Very very tidy in the ball and comfortable at keeping the tempo but defensively isn’t great Would probably be better in our RCM ‘10’ role if he was to come.
List of English players who played 1000+ minutes in the PL last season. How many of them are viable options? I'm struggling to see many.
If Mundle is long term injured I can definitely see that left footed right winger being back on the menu. Perhaps as a loan player seeing we’ve spent our budget on an unexpected Mundle replacement.
Aye, just still feels weird the timing of the signing. Mundle likely did his hamstring (if true) in the last 24/48 hours - no chance we then just got in touch with Lauriente then
only thing I can imagine, spit balling here, but perhaps Sassuolo had already told us they’d sell at 20m euro. We then went away and signed Adingra instead. then Mundle gets injured and we decide not to **** about and immediately go to sassuolo with the agreed price. Hence Fab saying “no add ons” etc. sounds like a fairly quick deal to do in terms of “20m straight”
Would be gutted if he’s injured but in a weird way I’d be happy that we’re not casting one of our promising young British players aside.
it may even have been a 20m release clause that wasn’t public. Would explain the modern rarity of no add ons
i think the only one who has a massive question mark over right now who will stay is neil out of the main core
Agree on all counts. We need to give some thought to pathway even in our prem incarnation - and probably need to do something about stacking the pipeline too.
They needed them for the uk but we’re currently in Portugal so should be ok while we’re there I think
