Lerner's Driver Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Have you ever changed your mind and persuaded someone else that this new version of you they are seeing was always 'the real you'? I suspect you have, in an interview say, where you bolster your achievements and ignore the failures, or you just big up the things about you that you think the recruiter will want to hear. It's natural that you do this because your circumstances have changed in the job you are currently in and now you want a new job, so you start by telling yourself a story which you hope you can then go on to sell to a new employer at interview. Rashica's circumstances changed (his employer got relegated), so he needs a new employer that matches his ambition. One year on from our initial interest, his perception of the circumstances (aka as his options), is different. He changed his mind. It's normal. Everybody does it all of the time! Even you. He probably will sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2021 It does make you think, they really probably should have sold him to us last season and reinvested the money in maybe 2 or 3 new players, may have kept them up. That's was the plan I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, interestingly, as people don't talk about it but it's the past tense of shall. (Ok I know that's not what you're saying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The estimated price seems to be going down each day- apparently. However if the Football Insider says this as well I would be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's was the plan I believe. Yeah, I suspect it was the club that messed around and stalled/prevented the deal rather than Milot himself, who actually knows? But I wouldn’t blame him if he had doubts about uprooting and moving abroad for a relegation battle either. I would still welcome him and would expect him to be a major asset. They’ve paid the price really and likely have an unhappy and unfit player on their hands they now need to offload. He needs a move to revive his career.

GingerCollins29 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Shocked some are turning our noses up at him. Is the plan not to establish ourselves and strengthen with the best players from squads above and below us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Does anybody genuinely know if he's any good? The underlying number's don't look great tbh, is he actually better than El Ghazi for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really got going after various different injuries and when he did play he looked well short of confidence but that could be to do with the poor team and manager he was playing for. Nobody had a good season. But in previous seasons I've seen more than enough to show his qualities. At his best, we don't really have anyone like him. He's not really similar to El Ghazi as I think he's at his best played centrally rather than just purely out wide. He'd work well in a fluid frontline. I think he needs a move away from Bremen, get a fresh start somewhere and his confidence back and I'm sure he'd show he's a good player again. Would definitely be good value for around £10m.

MrBlack Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You can look at Lingard as a prime current example of someone who had an off season(s), and then came good in the right environment because the underlying ability was always there. This guy definitely has the ability. And he will almost certainly be immediately worth more than we sign him for (assuming the release fee is accurate). At €15m, he is absolutely worth the money in this market. Feels more like this could be happening than not, but still yet to see any genuine link from a legitimate source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
