Have to be realistic There's pages worth of discussions about this earlier on in the thread. It essentially narrows down to: CDK will eventually move to one of the giants (talking the clubs who can actually win the CL, not just participate in it), his best course of action to raise his profile would be to play and play well in the Premier League. He doesn't have to move to get CL football, he can get that with is club in Belgium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be realistic .. when people say they want Champions League football you know it is about money and nothing to do with the Champions League!!! Only certain teams are rich enough to consistently offer that playing option and this mantra of..."I want Champions league football" is a smoke screen for... "I want more money." Just imagine if we were to win it again next season, there will not be a line of international players knocking on the door to come and play for us, we saw it before, it was still difficult to get players of a certain quality (we couldn't afford the elite ones) to come here. It would be nice to see some real honesty and integrity in this game. Edited 6 July 2022 by sacreblueits442 Spelling error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already plays for a club in the Champions League, and one that is likely to get it with more certainty than wherever he moves too, so of course it’s about money.

It would be nice to see some real honesty and integrity in this game. That's just not true. In most big European leagues, there are 1-3 teams that will consistently get Champions League football. It's true that Italy is almost in a Premier League situation -- it has a Big 6ish, although Juve thinks itself a Bayern Munich -- playing for AC Milan means playing in Europe, and looking at Serie A now, probably playing in Champions League for the next 3-4 years. It's a better bet for consistent Champions League football right now than Arsenal or even Manchester United. There are plenty of players who will ply their trade for a team playing consistently in Champions League for less money than a midtable Premier League team will offer. If we won it next year, there won't be a line of elite players want to play for teams that are consistently in Champions League. We aren't consistently in Europe yet. But believe me, winning the Premier League twice in seven years, with an FA Cup sandwiched in-between would attract a higher class of player than Everton or Wolves would get, even if they paid more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsFox95 Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 (edited) If Milan don’t stump up the money then I suspect he’ll go to Leeds anyway, even if he doesn’t really want to. Always worth remembering that Raphinha left CL football with Rennes to sign for newly promoted Leeds, and now look at him - highly sought after by Europe’s best. Going to Leeds was better for his development than staying in France, and it would be better for CDK than staying in Belgium. Unless we can also match Leeds’ bid of 35m but there haven’t been any serious links to us for a while so I doubt it. It’s Milan or Leeds it seems (and make no mistake, CDK for Leeds would be an unbelievable coup, he’s far too good for them).

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 Reading Leeds prepared up their offer to 37.5m euros including add-ons. They seem desperate to get him....why all the rush 🤔 it isn't if anyone else have bid for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 Hes coming here. I just know it. Boris and his quest for climate change has allowed us one of the best training grounds you can get, and CDK knows that to have that + full game time + development is rare at his age/level, and he'll get that here. Sod Milan, that can't pay him enough and who wants to play in Italy anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigga Posted 7 July 2022 Share Posted 7 July 2022 CL football wins all day long.. plenty of fans last season saying they did t want us in Europe (EL) as it meant Thursday Sunday football.. well our failure to get into a European competition pretty much means we are where we are.. failing it seems to not only buy players but pretty much even attract any names.. it seems a real struggle for us to ship players out also. All in all it seems a bit of a mess so far and we go into our preseason with no new faces and players that we don’t even want.. frustrating even more, is the fact that newly promoted clubs are happily doing what looks like some decent business..
