Not sure what game it was, but apparently it was before the lockdown and towards the final minutes of the match. Since then, he has not really been considered for selection. We have then tried to sell him this month and even accepted offers...but he's refused them all and wants to go as a free agent.
If this is all true...he can go F himself and I'm glad Pioli is doing what he's doing.
Btw...I don't have a source for that. But I did read that somewhere (I wanna say R&B) just recently and I believe it came from some twitter account.
I read that too. I think he has every right not to go anywhere else, considering he's only got 6 months left in his contract. But, yeah, would've been nice to get rid of him and bring someone else.
SES ... interesting option as a short-term solution as back up for LW. Hauge needs to be loaned out at least for 1 season to get him tactically up to speed. He seems a bit confused with the ball at times, and just try to run around with the ball. I think his movement needs to be better.
I'm quietly optimistic Simakan would join us. I think Strasbourg know they're in a huge relegation scrap and is really reluctant to sell him to any club this winter. I read that RBL are offering a loan back option for the rest of the season. I think we should offer to loan Kalulu to them for 6 months to get him some playing time if that could get us Simakan. But, I think that's why we seem unwilling to offer much money for midfielders.
In the meantime, reports suggest Thauvin has decided NOT to extend his contract with Marseille.
Conti to Fiorentia is also suggested ... I don't mind if it's a loan with option to buy or just a dry loan for the rest of the season. I think Conti still has something to offer, so we don't need to redeem Dalot who has been ... not fully convincing so far.
Oh, Saelemakers has also recommended his teammate from Anderlecht, Sambi Lokonga. DM.
