What do you guys make of the 49ers involvement, where do you see it going and have any of you got interested in the Niners because of their involvement???

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Jun 05, 2021 6:48 pm  

Emi Buendia has agreed to sign for Villa. Superb signing for them, I wish we got him last season.

Think there`s been a delay in signing a LB as Alioski might stay.
Even if he stays I reckon we still need to sign one of the 2 we are interested in.
Whilst I like Alioski for me he is more a winger than a LB.
30 million for Buendia isn`t bad business either.
Neves at 30 million would be a better signing though.

I think the long term goal is for Paraag Marathe to take over from Radrazani, and for the 49ers to become the majority owners. The Lowey family are also involved, and word is that the 49ers had a lot to do with bringing them on board.
I think they also have big plans to develop ER, and the job the 49ers did building the Levi stadium was what made Leeds choose the 49ers over the PSG owners. Plans are already being made to turn ER into a 50,000+ stadium.

They're making all the right noises so far.

We'll sign a LB even if Alioski stays I think. Javi Galan for £4m is the new favourite, apparently.

From what I`ve read of Galan he will be an absolute steal at £4m.
Then there`s the other option Peraud another good player I`d be happy with.

Cant see 49ers ever letting Paraag leave them hes too valuable an employee.

Galan meant to be quality by all accounts

Yes very good business that. I’d settle for Pereira from WBA though.

They won't, but Marathe is currently vice chairman as the 49ers are minority shareholders, but they will become majority shareholders in the next few years when they buy the club from Radrazani, Marathe will then takeover as chairman.
