Otman Bakkal / Borini

If i had to make an estimate, between 2,5 and 4 million quid. If he fits in Laudrup's plan' s i have no idea, he did in Rodgers'. Very posession secure player Bakkal, and he can move the ball around quickly with his passing.

 

3 million seems to be the benchmark

 

but can he score?

 

Hmmz. Just did some research on the guy contract-wise. Turns out, he's a free agent as of July 1st.
I'd say grab him before someone else does.

 

wish i was BL, you a dutch scout cove?

 

I will be bloody mad if the scousers get Borini I tell you, Bloody mad and gutted! seems Rodgers is taking our dream front line to Liverpool, Borini and Siggs!! That has put me in a really bad mood, I hate football at times like this, makes me want at least six points of them this season! Please Jenkins back our manager, come on Laudrup lets see you out smart Paddy at Liverpool!.................

 

I just watch sports in the weekends. About 8/9 games from friday to monday. 5 of them from the Dutch league, 2 EPL and 1 spanish french or italian game, depends on whats on. Oh, and i'm a journalist, not a scout.

 

What we need is another evil genius! About time our board and scouts department unearthed another Ferrie Bodde to give us that Midfield General again, Joe Allen has stepped up well, but we were a different team, with Bodde in there pinging those defence busting passes!...........

 

In see we are in for French striker Edouard Duplan, who plays in the Dutch Eredivisie for FC Utrecht (Vorm). “Swansea has not yet officially bid,” said FC Utrecht director Wilco van Schaik told RTV Utrecht. “But we have heard through the grapevine that they are interested.” The Swans are also reportedly on the trail of Dutch duo Otman Bakkal and Luc Castaignos. Bakkal is an attacking midfielder with PSV who spent last season on loan at Feyenoord while Inter Milan starlet Castaignos has also been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. - WalesOnline

The wheels are in motion!................

 

tough gig cove, wanna swap jobs?

 

for me vorm, williams, dyer so far

 

Nah, i luv me job, but if scouting for Swansea includes free housing, 5k a week and business class tickets, i'll get a pen and get it done

 

I`m sure that ML & his sidekick (Erik Larsen?) have a pretty good idea of what choices are/will be available. Give them a couple of weeks or so & I`m sure we`ll see movement. Caulker or an equivalent player is paramount to me & others.

Cove, why not drop Huwbert a line, you never know!

 

What?! I have to drop a line.. surely Huw reads this forum!
Oi Huw, send me a contract offer i can't refuse
