Not sure I like this one. I mean it was us and Derby who enquired about him. Is he good enough? Looks and plays like Poveda to me.
2 Brazilians one called Rafinah Alcantara and the brother of Liverpools new player from Bayern. This is a midfielder. The other called Raphinah with a PH is a winger
So the price totalling £21m includes £4m in bonuses and add-ons which makes sense now, so actually £17m base price
Raphinah scored 9 goals and had 7 assists last season and has already had 2 assists this season. He will need a work permit hence the fast agreement last night, if indeed it all goes through
From the video he looks good, don't they all, but we need more troops and he certainly seems to have skill and his record isn't too shabby. Quite a step up from the transfers we were talking about 3-4 seasons ago and look what they are doing now. Prime example Klich what a bargain he is turning out to be.
Just watched motd and the city goalie was on top form but ayling should have lifted the ball over him.
We must be in for another central midfielder if we’re pushing this winger deal through. Probably a strange suggestion considering the players we're being linked with but I think John Swift at Reading would fit in really well next to Klich in our midfield and would be cheap.
Seems like a good call, represented England at all age levels until 2017 when his career seems to have stalled so at the right price could be worth a chance.
Yeah, I think Swift was available for around 5 million at the beginning of the window. He's better than we have. I see Luke Freeman is back in the Championship and scored a screamer yesterday. I wouldn't have minded a punt on him either. Raphinha can play central too btw.
We are now down to 2 midfielders from overseas so today/tomoz is cruical if either are to happen. If they dont we will concentrate on Cantwell or Benrhama or someone else from England as we would have until the 16th. The 2 overseas players are the brilliant Nahitan Nandez or the new Spanish cap Jose Campana
I think it was George Graham who used to say, see where you are 10-15 games in and you’ll know the type of season you’re in for.
Just looked at a great photo of Pep hugging and chatting to Poveda after the match, wonder what was said? Should maybe use it in a caption competition Pep: you little fkr Pov: told you not to let me go
The story is that Liverpool have dropped the asking price for Harry Wilson? If true they are proposing a £10m plus add-ons? Well we were supposed to have spoken to them at the start of the window and were told £20m? Could Wilson be the ideal midfield player at the ideal price as he is also a winger. So if its true we are trying to get Nahitan Nandez the worldy 24yo regular Uruguayan International who plays alongside Suarez, Godin, Valverde, Stuani, Rodriguez, Maxi Gomez, Bentancur, Coates. Or would you go for the Spanish International Jose Campana Harry Wilson Benrhama Cantwell
