Pape Matar Sarr

[THFCSPURS19]

From an RMC (reliable French outlet) journalist:



Pape Matar Sarr is leaving. Transfer almost completed to Tottenham. Sarr's entourage has just returned to Metz to complete the deal. Urgent sale because planned in front of the DNCG, like Diallo last year. The price has therefore dropped to… 10M + 5M bonus

 

[Guntz]

FWIW he's apparently been heavily scouted by some of the big boys

For €10m seems like a no-brainer to me

 

[Pekoni]

Wait... His name is Pape not Papa? I'm disappointed ?

 

[The Scarecrow]

He's supposed to be highly rated. Never seen him play personally.

 

[Kuryakin]

Is there a video with techno music available? Need to make my mind up about this guy fast.

Whilst I'm concerned about us focusing on more prospects than people who can make an immediate impact to our first team, I can see how this one makes sense in terms of position and age and our current predicament.

Means we get depth in an area we're relatively strong in (deep midfield) without affecting HG and he can play every conference league game.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Not bad stat for a 18-year-old

 

[Snarfalicious]

Erm, how is he so cheap? Are we sure he is real?

 

[freeeki]

A couple of less reliable journos were tweeting about this earlier, so interesting that a decent source has now picked it up

 

[Clive Wilson]

well this came out of nowhere. I assume he isn't considered a starter?

 

[Guntz]

Is there a video with techno music availble? Need to make my mind up about this guy fast.

You bet your ass there is

Sorry. Only drum and bass.

 

[Matthew]

never heard of him, but he has a cool name! so im onboard!

 

[Guntz]

No pressure on the lad, but I'm now pinning our entire hopes for the season on him.

Viva Sarr

 

[Snarfalicious]

Judging by yesterday, he might be closer than we think.

 

[lukadownthelane]

Good price but have we ever signed an outfield player from France whose been any good?!

[Kuryakin]

Now we're talkin. Sold!

 

[bbunc]

N’Pape? I love it. What position does he play?

 

[VegasII]

Erm, how is he so cheap? Are we sure he is real?

It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve signed a mirage.
