Cirkin at 100% and on form, probably yeah - would expect a left back in and it we are signing one... Might as well improve
Bulka is also linked to Galatasaray, Man Utd and Monaco too. I want to get my hopes up fully because it's Fabrizio but we might not win this race
Bulka coming in doesn't mean Patto leaves. Patto might back himself to remain number 1 or at least challenge for it. That said, if one of the european qualified clubs want Patto as a number 2 for home grown reasons, and offer us good money, there at least is some sense in accepting a deal for Patto, banking the pure profit for PSR reasons, and bringing in a second keeper to be Bulka's back up. To me it remains a shame though, especially after that save in the playoff final. Was hoping to see Patto play for us in the premier league. But if ambition means we are aiming higher we have to do whats right overall.
with monaco it's strange one juan has a massive say at that club now, so can't really see him having us both fight it out for the same player
One name i'd love to see us linked with is Bakayoko. Imagine a front 3 of Lauriente - Mayenda - Bakayoko
Better to have two good keepers than one. Btw, this thread is moving way to fast, everytime I come back there are at least 5 new pages.
I don't think Fab would ever post something false for an agent mind. He said we have opened talks, so i'd usually bet that's true when Fab says it
yeh not saying he'd knowingly do it. I meant more than it might have been leaked by an agenet to encourage bids. So its almost certainly true, and he'll have verified it with us I'm sure.
Interesting, good catch. Wiki listing him as a defender wearing number 24, no personal page yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleraine_F.C.#Current_squad Transfermarkt listing him as a CM, aged 16, one appearance for the first team, a two minute cameo back in january. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matthew-burns/profil/spieler/1190699
