[SIGNED perm] Ismaila Sarr - club record fee

If Leicester or CP actually want to sign him, we will be outbid and he won't be coming here.

 

Oak chested.

 

No veneer in 'ere.

 

"Vanished like an old oak table".
"Varnished,Lord Percy".
Lord it's depressing on here tonight,think I'll check the cricket thread to cheer me up!

 

About 2 months on from the initial interest, is this ***** coming or what?

 

I just read Leicester put a €30m + €10m bonus bid in. If that's true and they sign him I will he fuming.

 

Pereyra will be creative until December then give up.

 

This is a common misconception which I honestly believe is based partly on the fact that he just has a wide face, and partly on the fact that he is actually just a physical monster, but we can see from this photo from last season that he has in fact not put any timber on at all:

"Player with the highest market value at the Stade Rennais, Isma*la Sarr should not make old bones in the Breton club. Conquered for several weeks by Watford, the Senegalese winger is very interested in another Premier League team. According to our information, Leicester is in the process of formulating an offer worth more than 30 million euros (40M € with bonuses) for Isma*la Sarr. An offer that is likely to hit the ground, knowing that the striker of the SRFC has an agreement in principle with its leaders in case of offer exceeding 30M €. The departure of Isma*la Sarr is more than ever imminent, knowing that Watford could align with the offer of Foxes."

Could be a paper making up a link to create clicks, but still.

 

And at least we now know that he won’t make old bones.

 

Even more reason then to ensure we have a backup option. We desperately need competiton in those wide areas.

 

There is a medical happening at the training ground today. The player taking part in the medical is unknown, however with reports of the deal being done by the end of Tuesday, this would make sense.

 

I believe that is Billy Unknown having the medical. He was identified as the alternative to Marvelous Mrsmaisel and Massive Pairoftits.

 

If Leicester come in now they are awash with cash we're doomed

 

We were never really in with a chance. Hopefully we realise this before the last minute and have a back up ready though it seems the logical back ups have already signed for rivals.

 

What does Jamie from Media think?

This thread is going to be as long as the Tommy Smith thread.

Pretty much every tweet he does now has a link to pay and register for The Athletic. I'd never suggest he has an agenda.

 

As if we do medicals before signing players. Fake news....

 

Whether he has the ‘inside scoop’ on things or not, he must realise by now that these aren’t updates. He’s just telling us stuff we already know. He’s said yesterday was a ‘pivotal’ day. Now today is a ‘day of decisions’. He’s not doing his credibility much good.

 

Tomorrow is the day of judgement I believe.

 

And the day after the Final, Irreversible Choice.

 

He requires a work permit too I imagine?

 

We are already half way through the 24hr decision window which expires at 3.30pm today which HB1 confirmed yesterday. Keep up Adam.

 

Would assume he has a French Passport.
if not, the fee would mean that he would easily get the permit.

 

I think the plan will be loan him to Granada for three years to meet the residency requirements for a Spanish passport. He will then train with the club (but on his own) for a year to get his fitness up. We will then be sending him to the Belgian league to gain some much needed match practice against titans such as Obbi Ooolalare and Stephen Birdhouse. He should be ready to play around the 2024 season but unfortunately his contract will be up by this point, meaning he will be leaving the club with a heavy heart. The Official Twitter will wish him well and post a 30 second megamix of his best shuttle runs in training. A Testimonial match will be mooted but ultimately decided against.

 

Actually the cut-off time is 3pm. Only 4 hours remaining to get this done.

 

Must be difficult to do a medical wearing a balaclava and sunglasses.

 

More chance of my builder finishing the bathroom I'd say and there's no sign of the bath,sink,lavatory,floor tiles and tiling 3/4 completed!

 

Good point. My bad. Less than 4 hours now. Come on Gino, we just have to outbid CP and LCFC. You know you want to.

 

Exciting stuff. Sarr is currently googling to find out who Watford are

Thankfully the images are now dominated by the football team as opposed to the town.
