Transfer Rumour Jeffrey Schlupp (120 Viewers)

[Deity]

Would be a strange pick up as would be completing for a place with Rudoni I assume.

Had a good run at cm towards the end of 2023 so let’s hope he can still perform to that level. Not played a lot of football since then. Judging by Lampard’s comments last night, he clearly wants another winger so maybe that’ll be Schlupp

He has also played left back for Palace and we certainly need more dynamic options in that position.

I disagree we already have 2 left backs. Signing another would be a huge misuse of funds

We're still really light in midfield. Another injury and we're pretty much down to the bare bones.

Good thing about Schlupp is he can pretty much play as a 6, 8 or as an AM centrally or on the left.

That versatility will be invaluable going into the final 3/4 months of the season.

Cracking signing to add some much-needed physicality to the midfield and versatility to the squad.
But the biggest bonus is he already comes with a song:

Rhythm is a dancer,
Jeff Schlupp is the answer,
You can play him anywhere
Forward or defender,
On the left or centre,
Scoring goals from everywhere

Second bit?

@Saddlebrains is this happening mate? Be a good experienced signing

 

[SleepyGinger]

Happy with this one if it happens

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

He looks very overweight

If we pull this off will be a great addition

when was the last time we have been linked to a prem regular let alone close to doing a deal

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Schlupp would be a way better signing than Patterson

 

[David O'Day]

Schlupp would be a way better signing than Patterson

much, much better

Not even really debatable right?

 

[HJones23]

If this goes through would we assume the deal for Rak-Sakyi is off then ? Would be great to bring both in but can't see DK digging deep enough unless a midfielder is going to be sold.

I dont know about that one, you are aware of what website this is right?
There has been a literal debate on whether its spelt ‘Forest’ or (the wrong way) Forrest

Schlupp and Matondo …. Crikey how many left wingers do we want

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yes, they are one of a few clubs in this league not in any trouble regarding ffp

I don't think you understand it. It doesn't matter if the owner covers the losses, it is a breach of the FFP / PSR if they accumulate losses of >£39m for a 3 year rolling period, for 2022 and 2023 combined they have an operating loss of £29m so they've got £10m loss headroom essentially for the financial year ending 2024. Though there seems to be a one off allowance of £2.5m for the cost of living, so slightly more room.

Not all of those losses will count towards a beach of the P&S rules.

For instance they've invested heavily in the stadium, have invested in a new training ground, they have a category one academy, which are all exempt.

Still, i expect they're very close to the wire.

Your operating loss doesn't account for investments does it?

No. We have one left back and a Jay Dasilva.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Where have you seen the link to Matondo, because if we’re looking at bringing him in then Schlupp is definitely being brought in to play CM and LB as Matondo is predominantly a LW

edit: just caught up with other threads, strength in depth I guess, or EMC is out for longer than we think. Or simply Schlupp turned us down

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!

[JSL]

The fact that Stoke are also supposedly in for him suggests that Robins had him on the radar when he was manager here

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Oh really you might be right. Coincidentally I was reading their accounts the other day online and it indicated it was but probably incorrect given it was their local rag.

 

[SBT]

He looks very overweight

Danny Swanson levels of chonkiness in those photos

Frank wants to play with A back 4 but can’t with JDS. Therefore we really one have 1 proper left back.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Schlupp has played in a lot more positions the older he has got . He's earmarked for CM and LWB/LB in my opinion

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Brereton Diaz is 25

Southampton basically relegated themselves when they pushed to sign him. Such a strange player and career.

 

[skybluecam]

Schlupp and Matondo with perm options on both would be unreal
