JTG 4,791 4.4k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Wonder whether the thinking will be to try and unearth another Latte Lath in a foreign league or to go big on someone more established domestically like a Cannon. I noticed Archer seems to be out of favour at Southampton as well. Started less than half their games and played only marginally more than half their minutes this season. Wonder if there would be a deal to be done there. Wouldn’t be cheap mind but he’s someone who already knows the club, the area, Carrick’s system and in theory could hit the ground running.

I presume he is way out of our league in terms of wages now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco's Tuft 1,589 1.5k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2 hours ago, Marvanelli said: If we lose ELL, it will also put some more pressure on Carrick to get us results - which again, may help to see if he is fully up to the task, as this is effectively his team now. I would think there would be more pressure on Carrick if we turn down serious money so that our promotion effort isn't weakened. If we sell ELL he has a ready made excuse.

TeaCider24 21,192 25.6k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Good article in the Echo about the situation "Targets regarded as attainable this month are already in place, with Michael Carrick having been heavily involved in the planning process."

Good article. Disagree with ELL being the least damaging loss out of him, Hackney, and Rav though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinboro 1,832 2.6k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That article indicates that we have deals ready to go. If so I think we try to get a deal down early so we can replacements and additions in with the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherSmoggy 411 343 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Scott seems pretty certain other clubs will bid after being in contact with the club regarding Lath. Any bid made now will have to be higher than the 18 million from Atlanta so we’re in a good position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickety Cricket 207 161 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It Lath does end up going to the US it is probably a better deal for us than him going to the prem with add ons, sure the the Add Ons will be easier to obtain from playing in the MLS than in the Premier league. Not that I want him to leave, very hard to replace with his work rate that he puts in, and comes across as a likeable guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous-member 4,924 5.8k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Feels very much like somethings gonna happen this week to me, whether that be to Atlanta or to someone else. fingers crossed we get as much money for him as we can and we can replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAcklam2404 2,317 2.3k Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Maybe expect a few names being linked this week then. I can see him not being involved on Saturday which means Burgzoeg will be up top 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few now that Scott has brought in that seem to be reasonable and decent to be around, Rav, Ell, Engel etc. important to avoid the drama queens with ego's bigger than the Transporter and more baggage than Postman Pat.

I'd like me to be wrong on that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifty 931 984 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Burgzorg isn’t a striker, playing him up front would be disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
