Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[Montalbano]

Is playing Hojbjerg over KWP at RB Southampton’s way of saying “fuck you Daniel, we’re not swapping one of our best players for your academy right back”?

 

[sidford]

That only works if the player is happy to go there as well, in this case I'm pretty sure he wants us so any other bidding is irrevelant.

Both sides play the game. Saliba did it last season and has happened loads of times over the years. Suits both the player and the selling club to play the game

it's more saying "hasenhuttl rotate the team because they played 3 days ago"

 

[Snarfalicious]

Down injured. That'll be KWP for PEH and 10m, thank you.

 

[Timberwolf]

Question is, even if Everton want him, will he actually go there?

A few journos have hinted he would prefer us and, even with Ancelotti and all their millions, Everton's squad looks far more of a mess than ours. Would you rather play with Kane, Lo Celso and Son, or Calvert-Lewin, Walcott and Siggy?

Plus London, the stadium, Mourinho, etc.

He will if we don’t offer Southampton a suitable deal. He’s done at Saints and Everton can still offer him more money and the opportunity to play for an elite coach. We’re obviously a more attractive prospect than Everton, especially if we clinch a Europa spot. We just need to give Southampton a good enough offer. Would have no doubts he’d pick us over the toffees.

KWP on and Hojbjerg in midfield

 

[cjsimba]

KWP looking very good

 

[DiVaio]

Hojbjerg in 2nd half looks good too

 

[bbunc]

Just missed a sitter. That’s another 1M quid off

Next update:
Everton have offered Sticky Toffee Pudding for Hojbjerg. Rumored to be worth £5.

 

[dirtyh]

where’s Marc banana man? The price could be down to £2m any time now

 

[carpediem991]

Sky Sports heard Everton tabled a spoon and a fork - it is dinner time

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

All Everton are doing is working out the ball park figure for us.

it’s very kind of them to do all the leg work so we can jump in later.

Thanks Everton.

In three hours his price has dropped £11 million ... All while actually playing.

And playing well, too!

 

[bbunc]

How much to toss Hausenhutl and Ings into the deal too. Their movement is phenomenal.

 

[ItsBoris]

So does he look like he fits the bill for us? I'm watching the Man Utd match so haven't seen him

 

[Japhet]

KWP would have to be OK with going the other way too.
