Sabri Lamouchi: “I asked the club to sign them”

Sabri Lamouchi:


Joel Bagan aged 21 and Eli King aged 21 this year.


"To be completely clear, I was talking with the club one month ago, before the Swansea game, and I asked the club to sign them at this moment, I had no reply, “he said of Bagan and King.

"Joel Bagan and Eli King, I spoke with the players and told them what I asked the club. I don't know what the issue is. Joel and Eli are happy with us and they will be at Burnley on Monday. We will see."


The pair are out of contract at the end of this season, but Lamouchi's preference would be to keep them both. That will likely be resolved in the coming days and weeks.

I wish he had asked the club to sign kaba kipre and philogene i thought he was going to walk if he did' nt get what he wanted
i must have dreamt it.

I know, I don’t know what to make of him???

I know No other clubs were asking for him to manage them when Dalman asked him and No one so far has even showed interest in him???

They’ve blatantly ignored him, so surely that’s No respect for him.

Sorry, how are we supposed to sign Kaba, Kipre and Philogene? It would be an ask that would be impossible.

Sol probably told him " come to Cardiff with those 3 clowns we can earn a quick buck when they sack us"

tan could try clearing the debt perhapsothetwise we are in groundhog day.

playing devils advocate here, the club might have been waiting to see if he will still be our manager after this season, otherwise they might have given new deals out to players he wanted to keep and him not even be here, so i think once he has got his deal sorted i can see the club giving these 2 new deals. although i don't know why, i think we have seen plenty of bagan and i dont rate him

Sounds like the embargo isn’t being lifted early even if we pay up the Sala fee entirely so sounds like it makes no difference and we may as well spend the next year continuing to contest it in courts. Completely unreasonable from the EFL and I bet that horrid tw*t Ridsdale is loving it

Absolutely, that's a given.

But we currently live in the real (surreal CCFC) world where that is not happening in the short term.

We are not even sure paying the full fee to Nantes will remove the EFL embargo. It would definitely leave us with less money to even look at signing the likes of Kipre and Kaba (we ain't getting Philogene).

Kaba and Kipre are being recalled by their clubs and Philly doesn’t want to stay from what I read elsewhere so signing them isn’t an option…
I still think Baglan will make it at Championship level but I know that most think he won’t

Yep, the shambles for next season has already started and we haven't finished this one yet. Simply put this money for Sal a has to be paid rightly or wrongly as it effecting the whole operation of the club on many levels. Tans stubbornness is dragging the whole club down. Ffs pay it and let's move forward. In fact Tan could solve most of his problems today by getting rid of Dalman and Choo and paying up the Sala fee.

I think everyone is jumping to conclusions. When the su ject was risen there was no idea as to which division we would be in next season, there was no idea as to who would be manager next season so in some respect there was no decision to be made. As far L'amouchi not having what he asks for, all managers don't get everything they want it's the same throughout football and life in general.
We all know that we had a shitstorm of a season so let's draw a line under it and hope that just maybe Tan has now started to finally trust a manager
