🚨🇫🇷EXCL Total agreement Leipzig / Al Nassr : €45M for Mohamed Simakan
@RMCsport


🔹Negociation ongoing between Al Nassr and the defender. Al Nassr offer 5 year contract ⏳🇸🇦

➡️If everything is ok Mohamed Simakan will fly tomorrow for the medical test 🩺

Craig Hope reported that

"Howe told Mitchell Get me Guehi or don't bring in another CB."

If this is the case, Eddie's gonna get himself fired.

We've missed out on a player of great quality for £40m who is every bit as good as Guehi.

I appreciate the need for English players for Homegrown and the need to have cohesion culturally. However, to refuse other equally quality options is naive at best and disrespectful to the club & fans at worst.

Tomorrow needs to be a massive day for us or the fans are gonna go mental if we don't play well & win well against Spurs.

If they beat us the fans will go mental!
This part…

If this is true then WTF is Howe playing at?
It’s politics at the expense of the squad, plain and simple… and Eales should have done his job and told him to pipe down.

Questioned it before, but is this another case of us not only being limited by who we can attract/afford, but by Eddie’s ability to work with all players and manager characters effectively… or the lack of it.

Keeping Miggy, a delight to work with and not a problem in the dressing room.

All speculation based on a reported comment, but if true then the club needs to sort this out… and decisively… pretty f**king quick.
