Larsen starts for Groningen

There's an interview he did post-match (in perfect English) and he admits he's leaving Groningen if the right offer comes in. He didn't say where but his dream final destination is Liverpool, so a move to England would suit him. He came across as a mature and sensible 22 year old in the interview.
 
Well we didn’t put in a serious bid. 4m under asking price Is never going to be acceptable. Then tell gazette to tell fans.
Is that right😬

I wasnt sure if we were really serious or just another of the rumours of a potential signing coming in
 
Those interviews seem like an orchastrated move by the club and player .. sending a message to Boro? Up your offer and he's yours .. Interview in English and then him to talking openly about being up for the move if it comes .,.
 
This is a deal that would have to happen sooner rather than later! Man Utd have just had a bid of £7.2m turned down by Bologna for Marko Arnautović! Apparently our bids for Strand Larsen were higher than Bologna's but if the Arnautović deal goes through (and it will if Arnautović has anything to do with it) then Bologna will have extra money to spend and a forward to replace asap!

Get it done Boro, do the Strand!!!

I don’t think Gibson likes been held to ransom - maybe this was one of the deals that Wilder said was all but done last weekend and then Groningen suddenly moved the goalposts
 
Interesting to see a player speaking so openly about wanting to move. Fans over here would be up in arms hearing one of our players trying too engineer a nice away.
 
It seems fairly obvious he will be moving by that interview to England or Italy this Summer.

Add ons is the classic way to add value to contract fot the selling club without adding risk and insert a sell on clause for the player, say if some offers £25m.

Bologna seems like a Southampton of Italy. In theory they have advantage over us being Serie A. However it will be a big jump for a young player to go to Serie A after one season for a mid table Dutch team.

Man U go for Arnautovic what a perfect player to help calm a fractious dressing room. An ego that could rival Ronaldos.

Yep can’t see why that won’t work.

“Gibbo didn’t bring me here to muck about in mid table”
 
He wants to come, we cant afford him - or don't think he's worth the risk or the money involved.

Is he another one who will go on to big things and we'll look back and wish we'd just paid the money as he goes from club to club scoring for fun, moving for ridiculous amounts; or will he just end up in the european leagues dicking about, always wondering to himself what could have been if that little English club had stumped up the cash.
 
Alternatively .................is he the new Ashley Fletcher or Martin Braithwaite?

9 million Euros is enough for me.
 
I don't like that "my counsel...looking at other options now" quote. Hope we come back in and don't try and long it out to the end of the window - only for him to go elsewhere...
