JonnyJonnyRowe 568 Posted January 30 He could sign a contract today to join Ajax in June on a Bosman. So there's not a hope in hell of us seeing 5m euros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodlyOtsemobor 2,459 Posted January 30 Decent move for him if it happens and if we can somehow snatch 5m out of them then why not, we have McCallum and Montoia waiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,448 Posted January 30 Can walk away free in June. Doubt we can afford to offer him another year if we stay in the Champs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,438 Posted January 30 He can just sign a Bosman and wait it out, but if they really want him now (a la Cantwell to Rangers) then there's a deal to be made. Would around £4m for a 28yo starting international who is first choice here & we would need to replace sound so far fetched? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,401 Posted January 30 This would be a real shame as I really like Dimi and I get the impression when he comes over to supporters that he really likes the club. I just presumed he had at least another 1.5 years on his contract, didn't realise he was this close to being out the door to be honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,325 Posted January 30 Would like to see Dimi stay tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,142 Posted January 30 Dimi's the better between him and McCallum at this exact moment in time, but McCallum could be the better long-term bet - he really needs games. If we could get that money and Montoia is ready, that's not a bad outcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrdi 382 Posted January 30 I like Dimi. But a move to Ajax at this stage of his career would be great for him and if we can get anywhere near €5m for him, it’d be decent business for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A decent sum for a player who can leave for free in 6months is something you’d think long and hard about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love him to stay, well underrated, but needs must. We no longer have PL money, or even parachute payments - £30m less income this summer. So I expect him to be off.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,927 Posted January 30 Even though he's done OK this season, I wouldn't be disappointed to see him leave on a free in the summer to be honest. €5m for him now would be an absolute gift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know to be honest, but I remember listening to a pod, possibly the pink un pod ( although could be wrong it could have been tnc) mentioned before that there's rumblings of he's close to being the next cab off the rank.

Grando 283 Posted January 30 I’d be amazed if anyone gives us anything approaching £5m at this point in the proceedings. If we were offered one or two million I suspect we’d snap their hands off. So, let’s hope I’m wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wimbledoncanary 10 Posted January 31 Pinkun have discredited this …..but they have done that before 🥵. would make sense to try and cash out on him , can we see him signing a new norwich contract ? I cant see the club offering him similar terms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If true, I'd take the money and run. Sorensen would be OK as a stand in LB in a flat back 4. I don't see him fitting Wagner's system where the fullbacks push high up the pitch. You need a natural left footer, more pace and attacking intent. When Sorensen was at LB we also had Skipp in midfield providing that extra layer of protection.

I'm not advocating Lungi as a starter, but he is a decent back up option, albeit with a very different style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Sorensen was at LB we also had Skipp in midfield providing that extra layer of protection. Sort of agree, but he played there in a Farke system, and Farke also likes his full-backs high. Partially agree in that Lungi won't necessarily widen the pitch anywhere near as much on the overlap and hasn't got the pace for it, but I'm inclined to say considering that we have Stacey on the other side, a more traditional full-back might not be such a bad thing for greater defensive solidity.
