Probably not now, but he's very impressive - just feel we have quite a few lads that can play his role now so can't see us going for him
As you said that's football, we wouldn't be playing PL next season if we weren't ruthless with the team that got us to the Championship tho
Elliott would be a cracking player for our RM slot, could see him and Hume being class as a partnership as well
Those who want to stay absolutely should. They'll have to rise to the challenge that they earned themselves. They're professional and will know that with growth comes bigger challenges. None of them should look at the newcomers and think they're being replaced. That's poor and weak mentality. I'd be really surprised if Ballard, Hume and Mayenda at the very least didn't start the first game. Mundle, Neil and Rigg clearly have a good chance to as well. Regis doesn't seem the kind to disrupt so he may wish to ease the new lads in slowly. The only exception is Patto as its obviously different for keepers where there's usually very much a number 1 and a number 2. It may be difficult for him to accept a demotion and he may wish to leave. This would be sad considering the journey he's been on but is unfortunate.
100% mate. Can also pivot to a 10 or drop slightly deeper. He’s a player that you could see combining with Hume, Diarra and Enzo in different ways. I’m genuinely surprised we haven’t even been linked.
That sounds to me like Lazio are basically begging someone to pay the release clause but pretending they don't want to lose him. "Oh no, if someone offers us €50m we'd be forced to sell, whatever will we do?!"
Honestly think one midfielder and our midfield can win us serious games (or two if neil leaves) the legs on Rigg, ELF, Diarra and sadiki is a little bit of a joke Even if they’re playing bad at least they’ll work so hard
100% it’s a tough ask and be a battle, but do these owners look scared? We are stepping up now, and it’s the kind of signing that would make a real statement. I’m in agreement that I’m not CL vibced we could get him, but I’m shocked we haven’t tried. Looks almost textbook for us.
This thread is wild today so I'm still about 20 pages behind. I'm not convinced we're anywhere near Djordevic yet. There will be steep competition for him, definitely not getting ahead of myself on that one.
He is nowhere near the level we after. He’s ****ing huge like sure he’s like 6’8 Napoli have Meret be a massive downgrade for them.
