They had to transfer list their entire squad last month due to debts of c. €100m so that's an interesting one.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Sacha:
#SevillaCF could hijack the deal for Dodi Lukebakio !
As the Spanish club didn't have money to spend, relationship trough 777Partners (shareholder group of the two teams) could help to facilitate the deal between #HerthaBSC & #Sevilla.
As revealed on the 8th August, #BurnleyFC was the only club that gave 11M€ + 2M€ on the table for the player to #HerthaBerlin
The Belgian winger never wanted to play for a relegation team & was hesitating till the end as he always told since the beginning of the window he wanted to play Champions League football after his german journey.
I understand also Lukebakio took a flight on Friday with his entourage.
Very strange case so Wait&See. #mercato #DiablesRouges

It’s understandable if he wanted to go to Sevilla for Champions League football and a probable Europa League trophy. Good to know these are the type of teams we’re competing with players for.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Unless there’s a chance of the Bakayoko deal, time to push the boat out for Tella?
Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
So disappointing to miss out on Lukebakio, I thought he’d be our signing of the summer. I don’t see us going anywhere near the likely Bakayoko fee and Tresor will likely go elsewhere.
Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Other teams after Tresor but they are asking too much for him. No doubt someone will pay the money nearer the end of the window.

Tella is a player we know will offer us something good on and off the field. . I'm sure Stoke fans were mesmerised when they signed that class player Bojan and we all know how badly that turned out for them

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Given the number of options we already have for the right wing (Koleosho, Benson, Larsen, Redmond, Vitinho if we are away and want someone to focus on pressing, Amdouni if we want Foster down the middle and say Zaroury or Redmond left, JBG, Odobert) I'm not sure we need to panic on the right hand side.
Lukebakio clearly has pedigree and would have added something and there is a vacancy for a player of his or Tella's ilk to add raw pace and power. But we have if anything too many options to fit into 2 or 3 off-the-front man positions already so we don't need to settle for second best and we certainly don't need someone who isn't seen as an immediate starting option.

It just shows that it’s usually the players that hold the upper hand when transfers are about to complete, as they play off other options. Good to see that it appears that we can play that game as well. On this occasion we have lost out but expect we have other targets being played as well.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Interesting that Tella and Barnes both played in Southampton's 4-4 draw against Norwich yesterday. Neither got a goal or even an assist.
That's not to say I wouldn't welcome Tella back at a sensible price if he wants to come.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Sacha did say Sevilla COULD hijack, I still remain hopeful given the wording and the fact Lukebakio has been in England since Friday.
Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Quite lightweight and failed at PL level last time are the two concerns for me, plus a supposed record breaking transfer fee of 15-20m needed. Our other right wing option (Benson) is also lightweight and it seems we’ve been targeting a bit more physicality, which makes sense given the size of these Premier League teams.summitclaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 1:39 pmTella has electric pace, seemed to love being here and a great chance conversion rate.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Don't agree that Tella is lightweight, certainly not as a winger. He presses really robustly and has a decent amount of upper body strength. Sure, he's unproven at Premier League level but then he's not had a Premier League season on the back of a successful Championship season before.RVclaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 1:45 pmQuite lightweight and failed at PL level last time are the two concerns for me, plus a supposed record breaking transfer fee of 15-20m needed.

He may not be worth the fee demanded by Southampton, but if so I don't think it's because he's not robust enough. His age is a factor - he's just 24 so only really has 18 months before his value tops out.

Benson - number one option currently on the right but is incapable of playing 90 mins and often injured.
Vitinho - offers ZERO as a winger.
Larsen - more of a left winger than a right winger but also an unknown quantity to us fans.
Redmond - Not sure he’s seen as a right winger even though he can obviously play there.
IMO I think we definitely still need a right winger who can start and dovetail with Benson for 60/30 mins.
Also, really don’t see JBG as a winger at this higher level where the game is much quicker.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I keep reading this weird concept that Tella failed in the PL. He's had 17 starts in 2 seasons, when he was 21/22, and has played 1000 less minutes at this level than he did in his one season with us. Hardly a failure, given he's hardly played there.

Yeah I’d say similar to Zaroury or Benson in size and strength, but that’s kinda my point, I was hoping we add more physicality… someone with the robustness of JBG but pace of Tella.

If we don't sign Tella it won't be because of any football reason - it will be because Pace won't pay 20 million to Southampton for him.
We wouldn't be bidding to sign him and creating 'Free Tella' videos if VK doesn't think he is good enough for the PL.

Otherwise much of that it fair if a bit negative. They are all options and the point is we have plenty. We only need another if it is a genuine starting option.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
My thoughts too, seemingly with some sort of commitment to buy irrespective of performance and/or some money paid upfront. The original club would only be able to re-purchase the player during a transfer window anyway and including some sort of 'notice of intent' to do so wouldn't seem an unreasonable contract clause to include. Certainly it might curtail any potential re-sale profits, though there seems almost invariably to be a 'sell-on' clause included anyway doing that nowadays, but it also reduces the initial cost/risk of buying a 'promising' player; they don't all fulfill that potential.
Think how happy we'd have been now had Tella, THB and Maatsen been secured with similar deals; though last summer we perhaps didn't have the credit score necessary to finance such deals for them?

If you believe Southampton Fans they are not sure Tella will even start the next game at championship level.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Your defence is that he couldn't get into a Premier League struggling side as he was emerging and being given opportunities then was farmed out on loan to a league below; such was the impression of him at his club? I would suggest that smells very much of "failure". Ages 21-24 is very much where you should be showing your development.quoonbeatz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 2:03 pmI keep reading this weird concept that Tella failed in the PL.

I can undestand people not seeing that as failure but it doesn't guarantee that he will always be such.
I like him. I think he was very good for us last season. He had poor games but he also had some quality moments (the goal away against Coventry stands out). I wouldn't think £20m is a wise investment for our club.
Whatever our current ownership do, I support their move. They have overwhelmingly shown sound judgement.
