    Sounds like the Madueke deal is basically done now. 🙃

    Hopefully my concerns about him are completely unfounded and he is a fantastic addition to the team.

    Hopefully we are at the the “Let’s agree to meet in the middle and here’s a nice bottle of whisky” stage of big Vic negotiations

      I’m seeing lots of chatter now about how we haven’t spoken to them in a couple of days now, and the deal is about to collapse. Though none of the sources are very reliable.

      Personally, I think we probably have gone radio silent with them for a day or two, but only as a negotiation tactic. It’s all part of the posturing dance. Their director has been puffing his chest out and talking shit recently. I think this is Berta’s way of saying “Oh yeah? Well we have clout too. And it’s time you realized it. Stop fucking about and come meet in the middle.”

    Holy shit we bid £1m for Olivia Smith from Liverpool… That’s the one player on top of my wishlist for the women’s team

      I didn’t realise she is very young, too. Looks like 'pool mostly played her on the right. I wonder if she would be a good option on the left, as well.

        From the LFC site:

        Smith has the ability to play as a midfielder but believes she’s now found the position best suited to her skillset. “I have to say, since I’ve been here [at Sporting], the right wing is kind of my spot,” she revealed. “I love taking players on one-v-one facing up but even [with] my physicality and speed to get by players. So, I definitely think left or right wing, but mainly right wing is where I’ve been playing a lot and been the best in.”

          Presumably she’ll be played more on the left for us, at least for now. We literally just signed Kelly as well, and we need someone to help Foord out.

        If Renée develops her correctly we’re going to have a very solid player for a few years to come.
