Amaechi to sign today ?

Mon Jun 27, 2022 1:04 pm

Cardiff are close to finalising a deal for Hamburg winger Xavier Amaechi. Previously Arsenal academy prospect. Deal looked done last week but will be completed today. #transfer https://t.co/FYuhkQQ8L5



Bolton Wanderers have opted not to bring Xavier Amaechi back to the club next season after the winger's loan spell came to an end.

The 21-year-old joined Wanderers last summer on loan on an initial six-month deal from German side Hamburg making 10 appearances, Hamburg offered the League 1 club Amaechi a free transfer to the Lancashire club.


Amaech had been suffering a fractured metatarsal in a pre-season friendly last summer against Preston North End, but recovered from the operation.

Would make 10m for Murphy look a bit silly.

Another quite unknown player who I know little about. It makes me wonder, and what are other peoples thoughts, do we have an extensive scouting system, good contacts within the game now, or are we adopting a Brentford like approach and using specific data to sign players?

It's starting to look a it like that isn't it?

Interesting I can't wait for the season to start :ayatollah:

That approach hasn't done Brentford any harm. We've had a twatful of players over the years that have flattered to deceive.Doing your homework before you sign someone is refreshing.

I was thinking that last week. It does seem like they all "have a good engine", are hungry to prove themselves and are pacey.

When Brentford were signing most of their players nobody had really heard of them and even those they had heard of hadn't been very impressive with their previous clubs but they fitted into their system perfectly.

It's going to be interesting summer and start to the season :thumbright:

Makes a nice change to have topics like this rather than the usual "Murphy needs a run of games and a decent manager .....", "Bacuna isn't a fullback but .........." rubbish :lol: :lol:

Fans saying he didnt set the world alight at Bolton, and couldnt get back into their team once he was fit, doesnt bode well for me.

Should be looking at better IMO

Agreed. It is refreshing, although, let's see how it pans out come August :bluescarf:

If this sort of response makes you feel better then great.

I'll post my opinions, who I like as a signing and who I dont. Apart from Tanner, who I ultimately accepted was a player with promise having been given info on this board re his liks to other clubs, tell me which signings I have disliked?

Also tell me which signings i have suggested are decent?

Ill ignore the misery guts, as its a little childish.

I don't think you're a misery guts Barclay, but I must say you do have consistent negativity to all things CCFC.

I get it that some people see the glass as half empty........but you seem to see the glass as just a spit in it. I know you are balanced in your views, but sometimes maybe you over balance. All that said you add a lot to this forum so keep up the good work. :bluebird:

A far more appropriate response that deserves a proper reply.

I acvept fully that I am more negative than many posters, but I dont like to accept sub standard, or, in my eyes, a board that decides that we should accept sub standard, when we don't necessarily need to.

I certainly dont advocate spending big, but spending appropriately.

Millwall just bought for 1.7M, and had a 1.5M bid turned down. Shows money is there, and from a club that has not had our riches over the years.

Has the 'club' given us anything to get excited about over the last few years? No, in my opinion.

Not adding to my negativity, but its very worrying that we pin hopes and excitement on a player that a league club didn't want after he was offered to them for nothing, and while he was there on loan, he struggled to get into their side, and when he did he didnt 'set the world alight'

You can't tell me Im the only one who thinks this. There are some posters here who simply back their posts by ridicule and criticism then try and get backing by pretending to be funny.

FAN not the plural said that and you just copied that from a post Annis posted off a FAN .
Accept you do not like sub standard but your negatively to the board is farcical.

Farcical eh? Fair enough if this is the sort of player you want.

Or do you want me to agree to everything you say? Ill make sure to get your permission next time.

Just because millwall have money doesn’t mean that we should. The “riches” we had have been wasted on transfers & wages - Warnock has a lot to answer for but then the bottom line is that the Board backed him. We rarely make a big profit on a player, nothing like those up west seem able to do time and time again.

a leopard cannot change it spots unless you paint it whilte! So think everyone is wasting their time pointing out something that as been obvious for long time.......
So why spoil his enjoyment just let him be happy saying what he does afterall it's his choice....

Mon Jun 27, 2022 5:55 pm

Swansea do this very well, and I think certain of your points are very valid.

I actually think if Millwall have money, then actually we should have more. Larger crowds, capitol city. I also wonder if we have larger season ticket sales?

Not just that but many (if not all) of the free agents almost certainly have a signing on fee that the club needs to pay.
Aaron Ramsey = free agent dies this make him not up to standard as there’s no transfer fee?
