That's the big lad from wolves signed and in the building. Photo shoot done.
02 Jul 2025 21:57:26
Is it not the lad from Peterborough?
02 Jul 2025 21:58:18
He's not from wolves He's from perterbrugh is he not?
02 Jul 2025 22:04:53
Stevie may mean we have signed two.
02 Jul 2025 22:09:30
Only about 140 miles away but yip.
02 Jul 2025 22:11:26
So are you saying that Nasser Djiga is also done then?
02 Jul 2025 22:13:27
Stevieg? You mean fernandez or is there another?
02 Jul 2025 22:14:38
It is lads aye my mistake apologies.
02 Jul 2025 22:25:57
Yeah, it's not Djiba unfortunately.
02 Jul 2025 22:27:22
Stevie are you talking about the Wolves CB Djiga or Emmanuel Fernandez from Peterborough?
02 Jul 2025 22:30:15
3.5m for a league one player hope they know what they are doing i would think better value abroad for that money.
02 Jul 2025 22:49:27
I would be disappointed to see us spend that money on a position that is not priority atm. We still need 1 LW and 2 RWs as a matter of urgency.
02 Jul 2025 22:53:30
Sorry again lads I'm not familiar with either of 2 players and had forgot about Fernandez altogether so when I seen the photo shoot without a name I ignorantly assumed it was the lad from wolves.
On another note as someone above has pointed out 3.5m on a player with not many professional games and none above league 1 is pretty steep. I'd expect him to be a starter at that price for us. Throw in coady and souttar, nsiala, and if we get the wolves player it could start pointing to a potential back 3?
02 Jul 2025 22:53:44
Was it 3.5 m I'm surprised at that hopefully done there home work . If we had half decent defence last year we'd have won league . Most games we went behind.
02 Jul 2025 22:58:24
Where are you seeing he cost 3.5m?
02 Jul 2025 23:21:58
Glad to see us add in some recovery pace in their, been badly needed for way too long.
02 Jul 2025 23:52:21
We shouldn't be surprised at £3.5m, if that indeed is what the fee was, as Norwich made a similar if not better offer for the lad last season but couldn't agree personal terms. So he must have something about him.
03 Jul 2025 00:20:51
My star, Sky Sports are reporting the fee as £3.5m with add-ons. It seems a lot for a player with his profile, but I've never seen him play, so just got to trust the recruitment team.
03 Jul 2025 00:29:40
With propper, davies and Souttar all away by the end of this season.
Either sold or OOC.
bringing in solid young defenders is a priority.
Can see Fernandez and Nsiala (once he adjust fully) becoming a good defensive partenership.
Was reading an article recently saying koppen was plannning on signing both Igamane and Jefte for PSV prior to joining Rangers.
03 Jul 2025 00:31:17
Beale that's the reported fee online, I dunno if that's true ncliding the add ins or if that's the flat fee with add ins to come.
03 Jul 2025 00:44:24
2.9 mill euros Star.
Current valuer - 350 k.
was valued at 75 k start of last season.
though value means nothing as we saw with the bassey deal, released by leicester purely due to covid and cost cutting, we got a bargain LB from an EPL club, who was considered a backup LB. and we all know how that turned out when Gio Deployed him at LCB due to team injuries, and he became our no1 record club sale at 23 mill.
he has had a good season at Fulham, 66 duels won and a 90% pass rate this season, his value is rising again at 25 mill current worth,
Ajax and Fulham shelled out a combined 45.5 mill euros on Bassey in
12 months.
No wonder when you seen the lightwork he made of Lyons best attackers and of course he had top talents like Jude Bellingham and Christopher Nkunku is his back pocket when we played their respective teams.
He is way under value for his qualities as a CB, and should be in the 40 - 50 mill range in my opinion.
But he is still only 25 so he may hit the value by 27?
03 Jul 2025 00:50:01
We need a big lad at the back because our CB where constantly bullied by every big forward in the league last season. Have my doubts about this one though mainly because we spent 3.5mill on him but time will tell and I hope he proves me wrong.
03 Jul 2025 01:04:16
Cheers BearBlue.
03 Jul 2025 01:26:13
I'll get behind the boy but Peterborough fans are glad he is away.
03 Jul 2025 01:48:54
Transfermarkt saying 2.9 mill pounds aka 3.3 mill euros.
03 Jul 2025 02:27:31
To be fair had a look and looks decent.
03 Jul 2025 02:31:26
Pace? Not what i seen looked slow but lots last ditch tackles like helander
Big big lad.
03 Jul 2025 02:58:33
Finally we have a 6 ft 5 cb aggressive who will dominate in the air, these are exactly the types we need to win this league, and with plenty of room for Russel Martin to develop him even more.
03 Jul 2025 07:00:47
Varying reports on his height some say 6'6 / 5 / 4 so whichever it is he's a good height, a poster to he's great with ball at his feet, he can dribble like amoroso and score thw odd goal. Good in the air and I never noticed pacey either but watched a few clips and he isn't slow.
Peterborough fans overall don't rate him I read one a their pages on instagram and their laughing at how they managed to 1 sell him atall 2 to a club of our size and 3 that we paid that kind of money for him.
Doesn't look good
For the sake of fairness though there is a handful of fans saying he's a rough diamond and just needs to cut our thw wee errors and he'll be some player.
I'm expecting an amoroso lads, he's going to be a good player but the odd mistake that's going to cost us goals.
03 Jul 2025 07:26:12
It's not 3.5 million the boy that announced that deleted it quickly.
03 Jul 2025 08:26:51
Boy is 6ft 4
Asked my mate about him
Says he's fairly decent
Very strong
Solid n not scared of a tackle
Commanding
N clears his lines
Good in the air
All stuff we have been lacking
Hopfully he dose well here
Who knows but type of defencive cb we are needing
Mixed in with a experienced cb
This could be a shrewd signing.
03 Jul 2025 08:35:37
Seen similar comments but some saying he's guilty of the odd mistake, hopefully we can iron that out n develop the lad further with a bit of experience supporting him ?.
03 Jul 2025 09:37:51
Hey guys why are we so concerned about what we sell or buy players for? Let our Bosses worry about that, they should know what they are doing.
03 Jul 2025 09:38:46
What price do u have for him storm?
03 Jul 2025 10:08:19
Seen undisclosed then 2.9 then 3.5 then undisclosed, so feck knows.
03 Jul 2025 10:48:37
The manager certainly knows better than me, prob why they got him and didn't phone me . I doubt they checked on here though just to be sure.
