david-avfc Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 £2m for Nakamba is probably a couple of mil cheap but realistically he isn’t part of our plans and if any other PL clubs bar Luton thought he was worth having they’d have jumped all over it.

He seems to fit the profile to a tee to what we're looking for in a player. I feel like I've mentioned him a few times now and also in general football forums but get very little reaction. Is there something about him I don't know about? Why is no-one signing him and why did Frankfurt let him go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here, can't remember who, said he wants huge wages, as well as a huge chunk of his image rights etc, as he really has a huge image rights income thing going on. Apparently the whole package is huge factoring all he wants in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a good sell on clause I don't think Luton will ever sell for profit, he's not on a big contract and will be 30 by the next transfer window and his career highlight in England is doing a good job in midfield for a small Championship team for 6 months, unless you count sporadically playing for Villa over 3 years as a better achievement.

If it's entirely money driven move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one of the things with Japanese or Korean players that are top level, even if they may not be quite good enough for a starting 11 slot, you would still take them due to the huge image rights and fan base. However, if he wants a huge chunk of that too, maybe a player you are 50/50 about, now becomes much less enticing.

Transfers It's an interesting one, I have mentioned kamada for probthe previous two summer windows now, but with the signings we are making, im not even sure he would be in our starting 11. Who knows tho tbh, would prob still take him. Edited July 22, 2023 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 1 hour ago, useless said: WIthout Nakamba we may have been relegated first season back and maybe not signing the likes of Torres and DIaby now, we won 23 points from games he played 2019/20 season. Of course another midfielder might have done a similar job, but all that matters is that Nakamba did his job and helped us survive, so his fee already paid for itself just based on that. Exactly this. FFP made it very difficult for us (and plenty of other teams) to sign players for anything more than a 2 - 3 year window (if our plan was to go from promotion, avoid relegation, mid-table, top half and then challenging for promotion). Lots of players earned their value by keeping us up and allowing us to progress. Our transfer success in comparison to other clubs is also skewed against us because we've not had to sell our best players every season. People are beginning to notice that Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans, Ramsey and Luiz cost less between them than many bang average players and that the resale value for each of them would realise a pretty healthy profit indeed. Maybe not quite at the level of Brighton but very favourably compared to most other teams in the division. But the true value still lies in the fact that without the likes of Nakamba, Trez, AEG, etc we would likely of either not got promoted or been relegated straight away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was surely worth more than that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
