[NOT HAPPENING] Lyanco Vojnovic

I’m far less concerned about CB than some of our fans, simply because we already have that big step change upgrade in Sierralta vs our last campaign. Kabasele and Cathcart is better back up than many of our rivals have.

 

Well they shafted us for GD. So they seriously owe us.

 

Sorry mate. They just couldn't handle me.

Good to hear

 

Well Betis’ main media outlet has tweeted this. Considering they were favourites to sign him, and according to reports had everything agreed with the player to sign him before we came in.

 

**** off back to udineseforums.com

 

I'm going to see out my contract til 2072 here. I might have a few bouts of illness though.

 

This is translation of the article, says we offered 7 mill against and asking price of 8-9 mill...

Antonio Cordón, sports director of Real Betis Balompié, has closed the incorporation of Argentine Germán Pezzella as a reinforcement for the axis of Pellegrini's rear. A return, that of the albiceleste, which serves to fill the void left by Mandi, who went free to Villarreal.

With this movement, Betis closed the defense axis, waiting to be able to give way to another central, as is the case of Sidnei. A movement for which the profile of a young defender with projection would be sought.

Hence, the Brazilian Lyanco, on Cordón's list to reinforce the rear, has taken another path towards the Premier. As reported by the Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, the defender is in league with Watford. The idea is that he leaves Torino in exchange for 8-9 million euros, while the English have only reached 7 kilos to date.

Along with Waford, Bologna has also shown their interest. The performance of the Serbo-Brazilian in these years does not push him to reach such figures, hence Betis settled the negotiations by offering six kilos.

 

They must have taken that stat when Deeney and Rose were off .

 

We only offered 7 kilos? That takes the Deeney swap deal off the table.

 

As I’ve mentioned before, if Sierralta plays for Chile during the next two international breaks, we face losing him for four matches, two each time.

 

I would tend to agree, but there is definitely more than one way to get better. Having CBs with pace that can pass can help mitigate not having midfielders that can one touch turn and drive forward. It also could strengthen us if we needed to play a back 3 with wing backs. I think we'd all agree that most of our FBs are better suited as WBs. All that aside, being strong down the spine is critical. Although to your original point, I did try and see if this bloke had ever played as a FB. I couldn't find anything.

 

Is it?

 

I mean I have literally no idea who other teams have as back up CBs but they’re both decent players who I wouldn’t want starting week in week out. Which they’re not, so I’m fine with it.

A young talented CB would be a great acquisition but I’m not losing any sleep if we stick with what we have.

 

Wait - so they are better than what our rivals have despite you having no idea who are rivals have?

And you wouldn’t want them starting week in-week out - yet we are an injury away from that. And over a 38 game season, that’s very possible. Which is the point being made.

 

I summise they are good back up based on what I’ve seen.

But I agree with your point that injuries to first choice players could weaken us.

 

I hope Pellegrini's rear axis problems are not serious.
And typical Gino....Torino want minimum 8 million Euros & he offers a big sack of polenta.

 

Maybe Troy's cojones weigh that much

 

Udinese defender Becao is in the sights of Toro and would be that long-awaited defender from Juric. There could be an exchange, the one with Lyanco. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the negotiations are already at an advanced stage, even if the question of signings by the two players has to be resolved. However, the companies are confident that the negotiations will be successful.

Looking promising.

 

Yes, as long as Udi send Lyanco our way & don't keep him for themselves

 

Can happen to gentlemen of a certain age. So I’m told.

 

Revenge for Pussetto

 

Udinese are signing Nehuen Perez from Atletico Madrid on loan - so I wouldn't assume Lyanco is part of this.

 

And power lifters.

 

Ok but it does say if the swap deal goes ahead it's more likely that Lyanco ends up here.

 

Not sure where the Udinese CB 'roster' is at, but if they already signing Perez it may imply that they have no use for Lyanco other than to lend/swap to us probably for Success, which ironically would be his first for the club, success that is.

 

Only if they don't breathe correctly (valsalva manoeuvre).

 

Going to Southampton

 

Romano reporting that we were never in for him.

He's a defender so no huge shock there.

 

Leventhal knows nothing.

 

could be right

#Lyanco greets the @TorinoFC_1906, there is an agreement with the @SouthamptonFC for its sale

 

Knew it was too good to be true.

Contract extension for Kabasele incoming.

 

€7m fee, so a bit less than was reported when we were linked a few days ago.

I guess Leventhal’s right and we are inexplicably content with Sierralata, Troost-Ekong, Cathcart and Kabasele as our only options all season. Even though WTE is away for AFCON for a few games.
If Sierralta gets injured we’re in serious trouble.
