Looks to me like it's a really methodical approach and seems clear where the priorities lie as in a RW and CF. I've not seen much concrete stuff around CM - I wonder if Eddie thinks we're ok here and can work his magic with guys like Willock and Longstaff for now? Diaby seems number 1, but I don't think he's coming. CL football is hard to turn down. Be interesting to see what happens next. Still think Isak would be perfect. No CL football next year, reasonably low profile, young.
I'm of same opinion on position's but feel the answer may be in a hybrid player for both, someone that can play upfront/wing who has a record of scoring goals. I'm just not convinced by Isak at the moment but I do think he could have a very bright future. It's unusual for Dortmund to bin a young player to a smaller team.
it's just great that we have a logical plan though chaps isn't it? We signed players on their resell value before and not for what they can bring to the team. It's refreshing to have owners and a manager we can trust. It feels almost alien.
I'm just waiting for the catch. What's the catch? New rules force the Saudi's out at some point? There was bribery and corruption forcing the PL/Government to allow the takeover? This all has to come crumbling down at some point. #notpessimisitc at all.
Sexy Sven still not officially unveiled yet. Another slow day me predicts. However I will say having 3 first team players signed by the end of June is good work, a nice change from the days of signing Xisco on deadline day.
What do you mean? If so how come we've got Sven now, Liverpool have signed Nunez and Man City have got Haarland etc?
Yeah and not one of those have said officially done. They are all signed, just not officially until the international transfer window opens, which is tomorrow. Domestic window opened 10th June, International window is 1st July. At the minute in theory its an agreement in principle but Lille won't have the funds till tomorrow.
Jordan Hackett signed! Know him from FM, turns into a good little LB in about 5 years time coming out of Spurs Academy. Good to see we are signing players for this year and the future now. I make that 3 first team and 3 youth players through the door already!
+ the kid from Southampton due n all I think (striker who scored 3 past our at SJP earlier in the year)
