    Thought the same watching his dribbling actually yeah.

    Too many fans looking at two stats and thinking the scouts can't see them and the players attributes

    Every signing can't be £40m... We'll end up like Chelsea. Let's give the best setup we've ever had a chance at getting some bodies over the line :)

    I agree - we’ve been clamouring for “finds” and to get a 20 yr old with PL experience for £10m seems like a great option.

    Gordon being offered a new contract... could be interesting to see how that develops.

    Looks a decent player with bags of potential. Will get some games off the bench when Isak needs a rest and Wilson is inevitably injured. At 21 years old (in two days time) does he need registering?

    Probably means Wilson stays but that's not an issue as he has a great scoring rate here, 2nd all time top PL scorer for us and a good option to have along side the young lad if Isak needs a break or has an issue - if he can stay fit...

    So this one was predicted, we had links to him last week - I’m going to try and hunt the source of that, unless anyone knows? I still think Thiaw will happen, Eddie comments were flattering and it seems to be more like the Botman transfer, mostly done save for some final haggling. So again not a surprise.

    So does that suggest the RW will be a big name leftfield signing? Would rule out the likes of Chiesa, Bowen, Raphinha, Mbuemo and Madueke as all have been touted a few times.

    Haven’t seen any links to Bakayoko (PSV) or Wimmer (Wolfsburg) though there’s been alleged interest in another Austrian player, so might be one to watch. However, I do have a sneaky feeling we might be trying to get Ferran Torres.

    Torres has been linked in last couple it’s weeks and I seem to recall we were linked with him last summer as well? Again haven’t actually seen much of him but I assume an upgrade on Miggy/Murphy

    I think Torres would be a great signing. And would add even more versatility/options up front. But I would be surprsised if he came here to be honest.

    Tall, strong, physical, quick, can dribble, tackle, use either foot, young (so has plenty of time to adapt)...

    Goes to ****ing **** in the box so keep him as far away from it as possible. Pretty much what you seen in Joelinton <laugh>

    It's same none of you recognized all this when I made a thread highlighting why similar attributes would make Joelinton a good midfield player.

    I will need to see the player to let you guys know if I agree on this new signing.
