What the hell is going on? Daprela started 5 times for the club, including twice against Arsenal, once against Chelsea and once against Man City, and he wasn't shown up personally in any of those games. The kid is only 19 and has oodles of potential, so why in God's name sell him?
As things stand, if Ilunga picks up an injury, we will have Spector at left back against Chelsea again!
I am close to speechless. I have defended Sullivan & Gold up until now but I cannot, for the life of me, make sense of this deal. Brescia and Nani are involved again of course. Does this guy know something dangerous? Is he blackmailing the club? That's the only thing that makes sense to me. Both Diamanti and Daprela have been given away - and neither were on huge wages so that's not the answer.
I'm willing to have good money on Daprela joining a big Italian club in the future. This sale is madness!
This deal is as dodgy as when we gave Diamanti away. Why are they asset stripping our club for nothing? What does Nani know.
ReplyDeleteThis bunch of f**kers are as dodgy as the last. I'm honestly starting to hope we go down, get sold for next to nothing to Tony Fernandes and get Pardew back.
MADNESS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhats all the fuss about,DIAMANTI was a one trick pony,all he was good at was free kicks,and DAPRELLA when I watched him lacked pace and got left standing playing against COLE of CHELSEA and WALCOTT of ARSENAL.At 19 he is not going to get that much quicker.GRANT is attempting to improve each position in the team.TOURE of ARSENAL looks to be the replacement left back or TIENE of the IVORY COAST
ReplyDeletesold is a strong word as I pointed out they have given him away some sort of bargain basement BOGOF deal
ReplyDeleteGot say though if it means we get Andrea Caracciolo on a equally as good deal from them I'd be happy

ReplyDeletehaha some fans make me laugh - asset stripping? a club that is in £100m debt with a current ground worth £10m-15m. Put your brain into gear.
What is shocking is that we keep Spector and get rid of Daprela. Zola seems so good right now!
ReplyDeleteSome people may make big money on these players one day but we will never know. I suspect it will be under the table and quite possibly tax free!

ReplyDelete...and your point is caller?
So this deal makes perfect sense to you does it?
Take a £6m signing, your second best scorer last season and give him to the ex-technical director's new club for pennies, just a year after he signed.
Then give away, (reportedly on a FREE 5 year deal) one of your best genuine young prospects, to same said ex-director.
If you don't smell a rat pal, you must have your head up your arse.
If he does have dirt on the club, who's to say how much further he will go. I can smell another £20 million law suit coming!
ReplyDeletesimple answer. kid knew he was good, unappreciated, unused, wanted to go, they let him. blackmail, honestly - drama queens.
