Loan unless we sell with a buy back.

Ffs Osimhen it's clearly going to Galatasaray for a month and still not official. So no, we don't need news about Hato and Simons today. Some of you do this for every player every transfer window. For Gittens and Joao Pedro I remember same comments just a couple of weeks ago.

After exactly 3 weeks of vacation pre season starts on Monday 4 August.

So ideally we close these two deals in the next 10 days. Not even full 2 weeks before PL opener.

Have you seen how the deal is being structed?

Whatever is going on with Simons isn't comparable. We just have to be patient at this point. If this stalling meant a move for Rogers or Yildiz (as reported) were to materialise, I'd be pleased.

👀💥Response from an RB Leipzig fan.

I've been at the training camp in Donaueschingen every day since Wednesday, as I live there.
I saw Xavi Simons the day before yesterday and yesterday, but not today.
His brother is also currently in Donaueschingen, as is his agent.

Where is he playing? A loan would be great for him.

He's one of our best defenders and can play 2 positons as his primary ones.which happens to have 3 players that miss alot of games through injuries.

Green unready players are what loans are more useful for.

Our current regime don't have a good record of loan to develop and keep.they mostly loan and if they do good they just increase their transfer fee..

Though it's probably a permanent transfer Bournemouth are looking to do.

Santos was on loan and benefited him. Yes, Josh is super talented but realistically do you see him playing infront of James and Gusto? Or Fofana, Chalobah, Tosin? Even with injuries can't see a lot of minutes. He can take Colwill route and establish himself on loan. When players are real deal they make their way to the first team no matter the circumstances. Courtois, James, Colwill... And I'm sure in the future Josh, Penders... Santos now.

It’s funny, up until the beginning of this week when we were first after him Xavi wasn’t even on my radar as a potential Chelsea player. He was never really a name linked with us from what I recall.

But now that I’ve been watching loads of footage and highlights of him this week I think he would be the most exciting signing we make this summer.

I’d be super let down if we don’t get him now. Hopefully some positive updates today from the big reporters.

I would feel a lot better having Josh around knowing the injury records of Fofana and James

Gusto  is only durable compared to Fofana and James.Gusto had a decent CWC but hasnt answered the question marks from last season when Maresca played him in a role that Acheampong was better at.but  say Maresca decides to ditch that and stick to more of a conventional RB .Gusto has nothing major but routinely picks up knocks and niggles so you banking on when he does get those Reece isnt injured too or you playing Caicedo or Trev at RB. Weakening other areas of the team.

At CB. Fofana should be classed as a +1. Nobody to count on showing up. Badi do we even count him? 

So that leaves Colwill as a regular starter (Hato if we sign hum as depth for LB and LCB) then Trev and Tosin  As other options.experienced players that can sit out some games and come back in as required.certainly not ones that definately block Josh.Acheampong doesnt play like an inexperienced one,he's not perfect but he doesnt make as many errors as a fair few more experienced ones.

I think there's ample games for him with us...maybe 10-15 less games than he would get at Bournemouth,but better level of games,with experiences in UCL and probably deeper in domestic cups.

Having him on hand to ease him into the team gradually increasing his workload depending on how he does whilst retaining him for at minimun quality depth at positions we have 3 or 4 players that have serious durability concerns.he's not at an age where he really needs to play regularly,most his age are still playing age grade football.he's shown enough to be given more opportunities with us tho as we streamline the squad over the coming months.

Chelsea and another top Premier League side are showing strong interest in Kenan Yildiz.

These two PL clubs are prepared to make a serious offer for him.

Juventus are determined to renew his contract and will push to do so in the coming days/weeks.

1. We want Hato and Simons. 

2. Both desperate to join us. 

3. Ajax and Leipzig selling clubs. 

Where is the danger of failing?
