Looks like the poster opines the move to West Ham is more favourable than Leicester......... Move on Dufkin. WhU would be given its love etc, I'd wonder where Soule would fit into that Whu team, unless Bowen is going upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You establish a relationship, love, fall out and then break up. But in real terms, nothing ever happend. Your just a weirdo stalker!!! [Soule's phone rings for the 14th time, goes to voicemail] Uh, Matías? Leicester here. Again. Ha ha. The thing is, uh, it’s just, this just isn’t working out. We think you’re great and everything, but maybe we should just take some time off from each other. It’s not you, it’s us... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just rumour that he supposedly isn't keen on Leicester, but that is far from being confirmed as fact, and even if it was true that doesn't mean that he wouldn't be happy to sign, just means that he has other preferred options if they become available. Even if he's not necessarily happy to come here, that doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't be a model professional after signing. Mahrez didn't want to be here but apart from a couple of games he still put in great performances for us, on the flip side Evans gave the impression that he was a good personality at the club but he'd checked out long before his contract ended. Once again, people treating every rumour as definitive fact and making judgment calls on the player/our transfer strategy/Rudkin etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad when you deep that we’re an unattractive club to join these days. Roma are massive though. Your point would be bang on if he was choosing Sampdoria etc. Soule preferring Roma over Leicester isn’t showing us as unattractive. Roma are one of the biggest clubs in Italy, in the capital, with a massive history and an exciting project under a club legend. I dare that he would still prefer the Roma move even if we were the club we were a few years ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is at Juve, just spent a good season at Frosinone, so why would a newly promoted team in England, with a likely points penalty all but ensuring a relegation battle be that appealing? On top of that, there's the style of football, culture and language which would not be ideal I imagine. It would mainly be for the salary then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore Posted 22 July Share Posted 22 July If this kid was as good as I'd hope he'd be there's no way Juventus would be getting rid of him and another top club wouldn't be snapping him up. I just have this feeling he'll turn out to be like one of those Everton or West Ham type signings that cost a lot of money and have a fancy name that then go down to be a terrible bit of business. You usually see them starting the third round of the league cup against Macclesfield desperately trying to fire up their career. I really hope I'm wrong of course and we snap up a gem, but I really can't see it as the big Premier League clubs for starters would be all over this if he had true potential. I've mentioned it before but we have Will Alves ready and raring to go - home grown talent who loves the club ready to write fairly tales. If you're telling me Soule is as technically gifted as Alves then pay £50m and blow all the transfer budget on him as he's going to be world class. Get Alves and Braybrooke in the squad next season, blow the remaining money on a proven striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Alves & Braybrooke are BOTH coming back from the worst type of injuries you can get as a footballer! They also have zero experience in top level football (that includes EFL)... I think a season of drip feeding them would be needed. Soule is clearly talented and has experience in Serie A (50 Games) & some small European games under his belt.... I think we're looking at two different types of 'Hot Prospects' scenarios.. Soule is coming to the end of the queue, where as Alves / Braybrooke have only just joined it.

I think the come back is complete in regards to the injuries. It was New Year that they on paper would be ready but quite rightly we were very cautious and have given them an extra 8 months. I'm talking about them both as if they have the same body and exactly the same injury but I think they should be both ready now. There has to be a time where we move on and be a bit more optimistic and look to the future. We have world class rehabilitation facilities and staff, it's not the 1990s where they'd spend 18 months on the booze and tabs - I feel they could be chucked into the deepend if needs be this season.

mozartfox Posted 22 July Share Posted 22 July (edited) Does he not know we are Chelsea's official feeder Club? He will only be here for one Year tops if has a good season. His Agent needs to do some research. Although in fairness, I can see the attraction of discounted Dildos at West Ham.

So now as we go for more obvious targets, we will be joined by other Clubs in the race. Successful scouting and clever acquisition needs a good scouting network working outside of the mainstream leagues in Europe and including places like Africa, South America and Japan etc. I doubt we do this with the current DoF.
