Rayan Cherki

Pretty poor today against Saint-e. Both teams suffering from a European hangover.
 
Yeah precisely plus we need to generate some money to sign midfielders and strikers

If Cherki is available at around £25m, that would be a solid buy. Cunha at £60 something million, not so much since we would still need to buy a striker.

Would a club like Lyon sell us a couple of baguettes for 25m, let alone cherki? I don’t see them selling us anyone for that cheap, 40-50 is what they would ask from a club like us
 
I think it may be low because he's only 21 and isn't even a full international yet.
He also only has 1 year left on his contract and Lyon are in serious financial difficulties which could lead to forced relegation. Those two factors mean they are desperate for a transfer fee this summer rather than him walking free next year.

Good point. That would definitely be a factor as well.

We definitely need to be all over this then

We really need this type of 10: full of flair, make things happen, and can run at defenders.

Can't gamble on Amad, as it seems like he couldn't finish a season without injuries.

Need Ornstein and Whitwell to talk it up
 
Gives me Sancho vibes this guy.
The upside is just too high and the fee too low for this to even matter. Cherki obviously isn't the finished article but you could be getting a player who has the talent to be one of the best players in the league for the price of a Dan James.
 
Still worth a punt at this price

Not sure what his price is. Contrary to reports he does not have a release clause and the 20M price was a gentlemans agreement for the January window only. He is now being linked with Liverpool and Barca amongst others and the price has already risen to over 30M amidst reports that the club are hoping for a bidding war as it seems they are rather strapped for cash.

Cherki and Delap for a combined 60 million would be good business
 
Oh right. Still decent considering what we need.

How is it that much?
I'm just being cynical. I know in theory that we are supposed to believe that Cherki will only cost £30m but because it's only a gentleman's agreement and not a release clause, I fear the worst. He's the player I'd want the most though for the 10 position. I think he's more talented than Cunha and a really exciting option.

Would cost a lot less too I'm sure though I honestly wouldn't mind having both if were at all possible but one can dream.

Bidding war unlikely, he is on his last year contract.
 
Cherki has talent, undoubtedly.

However, he will need a slight adjustment to his hairstyle...as it stands, he looks set to do The Charleston :lol:

I'd have it in the contract 'sort barnet, 350k a week'
 
Where have you pulled that figure from? Delap £30 release clause, right? Cherki will be in the last year of his contract and I thought that I read he'd be available for around 30m
I was just doubting the gentleman's agreement that was in place regarding Cherki. Though you are right, he shouldn't be going for £60m.
 
What am I missing with this endless wankfest over this bang average player? People are talking about him like he is the second coming of christ, yet he did nothing over 210 mins against us, did nothing this week in France, but it's just endless excuses about how he really is good and none of these performances are a fair representation. His league numbers aren't even that impressive, and that's the French league, I could score in the French league.

Is he really good in football manager? the new hipster signing? what am I missing?
 
Cherki, Delap and Cunha. It's a good mix of attacking options. Sell Mount, Anthony, Sancho and Rashford.

Bruno in central midfield given there's 3 defensive players behind him and a number 6 opposite his position.

I mean he scored two goals against us. If that’s nothing I’m not sure what something is.
