I should add though that I think Djed Spence would be the smarter pickup, looks a proper player and also a higher ceiling than Aarons. Less experienced at pretty much the same age but I think worth the gamble considering we have an experienced option already.
Spence forms a double act with Johnson at Forest that has seen a lot of goals and assists. He is certainly useful but with no experience above the Championship. Also, for me, he was responsible for leaving Kieffer Moore unmarked for Bournemouth's goal on Tuesday. Can't hang him for one error though.
Dan KP claims that we're looking to sign a Jorginho-style midfielder this summer Palhinha suddenly makes more sense - while also making it look like 352 is his plan for next season, which also explains us being linked with Tielemans and Ruben Neves recently
Telegraph saying Conte wants to make 6-8 signings this summer. Really hoping that’s true and we have a good overhaul. 6-8 in, as many if not more out.
Let's hope for once we get the majority of the ins and outs in early doors ready for preseason. (Conte will demand it) This summer we shouldn't be faffing about trying to appoint a new manager and theres no tournament football. No excuses for Paratici and Levy. Clubs in Italy, Germany and Spain are already buying and selling. I understand its gonna be a hectic summer - there's a hell of a lot to do and some of our bigger targets will wait to see if a bigger cub than Spurs comes along but we need to get in there quick.
The obvious question is how many free transfers we're looking to make, as that could either speed things up for depth signings or see us stuck playing a game of chicken with two or three agents simultaneously
Fichajes has claimed we're looking at the following players this summer Milan Skriniar Jose Gimenez Marc Cucurella Denzel Dumfries James Ward-Prowse Victor Osimhen ...I hope Paratici is already scouting other players, because if Fichajes is linking us to players the first thing to check is if they're not FM regens
Another 2 assists and a goal for Trossard this afternoon. I'll continue beating this drum until he signs a new contract.
There's a few Brighton players that I'd be quite happy for us to sign. Cucherella is one of them certainly. Very skillful, works hard, is competent front to back and has an attitude. Few less inviting aspects to his game but that's something that could be worked on.
Ekrem Konur says we’ve offered Johnstone a deal til 2026 and says he’s willing to accept. Most journos have also said we’re front of the queue for him in recent weeks.
Football BSider claim that Villarreal are willing to let Pau Torres leave for £45m this summer, which is £10m below his release clause Methinks I can see a deal to be made here...
Low on the tier totem pole, but expect this to get signal boosted in a few weeks ...did I say weeks? Because I meant minutes
