Major Isewater Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 ‘Fotospor report his contract situation with Bristol City is making things difficult. His contract with the Championship side was due to expire this season, but Bristol City have exercised the option on his contract, and he’ll be staying at the club for the next campaign ‘ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's yet another report of interest, but for the moment that's all it is. We know he might go but until a firm bid is on the table there is nothing to either accept or reject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that some want to turn every post in to having a veiled snipe at LJ or MA or both. His time has not been wasted, indeed his stock has risen considerably in the last 2 years which is why he's attracting interest from the likes of Fenerbache and Lazio. LJ has gone and the club is moving on. Why can't some people on here do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see Lez. Well that's settled then. I think Brentford might be a tad disappointed that you relegated them to a lower case b. Although you did acknowledge that "there's only one F in Fulham".

TheCulturalBomb Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Where did he finish for assists in the league? How many games was he not played or came off the bench.

BritAbroad Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 A very good player, albeit a very limited one in that we have to play a certain way to accomodate him, which wasn't the best formation for our team this season. Unlikely to agree to a new deal, so I say sell him for whatever we can get him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Moonwalker Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I wouldn't trust any Turkish news source, they're mostly wrong and basically just look for clicks during the summer. I think Eliasson will be off though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keflav Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 All just speculation until we have a manager in place talk of players leaving and being out of contract is just nonsense.. once new man in place this (and if the club offers) might make certain player more likely to sign a new contract... we need the new man in asap to stop this...

The team couldn't seem to put a performance in consistently with it, though. 3-5-2 seems to be the best formation with the current crop of players. I personally feel that if a club that's playing some form of European football comes in for him, he'll be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ has gone and the club is moving on. Why can't some people on here do the same. I agree regarding the digs around LJ however we as fans have not seen the best of NE. That absolutely can’t be disputed and the main reason for that is most likely down to LJ and his use/lack of use of him. NE is extremely talented. Ok so he is a little lightweight, has at times drifted in and out of games but he will always create chances. Our home form in terms of results and performance has been poor. We have lacked SO much in the final third yet we have a player with the creative flair of NE, yet haven’t been able to accommodate him or get the best from him. This has been no fault of his so unfortunately it comes back to Johnson on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 If we can get a good fee for him this summer then he’ll definitely be sold. It’s just whether the post-covid finances will mean any club offers us what we value him at. It’s our model. Buy young, sell at profit. I think we signed him for £1.5m. Sell 3 years on for 2 or 3 times, making good profit to compete and stay in FFP. Whilst he’s a good player in specific situations, his all round game is quite weak. If we can triple our money (ie £4.5m) we’ll be doing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
