[Albion] Charalampos Kostoulas

[Yes Chef]

Pretty sure he’s been on holiday in Dubai recently, also no airport in Pireaus

F*cking massive ferry terminal though ...

....we'll see him in Newhaven in a couple of weeks time

And a cruise ship terminal so we also need someone on lookout in Southampton for him arriving there.

Cuiabano is bubbling away nicely.

Gone to Forest.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Gone to Forest.

Link please?

Last reports I see here are that Botafogo rejected an offer from us of €9m and that we have offered higher wages than Forest.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Link please?

Forest's interest has been known for weeks. The other poster said he'd gone to them. I do not think that is true.

I don't think he has gone to Forest yet either.
The article I read stated Botafoga value him at at least €10m and that he'll be more valuable after the club world cup.

I think I read somewhere that Forest were purchasing three players including this lad? Us coming along and putting an offer in has complicated the deal somewhat.

If it allows Lyon to play in the Europa League next season I’m all for all three going to Forest

Well, they made £34m quid from City today!

Two look like they are definitely going to Forest. It appears we are still bidding on Cuiabano but last reports I see here are two days old.

Drove a hard bargain as I understand it, received more than Cherki’s release clause.

It seems they had a set price for all three, then we came along.

Looking forward to Warren discussing Charalampos Kostoulas

 

[Nightfall]

According to this article today : https://www.gazzetta.gr/football/su...istiri-tis-mpraiton-ston-nearo-senter-kai-pos

He will have medicals today.
Kostoulas and his family where extremely impressed by how well Birghton handled everything during the negotiations.
They explaiend them how Kostoulas will be developed, that he will get immediate PL time.

Wonder what Tzimas thinks about this. On the one and he gets a mate, someone he’ll know, someone who speaks his language, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they both speak great English, on the other hand he’s now got a player who’s even more highly rated joining, that plays in his position, and will be competing for his position in the national team.

I wonder whether we're effectively trying to build two first teams, at least in the attacking positions. Given the growing number of international games, our hope of establishing ourselves as regular European qualifiers, our injury record and energetic style of play, and the fact that most of our players are either very old or very young, it would kinda make sense to assume that any given player will only be available and on form for about half of each season's games.

I am sure we are. As has been the ambition for a while, we need two good players for every position (and 43 more in the squad to cover for all the inevitable injuries).

Poor old Warren. The more the team progress the harder it becomes for him. Thoughts and prayers etc.
