    It's a dream which could turn into a nightmare! We must be very,very sure of the lad's character before we enter into a deal.

    I think it might be fake.

    For the record, I have a hard time believing we would spend a lot of money on any player who is unlikely to retain or increase his potential sell-on value. In some circumstances I could see us signing a 30 year old, mostly when the fee is small enough and for what you will get on the pitch and training ground, you can view it as an investment. If this guy could be bought for a million or less, then yes I think we might go for it, but I think he's probably valued in the 4-6 range.

    We'll see, it just goes against everything we've seen for the last few years.

    I'd agree with you but that source has been pretty reliable for french football news. Was one of the first to link Still to Lens when we thought he was coming here, if I remember correctly.

    Seems to like playing in the rain and wrestling with defenders.

    He looks like a more mobile Kieffer Moore and isn't Welsh so I'm in <laugh>

    You're right to be sceptical of it, I am too. But as mentioned the source is good, and we have heard through the grapevine that the club are changing tact. So who knows.

    If we're going to spend that kind of money on a player I would really hope it's not a 30 year old from ligue 2.

    That would feel like an odd transfer.

    Same.

    Perhaps there's another factor we're not privy to, for example it might be a loan or they might be willing to sell cheap for some reason we don't know about.

    there's been quite a few statements said now we wanted to look at more experience this summer, I'm not entirely shocked. I imagine Le Bris knows this lad too

    There's been one choice at least with all the coaches so why not RLB having his say. ? TM 's choice was Dack.

    Is this lad a striker? I thought someone said he was a midfielder. Need Scout's input.

    His goals alone are worth a punt at 2m. I'm curious and a touch excited. But entirely ignorant as always.
