Joffys more than ready to feature off the bench for us in a side that don’t just play kick and run.

Don’t get me wrong, he needs consistent 90 mins but under Marsch’s tactics he has no hope

Yeah probably badly worded - he is far from ready for a start is probably more accurate.

He desperately needs to playing week in week out to develop more and he isn't getting that here

From Plettenberg;

X News #Rutter: Hard poker yesterday about financial details but now there is a total agreement between the clubs! Been told it’s a total package of possible €40m transfer fee. Contract until 2028! Announcements of the clubs are prepared. #LUFC @SkySportDE

€40m? Think we all know who won that poker game

Could turn out to be another Erling Haarland, and we're getting in at the ground floor

Around £35m which isn't far off what was being thrown around anyway in the reports.

And that will be the total potential value probably more like £25m with 10 in addons

Aye I'd imagine there's some kind of add ons to take it up to that figure.

Not phantom ones this time either it seems. Still don't think he's a hit the ground running player and we'll see some inconsistency from him. That aside it's a huge talent we're getting that could turn out to be a real difference maker. A risk like all transfers but the potential is definitely there in spades with this lad.

Bigger question is whether we have the right guy at the helm to help him fulfill that potential.

That part is my biggest concern with it.

I'd wager the answer will be no.

Hopefully building a squad to help recruit the next coach.
