because we still need some players for the here and now. I prefer to wait until the end of the window before throwing toys put of the pram though. If anything it suggests we have decent money available if we're still able to make these type of signings. I think it falls under the category "if an opportunity to sign one of the most promising talents in Europe comes up at a good price we will put the money forward". I don't not see it impact our budget for the first team.

Are you... are you really praising Arsenal's 100 mil spend on White, Ramsdale and Odergaard? Compared to us getting Gil, Romero and Gollini?

 

[Snarfalicious]

We have been clamoring for investment in youth/upside for years now, and we already brought in Gil and now possibly Sarr. This has been where we have very successful in the past, the risk is generally low, and this sort of move should be met with unanimous excitement. We’ve heard in the past that moves like these are more of the opportunistic nature and likely won’t impact what our plans were coming into the window.

If we have to Ioan him back to get him then that's part of the fee I guess.
