  • Just imagine Mavro playing for Arsenal! The world is clearly moving closer to an 'anything can happen' state. Trump is president, we left the EU and Mavro plays for Arsenal.....
  • We don't have to imagine

    He made his debut for Arsenal against Man Utd 29 April 2018, made 8 appearances in total before he joined Stuttgart in 2020

    Danny Dyer on son-in-law Jarrod "I don't think he's going anywhere, and I think he will rip up the Championship, don't you worry yourself about that."

  • I know that that’s a translation, and transfer talk has its own weird language, but reading that makes my head hurt.
  • It's just a clumsy opening shot of negotiation attempting to avoid the fact we don't have to sell him. We have not requested £45m we have demanded it. It indicates negotiation is an obligation rather than a choice we can choose to make.

    I dare say we will negotiate but in my view he is worth every bit of 45m so I hope we wont go down much if any.

    Put it into a spread sheet, that'll make it easier for you 😁😁😁
  • Such good news about Bowen as we could never have attracted a player of his ability in the Championship. I feel the Championship needs a combination of strong leadership types, and a player or two above the level, and Bowen is certainly that. If we could keep Summerville it would be huge as he very much helped Leeds secure promotion. I would offer him a big bonus for gaining promotion. I suspect Bowen has something similar and possibly an agreement to be able to leave if promotion is not secured. The words of the press release indicated an amendment had been made to his existing contract yet the term of it remained unchanged.
  • Roshane Thomas at The Athletic says Bowen has got a new clause that allows him to leave if we don’t win promotion this season (and gets big bonuses if we do)

    Can’t argue with that
  • We best get promoted this season then ASLEF & sign the players to help us to do that.

    Nice to see a change of attitude to signing players for the WHUWFC team, seven new players up to now.
  • Sign it

    As I've said before, this isn't a change of attitude at all, the women's team always has a high turnover of players every summer.

  • buffy & as I said before it the quality of the additions which is the pleasant surprise. =)

    I must admit, I’ve been super impressed with everything the club (DK) has done since relegation:

    Decisive early call on Nuno
    Badge consultation
    Sale of Fernandes for £85m
    Souček confirms he will remain
    Koppen appointed
    Nuno long-term trusted assistant appointed
    Bowen negotiation

    Impressed (which is sometimes hard for me)

    It's being reported that is in Euros which is just over £39 million which is not the 45 we wanted?
  • We want £50m

    He is worth that
  • We want £50m

    He is worth that

    Is he?

    We bought him for £25mil where he was the best player in the championship

    His first season was awful even before the injury he looked lightweightand struggled to make goal contributions, then obviously got a bad (and odd) injury

    Then last season he found his form/fitness but still only got 5 goals and 2 assists in 30 games... those 5 goals all came pretty close together. He still suffered with the odd injuries

    Think £40mil is a very good deal for the club personally, if it wasnt for and impressive world cup (where you cant buy players just because kf a good world cup... Pablo Barrera) hed have fetched something closer to £30m/£35m imo
  • Also want to say to my above, im a big Summerville fan and he'd be in the top 3 players id have wanted to keep

    But dont think he's a £50mil signing even in this crazy market
  • 🗣️ Twist n shout





  • I still believe he is a £50m player
  • If we get £40m for him that’s incredible

    Had a small few game purple patch last season & he’s worth £40m, been pretty non-descript for most of the 2 years he’s been here
  • Inconsistent at top level IMO, I'd love him to stay, but if he has to go, so be it....
