Patrick Dorgu | Medical today? No. Weekend.
- Thread starter bosskeano
- Start date
great timing haha
I think we will still pursue a LWB target in the summer as none of our primary targets are available in January or at least at a price we can possibly afford, Dorgu is just as useful if not more so on the Right, long term I suspect the intention is for Dorgu to be used as RWB with Amad as R10
Think this is a great video on why he could really make a difference for us:
Good old Adam
Figure this will get done shortly now with Antony off to Betis on loan
Is this your video?

Feel like I've see a video like this for just about every player we've signed.
What happened to Adam Clery?
Looks fine mate, he is in that video.
He’s clearly had a bereavement or something
And they speak like they watch Lecce week in week out. Somehow I doubt that.
Made a new 30 million euro bid
That should do it you would believe...
I remember videos showing how Onana would transform us. Don’t believe these anymore.
Have I missed something? How can we now bid 30m Euro? Haven't we only got rid of Antony on loan?
25.3m sounds ok to me.
End of the day, its January, not many players are available. The LWB is cruicial to us. LWB's are hard to find. Probably the hardest position on the pitch to fill. You need a left footer (rare) that is capable of attacking and defending (also rare). Lad of 20 years old with his whole future ahead and one of the most promising in Europe.
I think its a good deal.

We’d be spreading that €30m over the course of his contract. So only a percentage of the overall fee would initially go on the books now.
In PSR terms we only need to account for 6 million euros this season. Triggering the extension on Maguire and loaning out Antony has freed up nearly £8 million in PSR space.
If we have the cash (I'm fairly sure we have £70 left on the credit facility) then there isn't an issue with the signing.
£70? I mean I'm no expert but that seems tight.
I won't pretend to understand how getting rid of Antony on loan frees up enough for this...
Incredibly
Maguire contract extension helped us by about £6 million in the PSR calculations.
With proper PSR amortization, that'll still get us a nice CF
We could spend £300 with that!
I also imagine the Garnacho must be close
If he’s a progressive LWB then this should help us out massively. We don’t have runners in the wing back positions unless Amad plays there. We need someone to carry the ball into the final 3rd. This would be quite an exciting signing.
Yes but we don't need to sell Garnacho to facilitate this deal as there is now enough space in the PSR calculations.
Absolutely, it's a relatively low cost and exciting deal which should help the balance of the team a great deal.
Ah right I see. I have only had a cursory look at the rules. I thought it was a max of 5 years of contract PSR would apply to?
Thanks for explaining. I don't particularly like how signing an overpaid player for another year actually helps but you have to cook the books.
Ah I see
It's not low cost at all. It's actually quite a big outlay for a player who looks quite raw and has very little experience in playing let alone being a wingback.
Unless theres the old Hojlund "youre paying for potential!" argument, which sort of falls on its arse after how Hojlund is doing
It's a yearly cost of about £5 million. That is a relatively low cost on the books.
Yeah but he must be actually decent now seeing as all the Serie A fans said they think Lecce will get relegated without him
its a 30mEUR fee is it? For a left back that has hardly any experience and looks like he's still quite raw. I'm sure you amortize other fullbacks to make them sound pretty in price per year, but it doesnt change the fact that this is flat out *not* a relatively low cost on the books to what you see in the market.
Cryptic tweet from Romano? Guessing this is nearly done.
They're 1 point above the drop it's not really saying much
