Isn't Jayden Stockley the English Jayden Stockley?I thought Sam Surridge was the English Jayden Stockley.

I think they are the same person.
Apparently we bid 15 in the summer and hes had a great season so makes sense. I still marvel we can take a punt on this kind of player.The guy that broke the story is saying the fee is €20m+bonuses
But Fabrizio says €12m+bonuses

He'll know just what to do with a goal in front and a soccer ball.Surely a chant based on snooker loopy is on the cards:

Eli Junior... Kroupi"
I'm just glad for Dragonm8 that he's got a thread here that won't be merged.
Well you f√cking know best as usual...forget my input....it's just that we might need another striker at some point if we aspire to get into Europe with our results from now until May .There’s nothing bizarre about it.
We, alongside a number of top clubs were after him, but Lorient are in a race for promotion so understandably reluctant for him to go.
Given he’s one for the future a deal was done that ensured he was ours but also appeased Lorient, otherwise it would have been left until the summer when, in all probability, the player would have gone elsewhere.
I’ve seen nothing about us paying £12m or whatever upfront. There may be a nominal upfront payment on contract but certainly nowhere near the full cost.
Two things can be true. This deal in isolation looks sensible, young lad getting games and continuing to develop before coming to us, lovely. Of course we'd have liked a striker for the here and now, but if the players aren't out there for whatever reason, there's not much we can do. Possible that Evanilson will be back sooner than anticipated so who knows.Well you f√cking know best as usual...forget my input....it's just that we might need another striker at some point if we aspire to get into Europe with our results from now until May .
Imho it’s not in black knights’ interest to shaft L’orient and I doubt many clubs would stump up in one go some of the values quoted for someone playing in the French second division. Likes of Mousset had great potential but came to little. Suitable add-ons would work for both clubs.Let’s be honest, it does stink. If we’ve got him on the cheap then that’s obviously great for us but not sure how the Lorient fans will feel if they’ve lost that once in a lifetime generational talent for a less than market rate fee.
But you’ve got to play the system and most clubs have these link ups across the Europe/World.
This type of deal is exactly what the model is set up for.
Also maybe wise to loan him there next season to grow into the first divisionHe's also come out saying that he had no intention of leaving this season, wants to achieve promotion with Lorient. This deal allows him to work towards that, then get the step up he wants. I think that's a positive.
Isn't Mbappe the French Mbappe?Ok so finally - we have signed the french mbappe, so he is either a football player or a 90s song from hansen, Not sure which

It was actually merged by DJ, but then merged back.
So originally merged, then unmerged, if that's possible.
Ask DJ
If you didn't merge anything in the first instance, perhaps the thread would have followed it's natural path.There were two threads. They were merged, I chose the title of the second thread as it had the full players name in it. You are the thread originator as your original post was the oldest…
…and now everyone can sleep better tonight.
