Laudrupsleftfoot 12,290 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Thought he looked great against Hearts in the 5-0 win but he’s looked miles off it so far in his games post the big injury. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,993 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Agreeing to pay £4 million for Cortes was utter madness even without any injury. He has hardly played at a high level. Having been seriously injured last season I can't believe we didn't change the deal. Lens paid £4m for him and after 4 first team games and 6 months we take him on loan with an option to buy. Think he had 7 appearances and a bad injury for us yet we go ahead with a crazy deal. BlueAvenger and MacBoyd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the way his previous loan panned out. Do I think any such agreement exists?… No. If there was that sort of clause in the deal then it wouldn’t be an obligation to buy would it?

RossS1873 2,710 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Changing the loan option to an obligation after an injury just looks more and more maddening by the day. If that's what Lens wanted, to do a deal we should have walked away and looked elsewhere. And of course the other option we couldn't afford ends up playing and scoring in the CL. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 21,707 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Fucking ridiculous we agreed to an obligation to buy for a guy that spent 95% of his loan deal injured last season.

Leftpegcoopz11 5,171 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Can't be arsed anymore with our manager using the word "project" (twice) when relating to us.

Wish he'd tell us how long this "project" is. Used to be a "story". What chapter we at. Plus, for a manager that frowns upon bad tackles, or I'd just say making actual tackles during a game(which we don't do much of). We seem to get plenty injuries from them in training ffs.

I mentioned how strange that seemed to be too and was told it was down to the way Lens play, and I couldn't be bothered to check if that was true. I just didn't think they'd want to let some kid they'd just signed leave so soon for more or less their money back, if they had any kind of faith in him.

With the mess we've gotten ourselves in with Hagi there is no way a team would go for a deal like that. In hindsight would have been a good outcome for us I guess.
