He’s only 21, good stats, decent pace as well. I’d probably say £20m max but that is a wild guess on my part. £20M doesn’t even get you a Rhian Brewster here though and Gouiri is way better than Brewster. Nice are owned by Ineos so Britain's richest man I think, they're not poor They've hired in lilles title winning manager from last season, made some good signings too and should give the CL places a push this season Can't see him leaving now, it's a huge year for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why we might be in for him since he'd probably be cheap, decent, cover but he'd probably want to go somewhere he's more likely to be able to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying him makes sense but a loan with minimum game time conditions etc is pretty daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can push into Europe then I see us adding a quality permanent addition next season since there’s more matches to go around. Kind of a tricky position to fill until then, though.

sharkyvilla Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 His contract runs out at the end of this season I think, it wouldn't make sense to loan him out for his last year then let him go for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they do exactly the same thing with the Cleverly loan?

If they can't sell him and don't want his wages it does Not sure what kind of a market there is for him to be honest, would think that someone would gamble for less than £10m Him signing that new contract there gets worse everytime I think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is he at utd now 5th or 6th choice? He needs to leave, not sure who else would take him Personally I hope we don't and I hope that he goes somewhere he's 1st choice and gets to play, hard to imagine Bruce wouldn't try a loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it's in a position we're well stocked in, but need competition/cover. For anything under 8m it would be a good move and he'd provide competition and has good potential. We need to the spend big improving the team further up the pitch Edited July 29, 2021 by VillaJay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A loan with an option to buy makes sense. Loaning another club's player for a year with no option for the second time just because we can't seem to invest in proper cover for our first team would be seriously frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an option to extend by a year and want him to sign another before agreeing to any loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even know where half of them are now. If we would have kept them, we’d have gone straight back down, that is a virtual certainty, even with Grealish in the team. We took a big gamble but it paid off to an extent, the squad is in much better shape now but as always, there is work to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
